Product Description
Product Description
With the scintillating sensuality and high-voltage thrills that distinguish all of her blockbusters of romantic suspense, Linda Howard grips the imagination and touches the heart as only she can, in her sixth dazzling "New York Times" bestseller.
A talented painter in her early thirties, Paris Sweeney has achieved enviable success: her work sells at an exclusive New York City gallery, and her popularity is at an all-time high. Life is good, and Sweeney, as she prefers to be called, is content.
But lately, Sweeney's dreams -- lush, vivid, and drenched in vibrant hues -- seem to echo a growing restlessness that has taken hold of her. Suddenly, impulsively, Sweeney falls into a night of intense passion with millionaire Richard Worth. Now, the true dangers of her all-consuming urges are about to be revealed where Sweeney least expects it: in her paintings.
After a creative frenzy she can barely recall, Sweeney discovers she has rendered a disturbing image -- a graphic murder scene. Against her better instincts, she returns to the canvas time and again, filling out each chilling detail piece by piece. But when a shattering, real-life murder mirrors her creation, Sweeney falls under suspicion. With every stroke of her brush, she risks incriminating herself with her inexplicable knowledge of a deadly crime. And every desire -- including her hunger for Richard -- is loaded with uncertainty as Sweeney races to unmask a killer.

Format:Hardcover
Linda Howard is one of my favorite authors and I was greatly disappointed by this absolutely terrible book. Those of you expecting another Dream Man should just go back and reread that book--this one is sure to disappoint. From the implausible opening prologue to the all-too-predictable ending, there's nothing but boredom in store for the reader. Although Howard has used paranormal elements effectively in other books, this time they're just unbelievably stupid and she offers no explanation as to why the heroine, Sweeney, is suddenly able to see ghosts, make traffic lights change, etc. Plus, the cast of "bad" characters are so broadly drawn you know who's going to be the killer practically from page one. The romance is also annoyingly predictable. The book and storyline had potential, but Howard dropped the ball----her last book, Kill and Tell wasn't good either, but this one's worse! Here's hoping Howard returns to the form of her great books, Son of the Morning and Dream Man in her next book.

Again this is one of the new Linda Howard books, where she tries to blend suspense and passion. As usual, it ends up in a dissappointment for both fans of thrillers and romances. The suspense is a bit flat or quite unrealistic, the romance and passion seem like a necessary addition. I must say I found the basic idea of a heroine who sees ghosts all around her, quite interesting. But suprisingly, Howard does not do anything with this interesting ability. Instead the story evolves around the fact that the heroine is making a painting, which seems to tell something about a murder.... I am one of those Linda Howard fans that have read all her books and I am frequently rereading the older ones. But since Son of the Morning, I am getting more hesitant in buying Howard's books, because I think the mixture of suspense and romance is just not working in her case. Linda Howard was outstanding in romances, portraying the characters of the heroes and heroines in her book and the passion between them. I sincerely hope she will return to that.

Howard's books are irresistible once you start! The suspense is great and I think she handle the unknown with credibilty. Paris is led on a path of discovery in her work and in her heart. All the while a murderer is getting closer as is Richard. It is such an enjoyable read. I recommend it, especially if you liked "Dream Man" (also by Linda Howard).
