Summary: powerful romantic suspense
Comment: Former Viet Nam vet Dexter Whitlaw kept a book filled with secrets that he mails to his wife and daughter abandoned by him two decades ago. His daughter Karen, mourning the death of her mother, receives the package from her father, a person she prefers to forget exists. Rather than deal with him now, she buries the package amidst other possessions of her mother.
Meanwhile in New Orleans, someone kills Dexter and CIA agent Rick Medina who trailed after him. Police Detective Marc Chastain investigates the homicide of the John Doe street looking individual that he quickly learns is Dexter with a family living in Ohio. Upon learning that she is now officially an orphan, Karen goes to New Orleans to see to the remains of her father. However, his past written in the notebook contained in that package he sent to her leads from the Nam jungle to the congressional jungle with an unknown assailant trying to kill Karen. Only Marc keeps her alive though safe is another story as they uncover the truth of political power and love.
Already a highly regarded author, Linda Howard has written her best book to date with the incredibly exciting KILL AND TELL. The story line is fast-paced, filled with action, and very plausible due to a dynamite lead couple and a reliable believable support cast. Twists and turns aided by red herrings and cleverly drawn and placed clues lead to a wonderful reading experience. Suspense and romantic suspense fans will relish this powerful tale.

Summary: Interesting plot and........STEAMY!!!!!
Comment: I consider this book my favorite of Linda Howard's and find it woth reading more than once.
Karen's father's death and the introduction of his kill book adds the needed mystery to this book and although the reason for Karen's father's death is predictable once certain facts are revealed regarding the senator, it does not make the story less interesting.
BUT what really hold your attention and makes you keep turning those pages is Marc and his relationship with Karen, established early in the story. Once Marc discovers he's made a mistake in his judgement of Karen the sexual tension really picks up. His New Orleans charm and treatment of her is both gentlemanly and exciting. I especially enjoyed the early balcony scene at
Marc's home in the French Quarter. Lookinf for a sequel.
A must read if you like Linda Howard!

Summary: Lots of Political Intrigue....and suspense...
Comment: Not a real typical Linda Howard, by that I mean that I associate her books with very wierd twists and really scary killers. This was a very good story, but did lack the real weird aspects of her other works. But an enjoyable read that will keep you thinking...
~Karen Whitlaw is having a tough year. A good nurse and person, her mother suddenly dies and she is feeling lost and vulnerable when she gets a call from the New Orleans Police that her estranged father she hasn't seen since she was 13 has been murdered. Last she knew, her distant father was living on the streets and couldn't hold down a job. Who would murder a homeless man? The questions begin to mount and when she flies down to identify the body she is shocked to find the detective on the case, Marc Chastain, is gorgeous and seems to want her and want her badly!
Marc knows something is weird about the way the homeless man was killed on the streets of New Orleans and he needs to meet his estranged daughter to find out what it is about the man that has him thinking something is very wrong. Expecting to meet a cold and heartless woman, he is shocked to realize he wants the icy woman named Karen!
Both must keep their heads while they try to uncover truths about the murder and the man behind the homeless vet Karen had written off for almost 14 years! Who was he...really? Was he a crazed Vietnam vet living on the streets? Or was he hiding a treacherous and painful secret that drove him to abandon the family he loved more than life itself? What was he hiding that would cause someone to hunt a homeless man down like an animal and murder him? When the two find the truths behind the man and his deep secrets they find themselves targets...Karen also finds the love she never lost for the man she called father and must heal.
