5.0 out of 5 stars
A tense, shockingly written thriller,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Calculated Risk (Paperback)
Denise Tiller's Calculated Risk is a brutal novel of violence, sexual assault, murder, blackmail, betrayal. When an actuary in California who must count dead bodies as part of her job finds her work multiplying beyond reason, she must apply her mathematical and deductive skills to uncover a fiend in human guise. A tense, shockingly written thriller, Calculated Risk documents Denise Tiller as an original mystery/suspense writer of considerable promise and someone to keep track of.

By A Customer
This review is from: Calculated Risk (Paperback)
A really good read for a first effort. Good suspense but not too rough for a cozy fan. I look forward to Tiller's next effort.

This review is from: Calculated Risk (Audio CD)
From time to time you can pick up a book that you can't put down. Calculated Risk is one of those books you can really enjoy and have a good reading experience; it grabs the reader from the first page (started the book at 4:30PM - stayed awake to finish it). Enjoy!
