Don't Look Now: A Novel

Book Description

Defense attorney Clare Westbrook functions very well in crisis mode -- whether taking the media rap for an explosive case or bargaining with her teenaged niece, whom Clare is raising. But a shocking crime -- the murder of her notoriously unethical boss -- is about to test her heart and soul: heading the homicide investigation is irresistibly sexy detective Tony Sonterra. Now, a passion that is as risky as it is addictive pulls Clare into the crosshairs of a deadly mystery from the past. As the truth closes in and it becomes clear someone's targeting her, Clare and Tony embark on a twisting chase in the Arizona heat, where their dangerous desire sparks a determined hunt for a killer.

Download Description

"New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller turns up the heat in this sizzling tale of suspense and re-kindled passions set against the blazing skies of Arizona's lush desert landscape -- where a killer is determined to exact his revenge. When hard-working attorney Clare Westbrook learns that her ambulance-chasing boss has been murdered, she's shocked -- but not exactly surprised. Harvey Kredd was known for his less-than-ethical business dealings, and even his acts of generosity were tinged with greed; Clare, working at Kredd and Associates to pay off the law school loan Harvey had granted her several years before, knows she's got no choice: indentured servitude, twenty-first-century style. But Harvey's death doesn't let Clare out of her contract with the firm; instead it brings her a new, odious multimillionaire client, and Tony Sonterra, homicide detective and local heartthrob, who's not above using a murder investigation to get back into Clare's life. Jump-starting her affair with Tony is the last thing Clare needs -- she's got enough on her plate raising her niece, Emma, without throwing a bull-headed cop into the mix. Then Clare gets the news that may convince her Tony is exactly what she needs: Emma's father has been released from prison, and he's intent on seeing his daughter. Though she could never persuade the police to believe her, Clare is convinced that James Arren murdered her sister. With the same rich storytelling style that has captivated readers worldwide, Linda Lael Miller delivers a page-turning blend of heated passion and captivating suspense. "

First in the "Look" trilogy.......2007-02-15

Don't Look Now is the first book in the "Look" trilogy, but definitely not the best. It is however, a good example of how this author formulates her novels. There are always more than one story line going on which isn't bad when done properly, but it can also confuse the reader if they are not familiar with her style of writing.

Clare Westbrook is a good lawyer working for a sleezeball, who is suddenly found murdered. She has an on again/off again relationship with a sexy cop, but neither one seem to be able to stand one another more than to jump into bed together. On top of that, someone is trying to kill Clare. The only problem is that the killer is a bit stupid and doesn't seem to know the difference between what Clare looks like and the women ending up dead in her place.

There is definitely a great deal going on in this novel, and an avid reader can tell that Linda Lael Miller must be a Janet Evanovich fan. Not only does she write in first person as JE, but tends to create the same carry over with the characters romance. She just isn't as funny and the characters aren't as colorful.

The author is however, good with most of her facts. I picked up this book out of curiosity because it takes place in the Carefree/Cave Creek area of Arizona, where I grew up most of my life. I wanted to know how well the author really did know the area. Other than a few minor details, she was fairly accurate on most accounts. It was obvious though that she is new to the area, because someone living in Carefree would never admit to living in Cave Creek. The two social areas are on completely different scales. A few other misconceptions made it a little comical to me knowing the difference, but to the average reader they would never know the difference.

Is it worth buying?

I'm up in the air on this one. I actually like the second one better "Never Look Back", but you kind of have to read the first book to get a feel for the characters, and definitely before you read the conclusion "One Last Look." Alone, this book is not worth it, and honestly as a series it is only mediocre. The suspense is good though and as long as you can keep up with the plots, it is okay. Checking it out from the library or getting it on sale or at a yard sale is better than spending full price though. At least then, you won't be disappointed if you hate it.

Don't Look Back.......2005-11-27

I absolutely loved this book. I read it in 3 days. They way Linda Lael Miller is so descriptive without going overboard is great. This is the first of the 3 book series and I have already bought the second one "Never Look Back." And the 3rd one "One Last Look." I highly reccommend this series. I also like how hot Tony Sonterra is in the book.

