The author, Tami Hoag, earned her reputation with romance novels, but proved she could write a murder mystery / crime thriller with the best of them. Move over James Patterson and Michael Connelly. Hoag has the writing chops to stand up to a direct comparison with anyone. Evil villain? Check. Whodunit? Check. Memorable investigators? Double check (and not the two Minnesota detectives).

I didn't know she was a romance writer. That probably explains why I haven't liked the romance parts of some of her mystery/thrillers. I did enjoy the Kovac and Liska characters. According to stopyourekllingme.com, a new book in that series is due out soon.
