"'Karen Rose's COUNT TO TEN takes off like a house afire. There's action and chills galore in this nonstop thriller' Tess Gerritson; '[Karen Rose] delivers the kind of high-wire suspense that keeps you riveted to the edge of your seat' Lisa Gardner"
Product Description
COUNT TO TEN marks the launch of one of Headline's next new brand authors, the incomparable Karen Rose.
A young boy and his brother are abandoned by their mother and end up in the foster-care system. Let down by everyone who should have looked out for them, the boys fall prey to the abusers they meet. Is it any wonder one of them loses his mind and develops a taste for matches and revenge?
Years later, Reed Solliday, of Chicago's Fire Department, is determined to find an arsonist whose actions have just escalated to murder. With the police now involved, Reed is paired with Detective Mia Mitchell, on her first assignment since her father's death and her partner's shooting.
Solliday and Mitchell know the violence is escalating and the death toll is rising. With no apparent connection between the deaths, they are at a loss until their attention focuses on a young offenders institution and the misfits within...
Take a breath. Count to ten. And watch their world explode.

Amazing!,

This review is from: Count to Ten (Paperback)
Just finished this one and straight online to buy another of Ms Rose's thrilling and compelling reads!!!!
This book had the perfect mix of crime, thriller, romance (but not soppy-gripping!) and a solid background story to make you feel pain for the perpetrator just as much as you want to kill him yourself! Even with sensitive parts to the storyline (similar to Karin Slaughter), Rose doesn't go cheap and explain sordid details for sensationalism. She puts the right words in the right places without making you squirm uncomfortably but keeps you gasping on the edge of your seat (literally, the other bus passengers on the way to work each morning gave me a few funny looks!!!)and needing to read on whenever you get the chance. Mia and Reed are wonderful characters to love and respect and I can't wait for my next Rose adventure. THE book for lying on the sofa with a glass or three of wine!

Sorry!!!!!!!,

This review is from: Count to Ten (Paperback)
I have read several of Karen Rose books but. I am used to the to-ing and fro-ing between time and charecters. The beginning was so hard to get past. I still have the book and if any one convince me to give it another go i will.

A good read but could have been better,
By
This review is from: Count to Ten (Paperback)
There were many elements of this book that I enjoyed, it is overall a gripping crime novel. However it would have been better without the liberal doses of romance that frankly I ended up skipping whenever I encountered them, as I found them a bit tedious. Ultimately the effect was that the book couldn't make it's mind up whether it was a crime investigation novel or a mills and boon, and suffered for it. The characters were in the main interesting, and it's worth reading for the crime aspect of the book.