MOVE OVER JANET EVANOVICH!.......2005-08-31

Picked this up in the mystery section of my local library. I though LLM was a mushy romance novelist = well, she broke out here! Tension, delicious sarcasm, repartee, hunk of a hero and Clare is an angst ridden heroine.

Several different side stories kind of keep you on your toes. Set in Arizona, this was not a boring book. Emma and Beatrice are great! Tony is awesome. It has a few laughs and a pretty darn good mystery - diverting enuf that I almost didnt catch the killer until the end.

Several lawyers (Clare for one) in this book. I work with a lot like them and can recognize that "innocent until proven guilty" is so hard a concept to accept sometimes.

Am looking forward to LLM's Never Look Back, if I can find it.

loved it !! for adult readers that can handle more than one plot.......2005-08-10

I thought it was a great entertaining read and look forward to future books. The book was not full of the same cliches as the other romance books with only one plot. I was reminded of the stephanie plum series by Janet Evanovich.

Somebody is Trying to Kill Her .......2005-07-31

Attorney Clare Westbrook got a loan from Harvey Kredd to go to law school, however, now that she's finished, she has to work it off with his firm at slave's wages. Then somebody puts a bullet through Harvey's eyes and Janet Baylen, Harvey's second in command, takes over running the firm. She hands Clare the Dr. Netherton Case. The Doctor is a non-caring, butchering plastic surgeon who is being sued by a number of woman who are less than happy with his work. Netherton, it seems, has a crush on Clare or at the very least, thinks she'll be easy as the firm is dependent on his money for its survival.

So, the professional side of her life has her down. How about the personal side? Years ago her sister vanished and Clare was convinced her husband James Arren killed her. She testified against him, he went to jail and now he's getting out. He's always clamed he was innocent and now he wants to get custody of his thirteen-year-old daughter Emma, who Clare has been raising. Clare doesn't want Arren to even see the girl, but Emma apparently doesn't believe he killed her mother.

Yes, it seems like Clare's life is pretty much not going the way she'd like, she's got the horrid doc to defend, any day she has to face the man she knows killed her sister and her niece is being difficult. Add to the mix ex-lover, cop Tony Sonterra, who is investigating the murder of Kredd, a man the cops all called Krudd, because he got so many crooks off. She'd thought Tony was out of her life and now he's very much in it and she's not happy about it at all.

But things can only get better, right? Wrong. Clare goes grocery shopping and finds a woman with a bullet between her eyes behind the wheel of her car when she leaves the store. Then boss Janet is killed when she's sitting at Clare's desk. Next she sees a photo of her vanished sister on her computer screen. She's obviously dead. So now Clare knows for sure, but who sent the picture?

My daughter is fascinated by Wegner's illustrations. So, given the categories that Amazon listed this book under, I bought her this for Christmas. She will be getting it in about 11 years from now. In Christmas 2017 when she is 13. The content fits in well with the Mad Magazine humor vein. Not what I was expecting from a Wegner children's book. There are definitely images you do NOT want a young child to be seeing. Images concerning Santa Claus and Jesus Christ. I enjoyed it, but it was not what I expected. This is not The Little Cat Baby.

Book Description

For 170 years they have met in secret. From out of their initiates come presidents, senators, judges, cabinet secretaries, and plenty of spooks. They are the titans of finance and industry and have now installed a third member as United States President George W. Bush. This intriguing behind-the-scenes look documents Yale's secretive society, the Order of the Skull and Bones, and its prominent members, numbering among them Tafts, Rockefellers, Pillsburys, and Bushes. Far from being a campus fraternity, the society is more concerned with the success of its members in the post-collegiate world. Included are a verified membership list, rare reprints of original Order materials revealing the interlocking power centers dominated by Bonesmen, and a peek inside the Tomb, their 140-year-old private clubhouse.

no wonder Mr Sutton was kicked out the country. We never should have let him in in the first place.

Revealing the Sources Behind Centruies of Human Suffering.......2007-01-04

America's Secret Establishment is worth reading. It reveals the true motives of policy makers in areas of economics, war, peace, and virtually every aspect of our lives. This book will provide the reader with a historical look at the institutions and persons responsible for major problems experienced today in America as well as other countries where their presence was identified. This book is not about a college fraternity, truthfully the fraternity is just one of many masks it wears.

