The Hiding Place

As always Karen Harper has a hit. I just love her books. Hard to put down once you start reading. I received this book while we were in the dark here in Kentucky after the ice storm and I just sat read all bundled up to keep from freezing and really enjoyed it's plot and it kept my mind off the power being off and having no heat. It is a great book.

Simply great

As with all Karen Harper novels this one is mezmerizing. She is an amazing storyteller. I never miss one of her novels and I'm never disappointed. They just get better with each one.

action-packed romantic suspense

Finders Keepers private investigator Tara Kinsale awakens after months in a coma to a series of deep stress shockers. First she learns that her best friend Alexis was murdered. Second, that she had been named guardian of Alexis' daughter Claire as the father is a rat who deserted his then wife and child for another woman. Third Claire's uncle, Nick McMahon has arrived from military duty in Afghanistan to raise his niece. Fourth her own spouse divorced her and remarried. Finally, she learns from her doctor that she gave birth while in the coma. As Tara struggles to bring the parts together into a cohesive package, she agrees to help Nick and Claire become a family. She makes inquires into her lost nine months especially the infant she birthed, but some unknown person wants her to remain either ignorant or dead. This action-packed romantic suspense hooks the audience from the moment Tara opens her eyes to learn one stunner after another starting with the memory of how she became comatose until the final confrontation. The story line is fast-paced though at times overly angst laden with so much pressure on Tara. Still this is an exciting thriller as the past still haunts the heroine's present. Harriet Klausner
