Took a while to take off April 6, 2008

A well written book which drags you along with it as the adventure escalates. It did take me a considerable amount of time to get into it - I was just starting Chapter 8 (p.116) and was still unsure whether I was interested, gave it another chapter and suddenly became hooked. The only thing I found confusing was the time frame, I believe it all happens in a week, which is a little bizarre when you get to the end and realise how much has happened. Another downside is I felt I was already meant to know something about the characters although this book isn't part of a series.
Other than that, which is always something you can live with, the book is very good. It's jam-packed with the stuff that makes for an excellent thriller. It is face-paced, once it gets going; a good mixture of characters; different crimes and locations as well as a bit of romance. Judging by the ending I have a feeling if I was to pick up another book by Karen Rose written after this one, that there'll be reference to one or two of the characters introduced in `Nothing to Fear'.
It is always difficult to discuss the plot when reviewing a thriller and therefore I won't as sufficient information is available on Amazon and other places on the internet. I have two others of hers on my bookshelves and I am looking forward to reading them.

This was a complex book, the main characters Dana - who has a pretty chequered background and runs an inner city women's shelter and Ethan the marine, turned security expert are both well developed characters- not without their flaws. Their immediate supporting casts are complementary both to the main characters and the plot. The psychotic killer is really quite scary - and all too believable. I raced along at a fair pace and more obstacles appeared at almost every page turn.
The only downside it has lots of people involved on the periphery and I had a bit of a problem at times figuring out if they were going to be important ( and the majority were not).
Aside from that well worth a read, but it might just make you a little jumpy!
