Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In Karen Rose’s new novel, Have You Seen Her?, a serial killer has his sights set on cheerleaders in a small town in North Carolina. The girls, abducted from their beds, have something in common apart from their cheerleading duties – they each have long dark hair. It’s imperative that the murderer is tracked down before he claims more victims, and Special Agent Steven Thatcher is dedicated to catching this monster. Thatcher is a widower, and has his own problems: his son Brad is growing away from him. Brad’s teacher, Jenna Marshall, is sympathetic, and a relationship grows between the detective and the teacher – but both Steven and Jenna are bruised and wary from earlier relationships. And the seemingly omniscient killer is setting traps – ever closer to his pursuer’s home territory.
Karen Rose’s first novel, 2003’s Don't Tell, created something of a stir, with her heroine, Eve Wilson, brutalised, left unconscious – and requiring plastic surgery. And if that weren’t enough, Rose’s next book, I Can See You, subjected Eve to further agony. So it’s something of a relief that the new book has different protagonists centre stage, even if they have to go through similar (though not quite as punishing) ordeals. Certainly, the tension here is delivered with similar mastery, and Rose (who was a high school chemistry and physics teacher – education’s loss was a gain for readers) knows how to juggle all the requisite elements in a taut narrative like this. Be prepared for long, uninterrupted sessions with Have You Seen Her? – you won’t welcome any interruptions. --Barry Forshaw --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

this is an exceptional book.a sceond novel for new author karen rose, it follows the plight of special agent steven thatcher (who we met in don't tell)who is after a serial killer. he kills young cheerleaders, shaves their heads and mutilates them.this book also follows steven thatcher's family from his young son who was abducted in the first book to his eldest son, who has "other problems".this is a gut wrenching but very well written book, that allows you to follow the story with ease and sympathy.i was a huge fan of karen rose's first book( don't tell) and highly reccommended it and i also reccommend this one.
it's not often you come accross an author of this calibur and i'm thankful that i have, it has been a joy to read such a well written story.

This was the second of KR's books that I have read and I wasn't disappointed. I loved the main characters, they had guts, brains and came across as caring. The suspense in it was great as was the humour. The whole book was well written and didn't feel rushed in anyway. One I would definetly recommend.

I really enjoyed this book. I think, however, that you should be aware that this book is firstly a romance novel which is also a thriller.If you are into real pure thrillers, this book may be a little bit too cliched and romance driven for you. Personally, I love romance novels so to find one that also has a good plot is always great and I will definitely read Karen Rose's other books.

Romance AND suspense?? The 2 genres do not mix!
why would combine one with the other?? Was it written by a 16 year old desperate to tell the world they had discovered sex but would hide their notes in the thriller section? Read more
