Product Description
Product Description
She saw him in the shadows. She felt him watching her. She knew he was going to get her...
The killer always left a signature on his victims...an X carved in their flesh. But he'd spent the last twenty years in a mental hospital. Long enough for the world to forget him. But not long enough for him to forget the rich old woman who had him committed--or her pretty granddaughter.
Now he's been set free.
Ellie Duveen was busy running her own restaurant and tenderly watching over her fragile grandmother. Then she met former cop Dan Cassidy, the owner of a local vineyard, and Ellie's hectic life slowed just enough to let her fall in love.
So Ellie didn't notice when police found a dead body marked with a grisly X. She only felt someone watching her. Following her. And as a terrifying secret came back from the past to haunt her, Ellie needed an ex-cop's instincts and more. She needed her own unshakable courage to outsmart a killer's deadly, twisted plan.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Starts slowly and little by little the rhythm gets to you. And you just can't put the book down. Good thriller. After twenty years, Buck Duveen is released from the hospital even though he is a very violent and dangerous psycho. Time to revenge. And to get back what he thinks it belongs to him. But the woman he is after is in love with a ex-cop. Great timing.

Format:Hardcover
For two decades, Buck Duveen was imprisoned in one of New York's most expensive and secure mental institutions. He had been committed by Lottie Parish, the individual he tried to kill. Now that Lottie's fortunes have ebbed, the institution (lacking funds) frees Buck even though they know that he is a deadly psychopath. When Buck is free, he withdraws his cash from a savings account and heads to California, determined to get even with Lottie and her granddaughter Ellie, his half-sister.
Buck thinks that if he rids himself of his two female relatives, he inherits both of their estates. He carefully stalks his prey so that he can become familiar with their routines. Ellie, who does not even know Buck exists, is unaware of the danger creeping closer to her. Only former detective turned vintner, Dan Cassidy, who loves Ellie, stands in the way of the madman.
SOONER OR LATER is a pulse pounding thriller that grabs readers from the start and builds increasingly greater tension through each subsequent page until the audience feels every nerve pulsating to the limit. The novel is a well-structured drama, told from the perspectives of the various participants in a smooth seamless tale. Lovers of psychological suspense will want to peruse this exciting book.

Format:Hardcover
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Elizabeth Adler's style is similar to the latest Nora Roberts' titles (ie. Sanctuary, River's End, Homeport). Each of Elizabeth Adler's novels is stronger than the last. A bit of mystery, a lot of romance and suspense! "Fortune is a Woman" and "The Rich shall inherit" are worth reading as well. The only novel I have read of hers which I found weak and predictable was 'Secrets of the Villa Mimosa." However, not even that book stops me from seeking out her new releases I A great read for those afternoons at the cottage!
