Product Description
Product Description
The papers dubbed beautiful Thea Harper Westport a Black Widow. They said she lured Senator Simon Gallatin to her home for a night of deadly passion. But psychiatrists insisted it was a short circuit of the mind, a rare seizure disorder, that had unleashed Thea's murderous rage. Now, even after the trial, the gruesome testimony of detectives and forensic specialists, Thea can't remember the terrifying moment when she struck Simon down . . . only its hideous aftermath: the torrent of blood, the broken corpse, the cold steel bite of the handcuffs as the police led her away. After six months in a posh Connecticut mental hospital, Thea is back home with her daughter, eager to make a new start. If only the community would let her forget . . . if only the chief of police wasn't after her . . . if only the senator's mother wasn't vowing revenge. And if only Thea could be sure she's really been cured. For soon the killing begins again. And once more Thea can't remember . . . even when she wakes up with her hands stained with blood.

Format:Paperback
This is the first book of judith kelman's I have read, and I wasn't disappointed, the first few chapters were a bit puzzling. Kelan outlines the characters in the book, which is a bit hard to grasp how they all fit into the storyline. But the book eventually comes together, into an excellent thriller, and a gripping finale.

Fast moving suspense
5 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
Thea Harper just got out of a mental hospital. She had a seizure and supposedly killed her boyfriend Senator simon Gallatin. She remembers nothing. But his blood was on her hands so she must of killed him right? The Senator's family is powerful and out of revenge. They want Thea to pay for what she had done. Now that Thea is trying to get her life back. Murders are happening again. Did she do them while having an another seizure. She did wake up with blood under her nails. Wasn't her feet all muddy when she woke up in the morning. And she is painting objects only the killer or victim could know. There's a good guy on her side even though she doesn't know it and he believes she couldn't have killed. Read the book for the shocking ending. If you like this book. Buy "If I should die" and " The house on the hill"

Suspenseful thriller with interesting characters.
13 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
Judith Kelman is a smart, sophisticated writer with a distinctive voice. ONE LAST KISS can be read and enjoyed by a wide variety of readers, even those who don't usually read "mystery" novels.
Ms. Kelman's next novel, SUMMER OF STORMS, will be available in March 2001.

Another winner from Judith Kelman.
8 Dec 1998
Format:Paperback
Once again, Judith Kelman has written a masterful tale of murder and madness, skillfully juggling her many characters and subplots. She kept me turning the pages and wondering how she was going to tie everything together at the end.
