4.0 out of 5 stars An Innovative Crime, 23 Oct 2007
By Mr. A. Day "Junglebunney" (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Count to Ten (Paperback)
A troubled soul plans and executes the elimination of people who have destroyed elements of his past in a chronological and innovative manner though somewhat horrific.

The characters surrounding this journey are depicted in tune with the tone of the writing and add great flavour to it's read. Their spice contributes to the mixture of a romantic interlude ( slightly more productive than Louisa and Martin from Port Wenn), family relationships, troubling events at a school for delinquent kids, a terrorism of journalists fighting for their crust of a scoop and an investigation team routing for the motive, manner and method of the killer in an unpredictable, just, manner. Each character has a troubled personal life many of them routed deeply in their past creating a parallel with the killer though different solutions are encountered to overcome them.

This tale was an enjoyable read though like a soap opera jumps from scene to scene sometimes leaving you with out the vision of who was the subject until the 2nd or 3rd paragraph. The strength of one scene did not outweigh another but it did leave a slight confusion of what was the main focus of the story, though the blend of them fitted warmly together.

With a title of the novel of "Count to Ten" this phrase generally means, stop think and count to ten before you speak so you do not says things wrongly, but as the killer says this to one of his victims, it's Count to Ten before your world is switched off.

For me I had empathy for the killer due to his trouble past but opposed his actions even though his moral fibre put the pet out of the house before his destruction making you believe his actions were honourable. I wanted to read the struggle of him meeting his quest before the investigators unearthed his identity without the interruptions from the subplots but at the same juncture wanted his actions foiled before they began.

A good but not an overwhelming read. I will reach for another Karen Rose novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, 3 July 2007
By Claire Archibald "Horror Geek" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Count to Ten (Paperback)
Just finished this one and straight online to buy another of Ms Rose's thrilling and compelling reads!!!!

This book had the perfect mix of crime, thriller, romance (but not soppy-gripping!) and a solid background story to make you feel pain for the perpetrator just as much as you want to kill him yourself! Even with sensitive parts to the storyline (similar to Karin Slaughter), Rose doesn't go cheap and explain sordid details for sensationalism. She puts the right words in the right places without making you squirm uncomfortably but keeps you gasping on the edge of your seat (literally, the other bus passengers on the way to work each morning gave me a few funny looks!!!)and needing to read on whenever you get the chance. Mia and Reed are wonderful characters to love and respect and I can't wait for my next Rose adventure.

THE book for lying on the sofa with a glass or three of wine!

4.0 out of 5 stars A real-page turner, 1 Oct 2007
By V. Hallett "victor" (North Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Count to Ten (Paperback)


*There's a serial killer/arsonist at work in the Chicago area. A female cop and a male fire investigator are teamed up to investigate. The cat and mouse hunt that follows soon gets very messy indeed.

This book is a real page-turner, in spite of the fact that there are 660 of them to turn. As murder follows murder and fire follows fire the reader sees things from the point of view of the protagonists, seeing what goes right and what goes wrong for each of them.

It's a good mystery too, even though the killer is revealed about half-way through. That revelation doesn't clear up all the puzzles surrounding him and his victims. Nor does it answer all the questions about the earlier lives of the investigators, questions which don't make their working relationship any easier, nor smooth the path of their growing personal attraction.

As well as being a first-rate thriller this is also a book about the connections, good and bad, between children and adults, and about the strengths and weaknesses of families. It's a book with a man and a woman who each have their own demons to conquer, tracking down a coldly ruthless killer, one whose main weapon comes in the blisteringly hot form of aggravated, bomb-like fires. Once started this is a book that's not easy to put down.
