Summary: Not As Bad As Previously Reviewed
Review: People should really keep in mind that this is a re-print of an earlier title by Ms. Hoag and as the saying goes practice makes perfect. Although it does not measure up to her later titles (Ashes to Ashes for example) it is still not a waste of time to pick this book up and read it.Yes, there is romance involved and personally I feel that it was an added benefit to the story. It by no means overshadowed the storyline of murder in a small town where the Amish live together with the English. This is really a multi-layer story about the main characters Dane and Elizabeth, the secondary characters, and changes that happen when the worst is seen in a town where everyone knows everyons business. Murder is unheard of in the last thirty-three years in Still Water. Now one of the leaders of this small community is found dead in his car. The reasons behind this murder are many and the finger points at several people and at no one. Elizabeth who just moved from Atlanta with her good looks, southern accent,troubled son, and has purchases the local news paper finds the body of the local money man and finds herself in the center of the investigatation. Dane the local sheriff is a ex-football player turned law officer. He is carrying around some old hurts from his past that color the way he looks at women like Elizabeth but he still can't avoid the attraction that he feels for her. To make matters worse she is a suspect to the murder or at the very least a unsuspected witness. Dane needs to solve the murder and at the same time protect his heart and the woman that threatnes his peacful existance. Don't pick up this book thinking that it is only a suspense, but at the same time don't avoid it because of the romance involved. At times it is slow going but it is still a well written story by an author that I feel has proven herself in later works.

Summary: Are We Reading the Same Book?
Review: I'm truly surprised by all the negative comments, as this book, which I read years ago, remains my all-time favorite Tami Hoag book. I'm a very picky reader, and don't give praise easily, so I'm puzzled as to why so many readers absolutely hated this book. Was it rewritten prior to its re-release? Or are most readers looking for straight suspense (which is what Hoag writes now) and disappointed to discover that this book is a romantic suspense?
I'll admit that I wasn't crazy about the hero. He was a little flat. But I have to disagree with some people's estimation of the heroine. Anybody who believes that Elizabeth Stuart is a typical romance heroine hasn't read much romance. As a matter of fact, I think the heroine is why I liked the book so much. She was flawed, in-your-face bold, and not afraid to call a spade a spade. She might have been beautiful, but she was far from pristine. Elizabeth was all raw edges and false bravado that covered an inner vulnerability, and she was what kept me reading. My two cents worth. Just wanted to point out that not everybody hated this book...some of us loved it.

Summary: Was this Mills & Boon?
Review: This was truly appalling! All the characters were two dimensional and the plot was completely transparent. This is in fact a cheap romance masquerading as a thriller. Very disappointing and I would not recommend that anyone buy this.

Summary: Not as good as her others! But still a good read.
Review: I am a huge Hoag fan - but do not judge Tami Hoag by this book. Please read "Night Sins", "Guilty as Sin", "Cry Wolfe" and "A Thin Red Line" first! She is a great writer and this book doesn't quite measure up to the others. It's a little predictable and not as nerve wracking as the 4 above. However, it is a good book that held my interest. After reading the 4 above, then try "Still Waters" and "Dark Paradise".

Summary: Okay - More romance than mystery not my favorite
Review: This was the first book I read of Tami Hoag. I am a huge mystery fan and just could not get into this book. Like other reviews I found that there was to much "romance" and not enought mystery. To much time was spent on Dane and Elizabeth getting "together". It usually only takes me a couple of days to finish a book, but this book took forever to finish. In the end I didn't care what happened I just wanted the book to be over. It may be a good read for someone who likes a lot of romance and a little mystery.

Summary: Great romance, fun story, snappy dialogue---
Review: Remember that this book was written before Tami Hoag reinvented herself as a premiere thriller writer. If you love her new books (ASHES TO ASHES, A THIN DARK LINE), this may not be your cup of tea. It's clearly from her "past life", with more romance than suspense and none of her trademark chills-n-thrills. It's totally fun--and funny--and sexy--and smart. If you read it looking for a hard-hitting, world-class thriller (like ASHES), you'll be confused; but enjoy it for what it IS, and then buy her next new book for bigger thrills and chills.

Summary: You've got to be kidding me
Review: I believe this book belongs in the teenage romance section of the bookstore. Through the course of one week, six different people fall in love with each other. A few other semi-interesting events are scattered around that general idea. But how many times must we read the line- "She needed him badly.." Somebody shoot me!

Summary: Still Waters
Review: This was the first book I read of Tami Hoag's. I got it when it first came out, it is still the best thing that she has ever written. A great who-done it, single parents with teenaged children and a hot romance. Elizabeth and Dane are great. Dane even gets a mention in Guilty as Sin.

Summary: Tami Hoag does it again
Review: Every book I have read by Tami Hoag is just amazing. She keeps her readers interested to the end and adds a surprising twist each time. Still Waters was really a great book and the ending is unbelievable. Read it, you'll absolutely love it and any other book she's written.

Summary: Absolutely excellent ...didn't want it to end.
Review: This book was wonderful. Just the right amount of romance and mystery. I loved both the main characters, Elizabeth & Dane. It grabbed my attention the very first page, and kept it through to the last. This book is a must read if you like broody, handsome, challenging, independent male leads. It will not disappoint!
