Book Description

April 8, 2008

When CSI investigator Claire Watson meets John Rock on holiday, the attraction is instant—but so is the feeling that they've met before. Now uneasy memories from a decade earlier are beginning to surface for Claire: memories of a body found at the bottom of a cliff in Northern Ireland, a possible suicide or, perhaps, a murder. Now, ten years later in the South of France, she has once again encountered the dead woman's husband, the man Claire and her colleagues had believed was the killer, though they could never pin the crime on him.

But did John's wife really die by his hands? And if he is a cold-blooded murderer, why is Claire so violently attracted to him?

5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating romantic suspense, April 7, 2007
This review is from: Meeting Point: A Novel (Hardcover)
Her long time friend Isabel persuades Claire Watson that the two of them accompanied by her son Sam, his cousin David, and the adults' pal George need to vacation on the French Rivera like Cary Grant did in To Catch a Thief. On her French holiday, Claire meets John "Rocky" Rock. They are attracted to one another, but as she falls in love, she keeps thinking they met before, but where or when remains initially elusive.

However, as they spend time together, memories of a decade earlier in Northern Ireland surface of a broken marriage leading to a suicide off the cliffs that some believed was spousal homicide. As George acts jealous and angry, Claire ponders whether her Rocky might be that same killer from ten years ago?

This character driven fascinating romantic suspense feels like a cross between To Catch a Thief and Suspicion. Claire's mixed feelings make for a fine tale as she struggles with her growing love for seemingly kindhearted and charming Rocky while beginning to think he is the same person who got away with murder near her hometown. Fans will enjoy this exciting thriller of love and mayhem in the south of France.
