FALLING HARD
Dylan Sanders is attending a wedding in the mountains when his trip takes a terrible turn. A former lover appears out of nowhere, demands a private conversation, and lures him into the woods, then leaves him there, drugged and disoriented. The next morning, the woman has disappeared, and Dylan is accused of her murder.
FALLING FAST
Catherine Hilliard, a beautiful psychi haunted by her own dark past, is reluctant to offer up her cryptic visions to help skeptical Dylan figure out what's going on, but she can't leave her best friend's brother-in-law on his own ... or deny the powerful, inexplicable connection between them.
FALLING STRAIGHT INTO DANGER
With every new clue pointing to Dylan as the murderer, and Catherine now identified as his accomplice, it becomes clear that a wily and ruthless mastermind has targeted both of them, with a motive that's very personal and utterly brutal. Soon their race to expose the truth is no longer about staying out of jail but about staying alive ... and finding the killer before the killer finds them. |
 RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:
While I like SILENT FALL's characters and plot better than what is featured in
SILENT RUN, again, the storyline is so outrageous, that I have to laugh a bit at
the complexities of it all. Yes, I realize the psychic close connection the
heroine has with the killer and the victim, but in my mind it is just so
far-fetched that it becomes a bit silly. Truly, what are the odds of the killer being
who it is, and even more kooky, being hired by who he is?
The one thing I did enjoy is the surprise of who the mastermind is. Freethy did a great job of hiding that, and so the book kind of redeems itself to me at the last minute.
As SILENT RUN and SILENT FALL are my first forays into the writing of Barbara Freethy, I can say that they are both pretty decent reads and while not exactly picture perfect, they are entertaining enough that I would read another book written by her.
