Product Description

Product Description

**Newly formatted and includes a BONUS sneak peek of JUSTIFIED, the second in the series, at the end of the book.**

Detective Madison Knight concluded the case of a strangled woman an isolated incident. But when another woman's body is found in a park killed by the same line of neckties, she realizes they're dealing with something more serious.

Despite mounting pressure from the Sergeant and Chief to close the case even if it means putting an innocent man behind bars, and a partner who is more interested in saving his marriage than stopping a potential serial killer, Madison may have to go it alone if there's not going to be another victim.

JUSTIFIED, the second in the Madison Knight series, is also available.

Madison Knight is a woman on a mission. As the lead detective for the Stiles police department, her job is something she does not take lightly. A passion for her work, and a caring ability to see beyond the blood and evidence not only takes you to a place where you can feel her desire to stop the madman who is killing young ladies with designer ties, but propels you along the slippery ride, keeping your eyes ever focused on the next page, the next paragraph, the next sentence...I could not put the story down.

The crime thriller TIES THAT BIND opens with the mysterious killing of a young woman, who, though not without her own character flaws, nonetheless, does not deserver to die. Strangled with a very expensive designer tie, very few clues are left behind for Madison to see. When another victim shows up later, killed in the same fashion, the women seem inexplicably tied, yet so far apart it will take all of Madison's training, cunning, and gut instinct to track down the sadistic madman. I won't give anymore away. You'll have to read it for yourself to find out how she does it.

Carolyn Arnold has woven a tapestry of intense emotions, believable characters, accurate police procedures, and tension, so well wrought, it will keep your nose buried in the pages and everything else you planned to do for the day, pushed to the back burner. I highly recommend TIES THAT BIND and will not hesitate to purchase the next in the Madison Knight series. As a matter of fact, I already have. Bravo Ms. Arnold!

Perfect for any fan of the crime drama genre 15 Aug 2011
By Karen DeLabar - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Carolyn Arnold's "Ties That Bind" follows Major Crimes Detective Madison Knight on her hunt to find a murderer with expensive tastes. Another reviewer mentioned that Arnold's writing style is very close to JD Robb's "In Death" series and he's right. "Ties That Bind" is an intelligent crime drama with a head-strong, determined female lead who isn't afraid to go up against her superiors if it means getting her man. Madison was a very relatable character, someone who has been on the force long enough to see terrible things, yet she still reminds herself that her victim was someone's loved one and its up to her to find them final justice. Arnold created a nice balance with Madison, she's determined without seeming cold and caring without being overly sensitive. My only complaint was that her superiors continued to dismiss her hunches even though I thought they were valid clues and thoughts. Arnold's writing gave just enough information to hold your interest, but not too much to give away the ending. A great read for a fan of the crime drama genre.

From the first page to the very last, you will be on your toes 19 Oct 2011
By Collette Scott - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
For someone not too familiar with the workings of a police homicide investigation, this story will give you a whole new perspective on what goes on in the real world. No easy answers, not always a direct lead, oftentimes our police officials must sift through numerous lies and misleading information in what many of us would not have the patience to tackle. Ties that Bind tells a story in a methodically paced tale that you will find hard to put down, turning page after page as you wait breathlessly for the next twist. It is realistic yet entertaining, an honest look at human nature and individuals from all walks of life. Nothing is as it seems...

Carolyn Arnold has written a nitty gritty story of a murderer's revenge. Through the various twists and turns, you will never be able to figure out whodunit until the shocking end. I've always considered myself fairly good at picking out the villain, but I will tell you I was surprised at the `ties' that led up to an arrest. Way to go, Carolyn!

A well-written piece with all-too-human characters, I was sucked in from the first page when Madison reached for her chocolate-fix. This was a nicely paced story that was not over the top or unrealistic; in fact, I enjoyed every minute of it. It was entertaining without being too dark or depressing, and I can't wait to read more, Carolyn. Keep them coming!

I thoruoghly enjoyed this police story. Madison is a believable and strong character and her relationship with the boss and her partner Terry is punchy! The writing style is clear, succinct and compelling and I look forward to reading more Madison Knight stories.
