Beware--this book will tie you to a chair with suspense!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Martha quickly involves her readers emotionally with a tense plot involving a missing child. She stokes the fire of fear slowly, until you suddenly find yourself sneaking a paragraph at stop lights, long lines and telephone conversations. I am looking forward to the next novel from this writer.
If you like Mary Higgins Clark--you'll love Martha Powers!

Martha Powers writes clean, powerful prose. She'll have you flicking on the lights and locking your doors as you rip through the final pages. A suspense novel is only as good as the build up, both of plot and characters, and Powers delivers.
EXCELLENT!!

Maggie, a single mom after the death of her husband, and her son Jake relocate to her husband's home town where she buys a book store and lives above it. There is murder and lots of suspense in this story. The very young boy, Tyler, who was a kidnap victim of The Warrior made my heart cry. He was reduced to a basic survivalist at such a young, tender age. Maggie didn't know who to trust and there are no clues while reading this book to let you know who Maggie can trust. But at the end, the odd, twisted and demented kidnapper will surprise you. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you guessing. Very, very good story. The small town group of friends and poker buddies gives this story the "very real, I'm glad I met these people" feeling.Wonderful book and author. It will keep you interested and involved til the end.
GREAT READ!

Martha Powers' book grips you from beginning to end. You instantly relate to Maggie's fears, vulnerabilities and inner strength. Tyler captures your heart from the start and you root for his little broken spirit throughout the entire book. A highly entertaining read that makes you wonder who is lurking in your own neighborhood.

He carries an Everest load of guilt deep inside his gut. Grant Holbrook was too bored to watch his two and half-year-old nephew Tyler while his sister Beverly McKenzie went to the mall. Beverly took her son with her, but in the blink of an eye, the child was gone. Two and a half years later, Tyler remains missing.At the Renaissance Fair in Delbrook, Wisconsin, Maggie Collier and her son Jake take plenty of pictures. Jake's grampa George had the film developed. He recognizes Tyler in the pictures and calls Grant, who immediately travels to Delbrook. However, before Grant arrives, someone kills George and steals the photos. Grant and Maggie exchange stories and begin to work close together to uncover the identity of a killer-kidnapper before someone else is hurt.Martha Powers tells a grand story that brings fresh life through her deep characters to the lurking monster in human clothing thriller. BLEEDING HEART is a realistic, grim tale that could happen to any small child in any state when an organized, intelligent, but amoral warrior seeks its prey. Once started, there is no helper to stop every mother's worse nightmare from coming true as Martha Power's plot powerfully paints.Harriet Klausner
