Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A good heroine and a believable hero and she manages to keep the characterisation consistent all the way through. Just for once we do not dwell on the awful childhood of our heroine and we are not faced with characters who seem to have endless amounts of money to spend and who can take lots of time off work.
Of course, we still have a few cliches, for example the lieutenant who is out to get the heroine being the most obvious. There are a few things a bit unresolved ... the impaired hearing thing which only gets one paragraph and the possible attraction of Alex and Nathan.
But on the whole, this is Laura Griffin's best so far. A good read with plenty of action and a well thought through plot.

I have read all of Laura Griffin's books and she just keeps getting better and better. The action literally starts from the first page and
then keeps up all the way through. The two main characters are very
likeable and how they gradually come together, even though she is facing
a murder charge is very well done. I look forward to her next book
which I have already pre-ordered.

Another great book in the Glass sisters series.
1 Feb 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Courtney Glass only agreed to meet her married ex-fling David at the park to get him to stop his constant text messaging and hash things out once and for all. When he finally shows up she's pissed. It's hot and humid and he made her wait when he's the one who wanted to meet. When he finally gets into her car he's acting all annoyed and accusing her of harassment. With no time to ponder this confusing accusation a masked gunman gets into the back of the car. After taking their cell phones he forces Courtney's hand into his and shoots David. Courtney manages mace the gunman right in the mouth and flees the car, literally running for her life.
Newly promoted Detective Will Hodges lands the case along with his partner Nathan Devereaux. When Nathan has to step down from the case because of his ties to the Glass family it's up to Will to solve David's murder and he can see right through Courtney's lies. Her story about the shooting just doesn't add up but he still believes she's innocent. With heat from David's rich widow, his lieutenant pressures him to arrest Courtney and close the case.
As the walls beginning closing in on Courtney she realizes that she has an important piece of information that the real killer wants and she has no choice but to turn to the brooding detective for help. Will knows that getting involved with his prime suspect will end his career but he just can't help being drawn in. Will he find the real killer in time or will the killer catch up to Courtney?
From the opening chapter I was hooked. Having read book one in the series, Thread of Fear, I already knew that Courtney attracts trouble but this situation takes the cake. I loved the fact that the action starts immediately and the rest of the book keeps up the pace.
Another great thing is that I never figured out who the killer was. It's so refreshing when you can't see it coming from a mile away. I also liked that the relationship between Courtney and Will happens naturally. I hate when characters jump into bed within hours of meeting each other. This was another great read by Laura Griffin. I do recommend reading Thread of Fear first just because I loved it so much but Whisper of Warning is definitely a stand alone read if you just want to jump into the action.

Romantic Suspense at its Best!
1 April 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I pre-ordered this book, and was not disappointed. Just as good as her three others - and that is saying something. Make sure you read them in order. Ms. Griffin has moved to the top of my list of favorite authors. Her books are all keepers!

I'll shout it from the rooftops!
20 Mar 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
When Courtney Glass reluctantly meets her ex-boyfriend, she doesn't count on watching him get murdered. Neither does she count on all the evidence pointing to her as the killer. But feisty Courtney refuses to give up her freedom without a fight. She struggles to prove her innocence while dodging a killer who wants her silenced forever.~~~Her only ally is an unlikely one. Will Hodges, a new detective in the homicide division, knows Courtney isn't completely honest with him, but his gut tells him she's innocent. Or maybe that's another part of him talking because he can't seem to get Courtney out of his mind. He knows he shouldn't act on their mutual attraction, but Courtney Glass is a hard woman to resist. Soon Will is taking chances with Courtney that could possibly end his career before it even has a chance to get off the ground.~~~I loved everything about this book. Courtney is such a wonderfully complicated character, a true underdog heroine you'll love from page one. Trouble finds her wherever she goes, but she never gives up. She makes mistakes and decisions that can drive you insane, but in the end, you're still anxiously waiting to see her turn her life around. And Will is the absolute perfect man for the troubled heroine. He's everything she needs and everything this reader adores in a hero. If you've liked Laura Griffin's previous works, don't miss this latest book. The suspense and romance will grab your heart right from the beginning and not let go until the last word on the last page. Whisper of Warning absolutely gets a spot on my "favorites" shelf!
