Cat and Mouse. Someone is going to blow up the refinery-several square miles of tanks and vessels filled with deadly chemicals and high-pressure gases. Nearly everything in the plant is explosive, and it will go up with the force of an atomic bomb. Scores of people will be killed. And the guy planning to do it is the same bastard that murdered Hannah Morrison's best friend. It's someone on the inside, someone Hannah knows-but who? He's a genius at covering his tracks, leading her down blind alleys, toying with her...letting her know he can get to her any time he wants. There's only one thing she knows for certain-if she doesn't find out who the saboteur is and stop him, she'll be the next one to die...

Thriller readers rejoice! We have a new star to write for us.,

This review is from: Unreasonable Risk (Hardcover)
Karen Hall hits the ground running with the release of her first book, a fast paced thriller. Using her experience as a chemical engineer in an oil refinery, Hall creates a new landscape for thriller fans to explore. While I love a good Sandford cop romp or a Grisham lawyer chase as much as the next thriller fan, I really enjoyed joining Hall's environmental engineer, Hanna Morrison, in the unexplored world of oil refining.Of course Hanna is smart, she would have to be to work as an engineer in a refinery, but she's also has insecurities and frustrations that she manages to keep in check to get the job done in a world built for and by men. In short, she's a real woman in a real industrial job who is tough without being a man hating shrew. I'm already waiting for the next "Hanna Morrison Mystery" and I'm so happy to have found my new favorite author, Karen Hall.

More Hannah Morrison, please!,

This review is from: Unreasonable Risk (Hardcover)
Readers get a bargain with Unreasonable Risk--a truckload of troubling HAZMAT scenarios, a female engineer encountering discrimination, personal fears and an unlikely love interest in this fast-moving thriller set at an oil refinery threatened by a saboteur in a frosty Minnesota winter. Protagonist Hannah Morrison rings true because author Karen Hall knows what she writes about. Ms. Hall is an environmental engineer herself and she knows how to explain complicated spaces, chemicals and process in clear prose.Hall cares about environmental risks and the dangers that haunt the petrochemical industry, but she resists creating bad guys and good guys--they are mostly guys--in simplistic categories. Every woman has met these men in her workplace whether it's the crude sexist or the fair-minded working partner. A terrifying fire-fighting scene, an icy climb at a tank farm, a car rollover in a blizzard all offer fresh adventure settings for readers tired of slick urban or isolated rural settings typical of the genre. Frankly, the believable and documented potential for environmental disaster felt even more frightening than the stalking killer determined to silence Hannah Morrison for what she finally uncovers. Bravo, Ms. Hall. Bring Hannah back for more. She gets scared, she uses her brain, she fights back and she offers science-based detective work. No wonder her smart-mouth TV reporter and love interest wants treats Hannah to great meals and good sex.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Scary, sad, funny and all too possible,
This review is from: Unreasonable Risk (Hardcover)
I found myself looking for an extra 10 or 15 minutes ..just one more page... just until I see what happens next. The action raced around a setting that was new to me and frighteningly unfamiliar. I worried about the characters not really sure if I was cheering on the "bad guy". Parts of this book made me laugh out loud and parts brought tears to my eyes. What more can you ask of a story?
