Book Description

Madison Adair didn't witness her famous mother's brutal murder. But she saw it. Saw the gloved hand. . .felt the knife strike. . .knew her mother's terror. That was a lifetime ago. But the nightmares have returned; only, this time they're of a faceless serial killer stalking women in south Florida. A killer she can't see but who knows she is watching.

Surrounded by her family, Madison knows she should feel safe, but she doesn't. And how much can FBI agent Kyle Montgomery protect her, when he can't let go of the past they've shared?

Madison is Kyle's only link to the killer, but can they find the truth before the killer strikes again? Because sometimes, it's what--or who--you can't see that holds the greatest danger. . . .

More About the Author

New York Times and USA Today best selling author, Heather Graham was born somewhere in Europe and kidnapped by gypsies when she was a small child. She went on to join the Romanian circus as a trapeze artist and lion tamer. When the circus came to South Florida, she stayed, discovering that she preferred to be a shark and gator trainer.

Not really.

Heather is the child of Scottish and Irish immigrants who met and married in Chicago, and moved to South Florida, where she has spent her life. (She has, at least, been to the Russian circus in Moscow, where she wished she was one of the incredibly talented and coordinated trapeze artists.) She majored in theater arts at the University of South Florida. After a stint of several years in dinner theater, back-up vocals, and bartending, she stayed home after the birth of her third child and began to write. Her first book was with Dell, and since then, she has written over one hundred and fifty novels and novellas including category, suspense, historical romance, vampire fiction, time travel, occult, horror, and Christmas family fare.

She is pleased to have been published in approximately twenty-five languages, and has had over seventy-five million books in print. She has been honored with awards from Walden Books, B. Dalton, Georgia Romance Writers, Affaire de Coeur, Romantic Times, the Lifetime Achievement Award from RWA and more. Heather has also become the proud recipient of the Silver Bullet from Thriller Writers. Heather has had books selected for the Doubleday Book Club and the Literary Guild, and has been quoted, interviewed, or featured in such publications as The Nation, Redbook, Mystery Book Club, People and USA Today and appeared on many newscasts including Today, Entertainment Tonight and local television.

Heather loves travel and anything that has to do with the water, and is a certified scuba diver. She also loves ballroom dancing. Each year she hosts the Vampire Ball and Dinner theater at the RT convention raising money for the Pediatric Aids Society and in 2006 she hosted the first Writers for New Orleans Workshop to benefit the stricken Gulf region. She is also the founder of "The Slush Pile Players", presenting something that's almost like entertainment for various conferences and benefits. Married since high school graduation and the mother of five, her greatest love in life remains her family, but she also believes her career has been an incredible gift, and she is grateful every day to be doing something that she loves so very much for a living.

3.0 out of 5 stars Surprised to find no review, September 23, 2006

This review is from: If Looks Could Kill (Mass Market Paperback)

Ok, not one of her best and a reissue, but still worth reading, if you're a Graham fan. You do figure out who the killer is a little too soon in the book, about half way.
Kyle is her stepbrother, but has always been attracted to Madison and she of course has been in love with him all along. Of course they end up not being able to fight the attraction, especially since they are staying in the same house.
You should still enjoy all the interaction between all the siblings step and natural and ex-husbands.
Read it and decide for yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars WHO truly wrote this??, June 20, 2011

I liked this book--could easily be a Lifetime movie. What bothered me is it just seemed SO much better than Heather Graham's other books,and VERY much in the style of Lisa Jackson. In fact,so much so, I found it hard to believe Ms. Graham wrote this.

I'm getting a little tired of all these Harlequin,Silhouette,and other romance novels being re-issued,and then changing it up with a serial killer or the paranormal. The other day I read one where the hero was wearing a leisure suit and it was supposed to be occurring in the the 21st century!!! Does ANYONE proofread these books??

It is also very disconcerting,and a bad mark for Kindle produced books, that all the empty space in the typeset that provides scene definition ---letting the reader know the writer has moved on to another scene or day, or character in a different location--- has been removed. Very confusing, and one of my biggest complaints as an avid Kindle reader. This book is a perfect example.

5.0 out of 5 stars another great book from Heather Graham, January 27, 2012
