Karen Rose opened her first book, Don't Tell, by painting a graphic picture of hopelessness.   To the Asheville General doctors looking after Mary Grace, it looks like the Asheville, North Carolina Police Officer, Rob Winters, is solicitously kissing his wife's severely bruised and battered face.   Only Mary Grace knows that he is whispering threatening words in her ear.

Nine years later, a journey featuring multiple locales and characters begins.   Have a friend who hates this style of writing -- the process of hop-skipping between characters and locations, but Rose weaves the various threads of this plot line so seamlessly, that the jump between characters and locales works beautifully to build suspense and reveal incredible amounts of information in a fascinating manner.

Not that we would be tempted to feel compassion for the wife battering police officer, nevertheless, Rose cleverly and subtly removes any essence of warmth from this character by addressing him as "Winters" juxtaposed against addressing every other character by their first name.   Thankfully, readers do not have to spend massive amounts of time in the mind of Winters as he brutalizes information from witnesses and bemoans his fate to be surrounded by stupid women (because, after all, he has yet to encounter a woman who isn't lacking in intellect and needs a firm fist to give them direction).

When Winters' commanding officer, Lieutenant Antoinette "Toni" Ross (not only a woman, but a stupid black woman who stole his job), informs him that the car his wife and son disappeared in seven years ago has been pulled from Douglas Lake (East Tennessee), a chain of events occurs to set Winters on the path to finding (and exacting retribution) on the people who took his son from him.   One link of that chain is that Toni Ross calls in an unbiased officer, "not connected to Asheville PD" to investigate the potentially politically disastrous investigation of a police officer who could be responsible for killing his wife and son seven years ago.

The magic that is Karen Rose is that she takes this dark and nightmarish situation and shines a light of humor into the plot by giving her characters rich well-developed personalities.   Rose does not have to describe the attributes her characters possess because they are richly portrayed by the dialogues that ensue and the thought processes they exhibit.

One such magical secondary character is Special Agent Steven Thatcher of the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.   Steven is sent to Asheville to work with Toni to reopen the cold case on the disappearance of Mary Grace and Robbie Winters.   As Steven (widower with three sons) agrees to go on another blind date set up for him by Aunt Helen only because the girl's father has a marvelous fishing boat, the stage is set for readers to be inundated with the passions in Steven's life -- his sons and fishing.   But what makes Steven such a wonderful addition to the cast is the snarky thoughts that pepper the investigation.

A great example of Rose's humor can be found when Steven is hostilely greeted by Detective Ben Jolley (friend and cohort to Winters) upon entering detectives row at the Asheville Police Department.

. . . This was more than a hostile glance, and more than Steven had expected.   "You might as well turn around and head back to wherever you crawled here from."

"Steven drew a deep breath, rapidly concluding it would be unwise to tell Jolley he'd ended a sentence with a preposition." (page 77)

Rose writes such great supporting characters, that even the ones that play minor roles are memorable.   Quiet, intriguing ones such as golden-boy Detective Jonathan Lambert who is assigned to the Winters case.   Bruised, scared and battered ones, such as Sue Ann Broughton, Winters' current live-in punching bag.

Meanwhile, way off in Chicago . . .

Steven's irreverence is matched by heroine Caroline Stewart (ex-Mary Grace) and her best friend and rescuer, Dana Dupinsky, manager of Hanover House, the safe house Caroline and Tom (ex-Robbie) fled to seven years ago.   We meet Caroline, Dana and Tom as they talk about the death of Caroline's boss, friend and mentor, Eli Bradford, and wonder what her new boss, history professor, Dr. Maximilian Alexander Hunter will be like.   The dialogue is realistic as they share girl talk and smart aleck remarks, yet they obviously share a strong emotional connection full of compassion.

Dana:   "You'll be fine."
              Caroline glared mildly from the corner of her eye.   "You always say that."
Dana:   "I'm always right."
              Caroline smiled.   "You're such a fathead."
Dana:   "But I'm a fathead who's right." (page 16)

The humor doesn't stop there.   Caroline is thrown for a loop because Max is a gorgeous specimen of hunkiness.   For the first time in her life, Caroline is attracted to a man.   Thankfully she notices that the interest is mutual.   Yet, insecurities abound when Max fails to walk Caroline back to the office after he teaches class "chatting it up with the two voluptuous beauties that sat in the front row, hanging on his every word.   Missi and Stephie." . . .   But the piece de la resistance is:

"And they got decent grades to boot.   They didn't even have the decency to be stupid blond bimbos that would flunk out and be forced to marry men fifty years their senior." (page 74)

The darkness and light has been introduced into the book, now for the romance and emotional angst.   Naturally, Caroline is going to have serious relationship issues because she has lived with a man who battered her on a regular basis until she was able to escape.   However, Caroline is not the only star who suffers from serious emotional trauma.

