Vivid characters which seem to leap off the pages and into reality., November 27, 2010
This review is from: To Catch a Killer (Silhouette Romantic Suspense) (Mass Market Paperback)
Ten years ago Kara Thistle left her small hometown in California to begin her FBI career. Now the lovely FBI special agent returns to Lantern Cove. It is a place Kara never expected to see again. But it is where the third body of a child has been discovered with the same MO of the high profile case her team is investigating. Kara is the lead of the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team "CARD". They are seeking the serial killer that the media has dubbed the Babysitter. To make Kara's job even more difficult is the fact that she must work with her former lover - Lantern Cove Police Chief Matthew "Matt" Beauchamp. Matt never expected to see Kara again, though he has never forgotten her. Due to their one night together, the guilt he still feels, and all the hard feelings between them, Matt still wants her. Then he learns her secret. Now their daughter, Briana, has been kidnapped by the Babysitter. Kara and Matt must somehow manage to put their history aside and focus on finding Briana before she becomes the killer's fourth victim. ***** FIVE STARS! This story is filled with vivid characters which seem to leap off the pages and into reality. The writing style is smooth, allowing the reader to actually feel a sense of danger. It is also obvious that Van Meter conducted A LOT of research, in a variety of areas and topics, in order to make the investigation plot realistic. Did she succeed? Oh, yeah! I bit my poor fingernails down to nubs while reading long into the night. I could not seem to turn the pages fast enough to my eagerness to see what would happen next. Kimberly Van Meter needs to write faster, because I want more - NOW! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews

Originally posted at: [...] Who says you can't go back home? Kara Thistle's been away for ten long years and is about to discover the many reasons why this is both true... and very very false. Enter Matthew Beauchamp - the main reason she's dreading this trip back to Lantern Cove. Taking off at a run from the very first page, this action-packed crime mystery will have you on the edge of your seat. Kara Thistle is a woman who knows what she wants and will not settle for anything less than just that. Her strong will and intense determination are what makes her so successful as an FBI agent, although it does have a tendency to interfere with her personal relationships at times. I really like a strong female lead character, but Kara had a bad habit of pushing everyone and everything out of her line of sight and forging on, and to heck with the consequences. However, despite this one flaw, I did like Kara's character more and more as I got to know her. You begin to understand just why she is the way she is. On the other hand, Matthew Beauchamp is the kind of guy you can rely on. He's steady, he's sure, and he's steadfast. He has a stubborn streak in him as well, but he's much better at working around it than Kara is, making him a good pairing for her. I liked Matthew a lot - he reminds me a lot of the kind of guy I'd go for - being both cautious and not afraid to take a risk at the same time. He's intelligent and creative and just what Kara needs to even out her life. Aside from Kara's one major character flaw, the characters are interesting and the story is engrossing, bringing you in and holding you captive until the very end. You really are on the hunt with them, desperate to find the person responsible for such horrible murders. With twists and turns along the way, To Catch a Killer is a fast-paced story full of suspense and intense romance that you'll be glad you picked up.
