This book was hard to put down, and I look forward to the sequel.

This is not your typical mystery--whodunnit--type novel. And this author doesn't get into a lot of romance either. But even though I pretty much could read between the lines early on about the romance part because, well, let's face, any time a good looking FBI "hunk" is staying with a beautiful woman, we all know what to expect. That's life in the writing world, or so I think. But the story flowed well and kept you wondering when the killer was going to strike next and if he was going to find Mara. This is my first novel to read for this writer. My buddy at the book store put me on to this author, telling me I had to read the trilogy on this one. So I've just finished DEAD WRONG and now I'm getting ready to read DEAD CERTAIN. I love a good mystery read where I have to figure out who the bad guy is. In Dead Wrong, we already know who the bad guy is, and that makes this book a little different. Instead of trying to figure out "who", you're trying to figure out "what" he's going to do next. The plot was good, the characters were strong and the story flowed very well. Spike, the dog, even added to it. I recommend this one and I'm looking forward to the next two, Dead Certain and Dead Even. Mariah Stewart has a lot of talent. I'll be watching for her next published novels.
