REMEMBER THE NIGHT by Linda Castillo simply knocked my socks off. It's hard to image this is the author's debut novel -- the story reads like the highly polished, complex work of a New York Times Best Selling veteran! Set in the Big Easy, this highly evocative story of murder, betrayal, and doubt is a true testament to the power of love. The characters feel like people we know, and we quickly find ourselves immersed in their lives, rooting for that all-important happy ending. I have no doubt we'll be seeing a lot more of Ms. Castillo!!!
All I can say is -- WOW!

Linda Castillo's book, REMEMBER THE NIGHT, is awesome! I couldn't put it down, and I can't think of a better recommendation for a book. Set in steamy, sensual New Orleans, the story offers everything I look for in a keeper: sizzling sexual tension, lush,visual description and breath-stopping suspense. Ms. Castillo even manages to throw in a few twists and surprises, making the story anything but predictable. Homicide detective Phillip Betancourt doesn't believe murder suspect Michelle Pelletier when she claims to have no memory of the events leading up to the murder of her boss, a prominent New Orleans attorney. It seems too convenient, considering the murder took place in her apartment, with her gun, with her apparently present at the scene. A struggling law student from the "wrong side of the tracks", and with a police record, Michelle knows she can never prove her innocence, especially to a tough cop like Betancourt; especially when he begins to probe into her shady past. Phillip knows he can't trust the beautiful, beguiling suspect, knows his attraction to Michelle is forcing him way over the professional line. But fate and passion seem bent on compelling them into each other's arms. Add a devious--and surprising--villian, heated sexual tension, tender love scenes, and spine-tingling suspense, and you have a keeper in REMEMBER THE NIGHT. I can't wait for Ms. Castillo's next book.
Leaves you waiting for the next one...
