5.0 out of 5 stars Most riveting work yet from one of the suspense genre's best, April 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: While Others Sleep (Mira) (Mass Market Paperback)

Long-time fans of Helen R. Myers's work are well-acquainted with her incredible talent in creating characters you can reach out and touch. Never has this been more evident than in her latest release, WHILE OTHERS SLEEP.

Campbell Cody, the female protagonist, is just the sort of amazing lead character this author is famous for. Tough as nails with a touchingly vulnerable heart, Ms. Myers puts readers stoutly in her corner from page one.

Of course, no strong woman will accept anything less than a strong man, and that's just what fans will find in the male protagonist, Jackson Blade. A cynic by experience, this sexy-as-sin undercover detective plays his cards close to his vest and is all the more intriguing for it.

With a lush cast of absolutely unforgettable secondary characters and a plot that will keep you guessing until the last page, Ms. Myers has done it again. This is one suspense novel readers will continue thinking about for days after they've closed the cover for the last time. Bravo.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCITING BOOK, GREAT READING, May 9, 2004

This review is from: While Others Sleep (Mira) (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this book. Helen Myers has finally hit her stride. This is a fast-paced, well plotted story.

Romantic suspense should have a great romance, inside a great mystery. This book has both. I have read some of her other books and while they are passable, this one is great.

Campbell Cody is a likable, brave, determined woman. She is willing to go the extra mile for a friend. And when that friend disappears under strange circumstances, she sets out to find her.
Although Campbell has learned that life is not always just, that many, even in law enforcement are as corrupt as criminals, she is not. She still believes in right and wrong.

Jackson Blade is an undercover cop who has learned the same lessons as Campbell. Where she hasn't let life defeat her, Blade has just existed since his life was turned up-side down.

These two are brought together by seemingly unconnected crimes. However, as the plot moves forward, they realize they are on the same trail.

Working together to solve the mystery, they find what is missing in their lives, in each other. The mystery is solved, and two lonely people come to know themselves, in a very suspenseful and exciting way.

Overall, this is the best Helen R Myers book I have read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A chilling look at our society and the monsters that lurk .., April 1, 2004

This review is from: While Others Sleep (Mira) (Mass Market Paperback)

Helen R. Myers can spin quite a yarn. I became an instant fan several years ago after reading her romantic suspense, LOST, and then became a devotee with MORE THAN YOU KNOW. Both novels are keepers and are frequent rereads.

Her newest romantic suspense, WHILE OTHERS SLEEP, is a wild roller coaster ride with enough twists and turns to keep you reading-and entertained. From the highly intense-and effective-opening chapter to the creepy end, WHILE OTHERS SLEEP was hard to put down. This story kept up a steady pace of shocks and chills while Ms. Myers cleverly tucked small teasers into the building suspense.

Ms. Myers normally writes strong, capable and honorable heroines, and she doesn't scrimp with Campbell Cody in WHILE OTHERS SLEEP. Campbell, the heart and soul of this story, meets her equal in the morally upright-and delicious-Jackson Blade, an undercover cop who clings to the night shadows.

Both characters work during the night while others sleep and the dark of night sets the tone for this story. This pair, both with tragic episodes in their pasts, slowly claw their way toward the light. While WHILE OTHERS SLEEP isn't a particularly dark story as a whole, it does have dark undertones, especially when the villains (actually one real villain) are revealed. Monsters lurk in the dark shadows and sociopaths can come in all forms...and ages.

It was hard not to analyze WHILE OTHERS SLEEP. Is society perhaps the ultimate villain of this piece for wanton disinterest? This story is thought-provoking, insightful, and, yes, chilling.
