But she does know that someone is watching the Robinson house, someone who has ruthlessly killed---and is only waiting for the perfect moment to stike again...
Amazon.com Review:
The best thing about Carlene Thompson's excellent psychological thriller isn't the carefully restrained writing or the credible characters. It's the way she can take one of the exhausted cliches of the genre--'Did I Marry a Serial Killer?'--and make it dance. When Deborah Robinson's handsome, overworked lawyer husband Steve suddenly disappears, she begins to wonder about his recent odd behavior and his possible involvement in a series of brutal attacks on local women. Deborah starts to dig, and she soon turns up enough scary stuff about Steve to keep you guessing and feverishly turning pages until the surprising conclusion.

There was little action in this book to recommend it and lots and lots of talk, much of if pretty mindless. I don't know if this book was really obvious or maybe I was just at the top of my game in deduction, because I had this thing pretty much figured out early in the book and the only real surprise was how right I was about the whole plot. Anyway, the plot concerns the near perfect world of Deborah and Steve with their two children. One day Steve disapears and the clues that begin to come out point to Steve being the 'Dark Alley Strangler'. Imagine Deborah's shock when she learns that her husband might be this vicious serial killer. Well, she struggled with it for sure, but in all honesty I thought she didn't take it all that hard. There was little in the amount of depth to any of the characters in the book and the friends around to assist Deborah in her time of need weren't much help and/or comfort. Joe was a mystery to me. Evan was shallow. Pete was shallower and Barbara...why was she even in the book? This is my very first Carlene Thompson book and I was not completely turned off by it, so I will probably give her another chance, but I hope her other works are better than this. In my opionion, if ever a book modeled what a three star rating is all about, this is it. Not great - Not terrible, but nothing special. This is an okay read.

I always like to order from Amazon.com. I have never had a problem of any kind with Amazon or the sellers. The packages are always in good condition and arrive in a timely fashion. This order was no exception. Everything was great! Vicky McCollum

This is the 5th book I've read by Thompson and it was great. I was surprised by the ending, and although the characters were without real depth, the plot and suspense make up for it. Also good by Thompson-In the Event of My Death, Black for Remembrance, If She Should Die, and Since You've Been Gone.

The very first book I read of Carlene Thompson was "The Way You Look Tonight" and I was immediately hooked, I went to a used bookstore to find a couple of her books that were out of print and bought all the rest new. I am waiting for her subsequent one. Her books are the only one's I have to pre-order. The only problem I have with her books is I loose a lot of sleep (I cannot put them down once I start).
Rated by buyers -
All of her books are great. One of the best things about her books,is that they are losely set in real towns.
