About this ebook

The past comes back to haunt a high-profile defense attorney in the newest book in the Baltimore series from the New York Times bestselling author of Edge of Darkness and Monster in the Closet.

In his work as a defense attorney in Baltimore, Thorne has always been noble to a fault--specializing in helping young people in trouble just as someone did for him when he was younger. He plays the part of the bachelor well, but he secretly holds a flame for his best friend and business partner, Gwyn Weaver, a woman struggling to overcome her own demons. After four years, he thinks he might finally be ready to confess his feelings, come what may.

But his plans are derailed when he wakes up in bed with a dead woman--her blood on his hands and no recollection of how he got there. Whoever is trying to frame Thorne is about to lead him down the rabbit hole of his past, something he thought he had outran long ago. Thorne must figure out who has been digging into his secrets, how much they know, and how far they will go to bring him down . . .

Ratings and reviews

DEATH IS NOT ENOUGH is a dark suspense with intricate plot lines and layers upon layers of intrigue, lies, and explosive secrets. Just when you think you’ve figured out what’s going on, a new dynamic is discovered that turns the storyline upside down! Ms. Rose never disappoints with her compelling stories and character development. Her ability to create complex villains is quite deliberate and totally scary! The only issue I had with the book is that I didn’t feel any chemistry between Thorne and Gwyn. He came off as a jerk to me. Instead of telling Gwyn how he feels, he does some juvenile things that essentially ends up hurting Gwyn. Wasn’t a fan of the pairing. I felt they were better off as friends and business partners. I also had some trouble following the dialog when there were several characters in a scene. But that’s par for the course when there are a lot of characters in a book. Trigger warning: This book contains some scenes that may cause readers discomfort. If you have triggers from violent subject matter, this may not be the book for you. This is a chilling read that will capture your attention and hold it to the end. ***I voluntarily read a copy of the book generously provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Another epic novel from Karen. Absolutely worth the read!
