Rating: Summary: 15 times Review: 15 Times--that's how many times the phrase "muttered an oath" was used in this book. I should learn not to read Amazon reviews BEFORE I read a book--that called my attention to that phrase, and I couldn't get it out of my head. I think I basically finished the book just because I wanted to see how many times that phrase was used, and in answer to Out Of My Mind's question--it was 15 times! I agree with the editing--the author needs new editors! I too could see where she was going with this, and who the killer was, early on, but there were a few twists that I didn't see. All in all it was an ok book--a quick summer read, but nothing more serious than that.

Rating: Summary: Tami Hoag move over! Review: An entertaining read. Suspense from a female perspective is a change from the male dominated suspense genre. If you like Hoag you'll like Spindler ! Bring on more !
Rating: Summary: Intrigue in the Big Easy Review: As a child, writer Anna North was the victim of a terrible crime. She has changed her name and moved to New Orleans to put the past behind her but, 23 years later, the nightmare begins again. Someone has not only discovered her real identity, but is sending chilling threats to her and her friends. When red-haired women bearing a striking resemblance to Anna start getting killed on the streets of her French Quarter neighborhood, she has little doubt that she could be next. As the campaign of harassment against her heats up, it becomes increasingly hard for her to know whom to trust. Quentin Malone is a homicide detective who doesn't quite seem to buy her story at first. His partner has been exhibiting some bizarre behavior and argued with the the first redheaded victim the night she was killed. Then there is Dr. Ben Walker, who not only wants to counsel Anna on a professional level but wants a more personal relationship with her. Even Anna's sweet and gentle neighbors whom she has known for years come under suspicion. I would have read this through to the end just for the richly wrought images of French Quarter New Orleans, but the story is clever and compelling and worth sitting up late to finish.

Rating: Summary: ABSOLUTELY SPELLBINDING!... 5+ STARS! Review: Erica Spindler has done it this time! Bone Cold was absolutely spellbinding. Not only does this genius keep you on the edge of your seat with suspense, but she knocks you down in the end leaving you stunned. Mrs. Spindler has mastered the art of "Who-Dun-Its", all the while having the reader think they have fiqured the villian out just to be shocked in the end. Bone Cold is a definate must read and read again! Not only will I recommend Bone Cold to everyone I know but I cannot wait for Mrs. Spindler's next masterpiece. 5+ Stars from a Spindler Fan.
Rating: Summary: An Entertaining Read!! Review: Erica Spindler has written a fast-paced, enjoyable thriller with a several "neat" plot twists!One of the factors that adds to the charm of the book is the New Orleans setting. The reader is encouraged to take note of what are some of the author's obviously favorite haunts in the city. An added bonus is that it makes me want to go back to the Big Easy and make sure to see the sites as she sees them. Anna North is an engaging heroine, easy to believe in. It is evident why the cast of supporting players in the novel is attracted to her circle. The events are thrilling, and it is difficult to put the book down once you have gotten past the first few chapters. There is a dual storyline involving Quentin Malone's partner that takes away some enjoyment from the book, but overall, I'm thrilled that I found Erica Spindler, and grateful to Amazon reviewers, who led me to this discovery. I'm looking forward to reading some of her past work, and "Bone Cold" (bad title) will have a permanent place on my paperback book shelf. Read "Bone Cold" for a fast-paced look into a psychological mystery!
