"After all the years spent writing true crime, I found it difficult not to play my thoughts close to the vest. It was a habit so ingrained in me that I'd perfected a diversion--a complete toning-down of self that allowed me to blend into any background," says Garner Quinn, Jane Waterhouse's complicated, vulnerable character, whose work brings her equal amounts of excitement and pain. But after the publicity resulting from her last true crime book, described so well in Waterhouse's
Graven Images, Quinn is having trouble hiding in the background. She's recognized on the street, courted or spurned by the police, and even called as an expert witness whenever a fellow true crime writer is sued. Her new high profile makes it harder--and more dangerous--for Quinn to dig into the suspicious suicide of a colleague who seemed to be on the verge of cracking open a big story linked to Quinn's past, but that doesn't stop her. And even a couple of outrageous red herrings toward the end of the book shouldn't stop you from having a wonderful time reading it.
From Library Journal
Series protagonist Garner Quinn (Graven Images, LJ 10/1/95), a best-selling true-crime writer living at the Jersey shore, has allegedly given up writing but investigates a local case of multiple murder anyway. Though the murderer massacred his family and escaped some 20 years earlier, Garner's long-time acquaintance and fellow writer T.J. swears he has seen the man in Virginia. Garner is hooked?especially since one victim was her childhood friend. When T.J. dies suddenly and, to Garner's mind, suspiciously, she feels compelled to seek the truth and keep a childhood promise. Good psychological drama, gripping and suspenseful.
