Summary: Not Up To Par
Review: I usually love this author's books, but I honestly wonder if this one was ghostwritten by Heather Graham. From the Key West setting, to the annoying habits (fisting and flexing fingers constantly), the the overuse of some words for emphasis (tossing them into inappropriate places to punch up dialogue), I could've sworn that was Graham's work all the way. However, this book at least kept you turning the pages, which Graham's rarely do anymore.

Hopefully Ms. Spindler will return to normal with the next book.

Summary: Erica Is A Freaking Genius!
Review: I was truly impressed with the character development. This was my first book by Erica (I just ordered my next one). You will have a hard time putting this book down.

Summary: A great story with some SICK twists
Review: i've never written a review before. anyone that doesn't give this book a 5 needs to start reading a different type of fiction. i have three of her books and haven't read them yet. (i have a big library of thrillers and romantic thrillers), but they didn't sound really exciting. i got this one and had to give myself an excuse today to stop and read. (we own our own business) now i'm really looking forward to reading the others. thanks and keep it up.

Summary: Run to get this one!
Review: If you want a book that will keep you turning pages for hours on end, one that has surprises around every corner, and one that will undoubtedly have you on the edge of your seat, then Dead Run would be perfect for you! This is my first [time] at reading a book like this, a "chilling thriller" as advertised on the book spine, and I know for sure it won't be my last!

Dead Run tells the story of Liz Ames, a family counselor from St. Louis, who receives a phone call from the Key West Police Department -- her sister, Rachel, pastor of the Paradise Christian Church there, is missing. Soon after, Liz moves to Key West and sets up her practice, determined to find out what really happened to Rachel. But the police aren't very helpful, leaving Liz to do the sleuthing all by herself. And then more people go missing -- even some are found dead. And what happens after is bar none the best twisty-turny story I've ever read.

I believe "chilling thriller" is an understatement. Erica Spindler did not leave one thread untied, and I was completely mesmerized by the storyline. I caught myself many times smiling because I couldn't believe my luck at finding such a good book to read! I am definitely reading more books by Erica -- she's got a new fan in me!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must Read
Review: My first Erica Spindler read and after 350 pages in one night, should tell the rest of the story. EXCELLENT!
Just returned from driving from Montana to Key West and Duval St. 3390 miles one way,then back! Felt like I was still in the Fla. keys through the entire book. Cannot wait to start on all of her books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: taut chiller
Review: The Key West, Florida Police Department has quite a sterling record for closing out recent cases. Paradise Christian Church Pastor Rachel Howard vanished, but the cops conclude she went over the edge and just ran away. Island National Bank Vice President Larry Bernhardt is found dead, but ruled a suicide by officials. Others are either missing or dead, but law enforcement seems more laid back than usual in the Conch republic.

Rachel's sister Liz Ames comes to town to learn what really happened to her sibling. She runs up against official stonewalling and begins her own inquiries. Only bartender and former Miami cop Rick Wells listens to her. He sees links to a former South Florida case involving the incarcerated New Testament serial killer. As they work closely together, they fall in love and begin believing in second chances, but paradise contains a serpent that will kill both of them if they step any closer to the truth.

Already gaining a strong following for her terse thrillers, Erica Spindler has written her most tense tale to date. DEAD RUN is more a taut chiller than a romantic suspense though love between the lead "investigators" is intertwined cleverly into the prime plot. The who-done-it will draw serial killer fans to the novel as clues are provided, but guessing the culprit remains difficult until Ms. Spindler reveals the identity. Fans of romantic suspense and serial killer dramas will take immense pleasure from this rousing cross genre novel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great beginning, weird ending
Review: This is a very fast paced story, as are all of Erica Spindler's book that I have read so far. The characters aren't as strong as in her past books, but they are still pretty well devoloped; only occasionally acting out of character. The end of the book is the only part that I didn't like. The true identity of the killer just didn't seem plausible to me, nor did the killer's sidekick. All in all a good book, but the ending was a bit of a let down.
