Blurb:
The
girl’s lifeless body lies next to a scattered bouquet of crimson
roses, the petals around her head like tiny pools of blood. Gripped
in her hand is the note that came with the flowers, sent by someone
who wanted her dead.
When
champion figure skater Michaela
Glover returns
to her hometown of Woodbridge for
a special performance, Detective
Amanda Steele is
part of the cheering crowds. But when Michaela is discovered dead in
her dressing room after the show, Amanda is the first to investigate
the shocking scene.
There is no sign of foul play, and the
room is overflowing with flowers from Michaela’s adoring fans. But
Amanda’s heart stops at the sight of a few roses tied with black
ribbon and a note that reads “You’ll be sorry”. And when
forensic tests reveal the ribbon was laced in something Michaela was
deathly allergic to, Amanda is certain this is cold-blooded
murder.
Desperate for a lead, Amanda dives into Michaela’s
life to find out who could possibly want this sweet girl dead. She
soon discovers that despite having a glittering future ahead of her,
Michaela had a troubled past, and was surrounded by people jealous of
her success.
When someone close to Michaela is discovered
brutally murdered, Amanda is terrified there could be yet more
innocent victims to follow. Can
she uncover the twisted killer’s identity before they strike
again?
A completely gripping crime thriller that will have
you racing through the pages! Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons,
Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.
My Review:
Her Deadly Rose is the twelfth book in the Detective Amanda Steele Series by Carolyn Arnold. Her Deadly Rose grabbed my attention from the first page and continued until the last page. Once I picked it up and started reading I couldn’t put it down I had to know who the killer was. I also wanted to why someone would or could do such a horrible thing.
Detective Amanda Steele was attending the ice skating show of her best friend’s niece who is the star of the show. After the show, Amanda and her friend go backstage to see her niece and find her dead in her dressing room.
Detective Amanda Steele’s investigation leads her to an unnumbered amount of suspects. With each interview, I would think maybe they did it but then more evidence or clues would turn up and I would be like well maybe not, and on to the next suspect. The clues kept coming leaving more questions in their wake. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough as I waited for Amanda and Trent sus out the killer.
Her Deadly Rose had me in tears on more than one occasion as I felt what the characters were feeling. The descriptions and the writing made that possible.
I enjoyed reading Her Deadly Rose so much that I highly suggest picking up a copy of Her Deadly Rose today!
