"Great book. I am anxious to read the book that comes before this and the one that comes after. I won the book in the middle to read and it was sort of hard to pick up in the middle of the story but I quickly got the hang of it. A lot of twists, turns and surprises await. "

“Barton...leads readers through a maze of twisted suspense. While some answers are provided at the end, there is an unabashed hook that will force readers to read the next in this trilogy.”
— Romantic Times“The second ‘Dead’ thriller is a great romantic suspense that grips the audience from the moment the protagonists begin to learn of the assault on Powell and never lets go as the climax diabolically leads to the next unpublished tale. The lead pair is a terrific coupling…However, what makes Dead by Morning super is the serial killer, who will be considered one of the vilest of the year.”
— Mystery Gazette“The popular and dependable Barton has again created an intricately plotted, thoroughly engrossing serial killer tale that satisfactorily resolves the current dilemmas but leaves a stunning cliff-hanger.”
— Library Journal" Loved the main characters in this book and is a continuation of Beverly Barton's series. Love the very strong women characters and the suspense and romance in each of her books. Page turner definitely. "
— Kristin, 2/14/2014" This instalment was ok, but i did take me quite a while to get throught it, as i kept picking it up and putting it down, the last few chapters were good, think i'll have a little rest before i jump inot the next one though. "
— Clare, 2/13/2014" Fast paced murder mystery involving the Powell Security Agency. Second in the series can stand alone. "
— Cheryl, 2/11/2014" She is brilliant and keeps you guessing all the time. I have read everything by this author and have not been disappointed!!!! "
— Cathy, 2/9/2014" This was the second in a series and was a continuation of the first book but not a complete cliffhanger. This one however ended with a total cliffhanger at the end so you really need to read the 3rd book in the series. "
— Tami, 2/6/2014" great cant wait to read the last book "
— April, 1/19/2014" An enjoyable read which I steamed through and have already finished the final book in the series "
— Simon, 12/8/2013" agak kecewa dgn buku ini....plot ceritanya terlalu lambat..jadinya membosankan....... "
— £!M€¥, 11/22/2013" I really like this author. I just wish I had realized this was the second part of the trilogy, not the first. I don't feel like I missed anything though. "
— Ashley, 11/6/2013" There is no way I can write a review on this book at this time. Later, after I've come to grips with the loss of such a wonderful writer that I will miss. Her books were among my favorites. "
