Review
'A blend of hard-edged police procedural and romance...more shockingly detailed than anything in Karin Slaughter or Patricia Cornwell's thrillers'
( Irish Independent )'The new girl on the block in terms of exhilarating, full-throttle thriller writers...Sterling stuff'
( News of the World )'Page-turning'
( Sunday Express )Product Description
A killer with a passion for the past, his victims tortured beyond endurance, all done in the name of a game...DIE FOR ME is Karen Rose at her most chilling best. If you love this be sure to check out the sequels to Karen's mini-trilogy, SCREAM FOR ME and KILL FOR ME.
But playing games will kill you...
When a multimedia games designer decides to take his research to the next level for his new game, fantasy ends and murder begins.
Homicide detective Vito Ciccotelli is expecting the worst. Called to a remote murder site, he is confronted with numerous bodies, all with horrific injuries, all it seems the victim of the same killer.
When the medical examiner reveals that the wounds are consistent with instruments of medieval torture, Ciccotelli turns to Sophie Johannsen, museum curator and specialist in medieval warfare, to learn more about the killer's methods and to try and find the killer before he spirals out of control...

Format:Paperback
At first I was a bit put off with the size of the book....it especially shows when it's a paperback. But I gave it a go and ended up reading almost half of it on the plane on the way back from Spain (where I bought it) as it drew me right in. The way she intertwines the happenings being experienced by the different characters, good and bad, is a good layout as if all the characters had their own chapters then it might have gotten a bit bogged down. The story is good and the medieval hint gives it something too. I haven't read any of Karen Rose's other books but this is making me look at buying some of her others to keep me going while the sequel to this one comes out.
Overall I'd recommend it if you like your typical crime ones with a bit of a new twist.

Format:Hardcover
The modern world of computer games collides with medieval history, throwing together police detective Vito Ciccotelli and archaeologist Sophie Johannsen. From a snowy Philadelphia field of modern graves to a recreated dungeon, Vito and Sophie track a serial killer who is intent on making his victims provide him with the perfect death. This fast-paced thriller packs in the best of suspense with the compelling relationship that develops between Sophie and Vito. Family obligations and professional goals are at odds for the main characters throughout, bringing them alive on the page and allowing for interesting and well-developed supporting characters. A riveting read from the opening scene, this page-turner will keep you up all night. Rose has done it again!

Format:Paperback
I am listening to Karen's books, in order. Each one is a superb thriller and and an enjoyable love story. We often meet a character in one book, for them to fall in love in another. Because I am listening to her books, as I travel up and down the country, I am struck by how everyone seems to smile with one side of their mouth, everyone rolls their eyes, and just after making love, all men carress their lover's lower lip with his thumb. This is by no means a criticism, merely observation. I have also noticed that until this book (the one I am currently listening to) sex scenes become, with each book, progressively more detailed. In Don't Tell there was little, if any sex - just love and attraction. After a few books there was oral sex. Again, this is not criticism, but observation!
