Romance Suspense

Rachel Weiss thought she’d dealt with her feelings for Booth when she left the shadowy world as a CIA operative behind three years earlier after discovering her love affair with Booth had produced more than a broken heart. She was pregnant with his child. Rachel walked away from the CIA and Booth who let her go without a fight further proof that her decision was for the best. If Booth truly cared about her, wouldn’t he have at least tried to convince her to stay?

Three years later, Rachel settled into a new, far more stable career as Assistant US Ambassador to Israel, happily raising her two-year old daughter Ava.

When someone text messages Rachel asking if she knows where Booth Tanner is, she is unwillingly plunged back into the murky world of espionage.

Re: Shadow Games

I also love the shows like 48 hours, CSI's Criminal Minds and there is also one called most wicked. These shows may not be fully factual but...they try to give the lay-person some idea of what makes a killer do what they do. As you stated there are so many types from manslaughter to seriel to terrorist killers. I like the way an author can take you on an imaginary thrill of discovering who the killer in their book is.

Mary, I admire anyone who can create romantic suspense.Even if I watched the real life shows, I'm not sure I would have the talent to get the detail on paper.Shadow Games sounds like a fascinating read and I wish you lots of sales.

I enjoy reading romantic suspense, even when it frightens me. It is always disturbing to see how the mind of a madman works. Good luck on your new release. It sounds great!

I used to watch shows like 48 hours and Cold Case Files but,I enjoy reading romantic suspense more. The shows and books capture my attention because I want to know what happens next.

I like to fall asleep to those "Husband Kills Wife" shows, even though they give me strange dreams. I think it's because I always know who did it. When HASN'T it been the ex/boyfriend/husband of the victim? Almost never. I like that kind of closure in a program.

Root of All Evil looks great, kind of like an espisode of Criminal Minds (my guilty pleasure)
(

My very first favorite books were historical romances, but recently I have fell in love with more of todays romance/mistery books. I'm very much looking forward to checking this book out. I'm sure I'll love it!

I'm also a big fan of Crime shows both true life and fiction and I sometimes find it scary how easily some of them justify their crimes. My husband is convinced I'm doing research!

I love romantic suspense and these books look wonderful..
(

Criminal Minds tries to show not only the mind of the criminal, but how it affects the profilers!
(
Karin Tillotson 8:27pm April 15, 2010)

I love romantic suspense books! I adore mysteries & what could be better than mystery & romance in the same book?
(
Cheryl Bradley 8:28pm April 15, 2010)

Bones and Castle are among my favorite shows.
(

Shadow Games sounds like the Profiler TV series. Your villian sounds like the "Jack of All Trade" in the Profiler. Loves those crime TV series and books.
(

Yesterday on the Internet I saw a question about the young actress in the new movie Kick-Ass. The question was whether she was too young for the part, that it may affect her. In the light of the Nietzsche quote I wonder even more. Though I have never much liked "horror" movies, I am generally more at ease with books--unless they are too bloody and gruesome. I can't even bear to watch hospital shows.

I like a little fright in my reading.

Thank you for your post, Mary.

I remember watching a psychologist/crime expert interviewed on TV some years back. He made an observation that has stayed with me: "When someone creates a villain, he does so out of his own experience."

I wonder how this applies to writers of romantic suspense and other genres of thrillers. What's been happening an author's life that caused her to create her kinds of villains and their deeds?

I've heard of cases in which authors draw their inspiration from real-life criminals. But I wonder what caused this particular author to draw inspiration from this particular criminal.

Maybe the author doesn't know. Or doesn't want to. And that just adds to the mystery.
