Authors similar to Karen Rose? - Page 2

I read "The Fifth Victim" and wasn't really impressed but it was one of her first so I am hoping she has grown as an author and improved. Willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I was too, up until page 40-something. It's not even that there's way too much church-related stuff, but half of the characters' action make cringe and wonder out loud "why would he/sho do/say that? Are back in 5th grade?"

I either need to stop reading this genre or stop being so picky

From all the authors you've recommended to me, which would you say have the most damaged characters? In a sense like Karen Rose's Kristen and Catherine.

I would say that Tory in "Carolina Moon" and Jo in "sanctuary" are the most damaged.

Elizabeth Lowell writes some pretty good romantic suspense. Some of hers is strictly romance though. St. Kilda is one of her romantic suspense series, she has others.

Thank you both.
Hedwig - I visited your shelf briefly, I'm definitely gonna look around more, when I have some free time ( for now I'm burried up to m nose in work).
