February 2016 Book of the Month.

Alone in the Dark is quite simply, a wonderful hit of escapism with a great mix of crime drama and romance. This is the second in the ‘Cincinnati series’ and focuses on human trafficking. If this is your first foray into the hugely popular fictional crime world of Karen Rose (as it was mine), then this can easily be read as a standalone novel. If you've been eagerly awaiting the next in the series then you will recognise some of the characters from Closer Than You Think , however Scarlett and Marcus are taking their turn in the crime-romance spotlight. With much of the action taking place over a two day period, and with not a lot of sleeping (of the eyes shut kind), this is a crime novel overflowing with suspense. Karen Rose adroitly handles the romance, it doesn't feel as though it’s been tacked on the side, it is a living, sometimes heavy breathing, and essential part of the story. If you like strong female characters, a romance with bite and character, plus a healthy serving of action packed investigation, this is the book for you. ~ Liz Robinson

One of our Books of the Year 2015. 

A 'Piece of Passion' from the publisher...

When I think of Karen Rose, I remember the first time that I read her work, a long time before I had the privilege of working with her, and just being blown away by her talent. I knew immediately that Karen was, and remains, an author who completely understands what drives us all, an author that understands that human relationships are the fundamental starting point for all that we do. Whether we are forging those relationships with family or friends, whether we are falling in love with someone new, whether we are running from evil, desperate to save our lives, these are the bridges that propel us forward.

I knew then that Karen was an author that I wanted to re-read and then try again and again. An author that would always make me read long after I should have turned out the light, in a desperate race to find out who was targeting our leads and whether they would find a relationship that could survive the trauma and, the adrenaline, becoming something deep and meaningful. And so it has proved.

Karen and I are publishing our seventeenth novel together this year and she has never written a book that I don’t love. In Alone in the Dark we see an author at the height of her powers focused on a subject, human trafficking, that is both relevant and newsworthy. Karen Rose is an author who may scare you, but she’s definitely an author to treasure and one who once you read, you will never forget. If you haven’t picked up Alone in the Dark, please do and then go back and re-read every Karen Rose novel. I promise you will never be disappointed.
