EXCITING BOOK, GREAT READING

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.

Very Exciting Book!

While Others Sleep by Helen R Myers is a very exciting story. I really had a fun time reading this one!

Most riveting work yet from one of the suspense genre's best

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.LK

It's a Ten!!

Helen, you've done it again! What a fantastic ride. Your talent astounds. Each new release reminds why I became a fan years ago after you hooked me with "Whispers in the Woods." WHILE OTHERS SLEEP shows the adept way you weave mystery, suspense, romance, and the complexity of human relationships into a memorable read. Rugged Jackson Blade could find no better mate than Campbell Cody - or "Bella Belle" as Blade calls her. Those two make an enviable combination! In addition, the secondary characters and lovable dog brought such richness to the plot. I'm thrilled and satisfied. This reader hated to reach the end. Thanks!! LB

Fans of romantic suspense will enjoy this terse tale

In Longview, Texas, Campbell Cody works for her father's security firm that provides protection to Maple View Retirement Community. During a ferocious storm, Campbell observes resident Maida Livingston speed out of the complex. Campbell reports the incident, but cannot do anything about it especially after lightning struck her.Jackson Blade works undercover for the police trying to bring drug peddlers and runners to justice. He runs into Campbell at the hospital. Later Campbell learns that Maida is dead. The police find blood in her home and believe the murder occurred there; Campbell is a suspect. When Campbell meets Jackson again, he admits he is an undercover cop. As they work together to solve who killed Maida, they fall in love, but his work and her aspirations make anything permanent impossible.Though the "dueling" murder mystery investigations (official and by the lead couple) takes a while before coming to the forefront, fans of romantic suspense will enjoy this terse tale due to a powerful cast especially the support crew. Between many of the secondary characters and the heroine, readers receive an intriguing deep look at what goes on behind the scenes of a security firm keeping a fenced in community safe. Jackson is the more enigmatic individual as he wants Campbell, but knows he cannot have her as long as he remains underground. No one in the audience will go to sleep until they finish this novel in one sitting.Harriet Klausner
