The writing is fluid and descriptive which helped me envision the scenes without disrupting or slowing the flow. Overall, this was intriguing, entertaining, suspenseful, and had an action packed ending with compelling characters that kept me turning the pages.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2442 comments Here is my 4.61 rounded to 5 stars review of Cold-Blooded Liar Cold-Blooded Liar (Romantic Suspense #27; San Diego #1) by Karen Rose by Karen Rose:

/review/show...

Karen Rose knows how to hook readers with a prologue and keep them engaged throughout a novel. Cold-Blooded Liar , the first book in her San Diego Case Files series, is no different. It combines a police procedural with some amateur sleuthing and a hint of romantic suspense.
