Shades of Scarlet

Wow - am I thankful somebody accidently placed this book on the mystery shelf at my local library. As a mystery buff, I can tell you that Linda Fallon outdoes many of my favorite authors as far as suspense goes. The romantic element was on-target. In fact, I was up until 3:00 a.m. the other night finishing Shades of Scarlet. Now that I know it's a series, I'll definitely buy the other books.

I first found this author's books by accident, thinking that they were horror books. I was surprised to learn that this was actually "romance" book. But the ghost stories are very interesting and very well told. It's probably a better ghost story than most horror books. It doesn't try to be too complicated, and it's easy to read. Let's just say that after reading the first two, I was excited to find that she had written a third. I was still, however, a little embarrased to ask for the book in the "romance" section.
