Die For Me

by Karen Rose

Book of the Month: January 2008

DIE FOR ME is the story of Vito Ciccotelli, a Philadelphia homicide detective.

Vito is called to the scene of a single grave in an isolated snowy field and suspects there might be even more graves beneath the snow. He enlists the aid of archeologist Sophie Johannsen to map the field - and they find a 4x4 matrix of graves, dug with military precision.

Nearly half the graves are still empty - the killer isn't finished yet. As Vito investigates, he finds Sophie's expertise in medieval weapons and warfare to be even more valuable than the map she's generated. The villain is an artist who is fascinated with capturing the moment of death.

His life goal is to have his art viewed by millions - and the fastest way to do that is by converting his death art into a video game where the murder seems all too real - because it is real.

I,ve never read Karen Rose before, but after this I would definately read her other books. Die For Me is a great thriller with lots of twists and you really get to know and feel for the characters. Even though it keeps swapping to different characters, it was an easy read. Would definately recommend this.