Even though he is a gorgeous hunk of man who easily attracts women, Max, returned to Chicago (and his family roots) after fleeing to Denver twelve years ago when he lost the ability to walk in a serious car accident with his father.   Because Max had such a wonderful, loving, supportive family, he could now walk, but he was embarrassed by the scars the accident left and by the fact that he had to use a cane to walk.

Max's best friend and brother, David, played an instrumental role in Max's recovery.   David is another supporting character that is hilarious, compassionate, and adds great depth to the development of Max's character.   Just as Caroline uses Dana as a sounding board to exchange witty and profound dialogue, so Max has David to keep him on the straight and narrow.   It is absolutely impossible to read the scene when David saves Max and Caroline from their barracuda co-worker, history professor, Monika Shaw, without laughing out loud.

Max and Caroline are engaged in a fast and furious romance (he asks her out to dinner one day after meeting her).   It is a good thing that Max and Caroline don't mess around with a long courtship because they have enough other issues hanging over their heads to put knots in the threads of the tapestry of their happily-ever-after.   Thankfully, Max and Caroline quickly fall in love so they can engage in a hot, spicy, emotional, magic lovemaking session before the intense action and intrigue of the story takes over completely.

One knot in the way of a happily-ever-after is Caroline's "too wise for his years" fourteen-year-old son, Tom.   Tom (another well-developed supporting character) does not trust men and is understandably worried about any man becoming involved in the life of his mother, particularly one who will have to be told their deep, dark secrets should his mother fall in love.   Tom is such an amazing character.   He acts like a boy one minute and a man the next.   Can not wait for him to age so he can have his own book.

Several other knots in the tapestry involve the obvious angst in the lives of the hero (scars and cane) and heroine (scars and battered wife syndrome).   Max had two other serious emotional barriers he had to overcome to became the supportive man Caroline needed in her life.   Likewise, Caroline had two more emotional issues hiding in the background to eventually spring on readers with even more angst than we could imagine.   Could not believe how much emotional trauma Rose can throw into one book.

To conclude, Don't Tell, is a must read for Romantic Suspense readers who like: {1} an amazingly strong heroine; {2} a hunky, flawed, but eventually comes to the rescue hero; {3} emotional and physical attraction between protagonists followed by spicy, heated love scenes; {4} suspense so intense that must jump up from chair and pace before can keep reading; {5} plenty of police procedural action as secondary characters try to catch the villain; {6} awesomely wonderful well-written and well-developed supporting characters; {7} realistic, funny, emotionally engaging dialogue; {8} great guffaws of laughter; and {9} copious tears.   Not only is Don't Tell on my "to be re-read list," but it is already stored in the suitcase that contains the books that must end up on the imaginary deserted island that "Obsessive Readers Only" know about.

Okay, if you insist.   Found one little thing that was not perfect about this book.   On pages 224 and 226, the dates were wrong.   Certainly not worth deducting points -- it could be the typist's fault.

Don't Tell Quotations:

73	. . .   She didn't like this.   Not one little bit.   The whole man-woman-seek-and-chase thing was highly overrated.   . . .
73	. . .   she wished she'd gone another few years without knowing exactly what she'd been missing.   It was primitive.   She shuddered and squeezed her legs together. Mercy.
82	. . .   He wanted a woman, the right woman, to revolve her life around him, or at least he wanted to be the center of her thoughts.   Of her heart.   He'd wanted to be the center of a woman's heart for a long time.   It was no deeply hidden secret, at least from himself.   He wanted someone to care for him, to listen to him.   To look at him with unmitigated desire in her eyes.   . . .
189	. . .   It was something small he remembered his own father doing.   Undivided attention and unbroken eye contact even with the smallest child.   It had made him feel like he was the smartest, most important boy in the world.   . . .
249	. . .   the bitterness had become a close, if not hated, bedfellow.   Twelve years of anguish was a hard thing to simply erase.   He'd tried.   . . .
295	She pressed the fingertips of her free hand to her cheek, feeling the rush of heat.   Mercy.   The man could melt her into a puddle of goo with just his voice.   . . .
335	. . .   Depression that eats at you until you wish you were dead. . . .
338	. . .   it was an incredible shock to a man like him -- a man whose parents had loved one another and their children openly and without restraint.   . . .
