Okay, guys, today's the day . . . (& a new review!)
It's official -- The Assassin is available, so get to a bookstore and buy a copy or two. Make my day. ;-)For fun this morning (and to put off working!), I googled the title and found this latest review from Road to Romance at http://www.roadtoromance.ca/reviews0503/reviewassassin.htm:
Beautifully interweaving sensuality with suspense, and with a strong, well-developed character cast, the book is almost impossible to put down till the end . . . Relentless tension, a truly nasty villain, and a strong secondary cast of characters further add to this novel's charm. On a side topic, Butler also touchingly depicts the mental and emotional toil Alzhiemer's disease has, not just on the person suffering but also the family members. With a strong premise and a complex cast of characters, "The Assassin" trumpets the beginning of a new must-read romantic suspense series. -- Rashni Srinivas
Many thanks, Rashni! I'm blushing again!
I find it interesting that the book's been categorized just about every way it can be. Some sites listed on Google show it as romance, some as romantic suspense. Some show it as a mystery, some as a thriller, and I've already mentioned that my friend found it shelved in fiction. In my oh-so-humble opinion (not!), I prefer to think this means it offers something for everyone.
So give it a shot and prove me right. (Or wrong . . . hey, there's a first time for everything!)