Kerry vs. Bush the Fake Election Contest.......2006-03-17

This book is the history of the people who are currenty running the world. They are basically wealthy businessmen who belong to this elite Yale fraternity. They workied with Hitler against the Allies. They play by their own rules and use the CIA. The brotherhood of the bonesmen is sacred above all else. So in 2004, what did we have? Two bonesmen from elite Yale families. That may explain Mr. Kerry's lack of effort in fighting the election fraud. Read the book and you will be less surprised when the country breaks out in civil war between the classes.

A through academic look at a THE powerful and mysterious secret society.......2006-01-31

Sutton's book is a thorough academic treatment of America's most powerful and most mysterious secret society--the Order of Skull & Bones at Yale University. The book is very scientific in form--Sutton states hypotheses and then sets out to prove them with facts, some of drawn from secret membership lists, but most of them publicly available. Using this method, Sutton is "going to argue and present detailed precise evidence (including names, dates, and places) that the only reasonable explanation for recent history in the US is that there exists a conspiracy to use political power for ends which are inconsistent with the Constitution." Sutton's stance is that an order founded in 1832 has set out to conspire to control US policy for their own means, in an illegal, secret, conspiratorial manner.

Sutton reveals some fascinating information about the Order, such as the fact that 77% of all members are in law, education, business, finance, and industry, which are the key fields for control of society. The Church accounts for 2% of members. "Notably the areas of society least represented are those with the least ability to influence the structural direction of society. They may give dept and richness to society, but are not essential to its control and direction." Examples of such occupations include engineering, the arts, architecture, and agriculture.

Sutton's text is an exhaustive look at the membership rosters of the Skull & Bones. He goes above and beyond to tie members to US political events and the generations of influential members. Sutton does not delve into the scandalous secret rituals and the top-secret selection process for members; readers are referred to a sensationalist 1970's GQ magazine expose for such details.

The book concludes with a year-by-year membership roster, which was previously unheard of due to the oath members take to deny membership in the society at all costs. Sutton's text also includes a comprehensive index, as well as numerous visual aids in the form of hierarchical charts, a reprint of rare materials on the order, (limited) secret publications and logos, government memorandums, and more.

Sutton gets 5 stars for the resulting academic work, for his research, for his thorough methodology. As an armchair reader, this book is less than stellar, but then again, Sutton didn't set out to write a sensationalist Hollywood-style novel.

Hard to Read but Informative.......2005-09-13

This book tends to get boring as it is written for very high brown readers. If this author had been able to break it down for the average American to read, he would have had a more powerful text to share.

Baldacci Outdoes himself!.......2007-10-04

This is a don't miss book. Not only has Baldacci created a plot with such twists and turns as to make the reader absolutely giddy, he has created characters that are at once believable and quite amusing. This page-turner grabs the reader from the first paragraph and keeps the reader turning pages until the last word.

The Camel Club plods like one.......2007-09-22

Nobody loves a conspiracy theory more than me. But not this one. Mainly because its not a thriller so much as a thinly disguised attempt to tell us we really are the Great Satan, and that Americans would be better off with a Socialist government, and that peace is attainable only if we give half of our wealth to the Muslims of the world.

First, the book. It seems that there's a conspiracy within Homeland Security, and that only 4 or 5 well placed people there can actually dupe the whole multi-billion dollar system. Ok. I've had to suspend belief beyond this chidish assumption, so let's soldier on. Then, we plod along for almost 400 pages, where we learn the following:
1. The world's resources should be doled out equally to the world's inhabitants like a plate of Grandma's tasty pastries, because she'll never make another one, and that's the only fair thing to do.
2. Good decent Muslims only came to hate us because of Iraq.
3. But for the first two points, there would be peace in the middle east.
4. Mentally deranged geniuses and hobos can save the world, without telling anyone.
5. Our government officials, gloating over our superiority, are kept from raining nuclear weapons on the world without provocation only by the slimmest of fortuitous events.

Good lord.

The Camel Club has an unnecessarily confusing beginning, a tediously, plodding middle and finishes so abruptly and implausibly we're left with the impression Balducci either tired of writing or his editors forced him into a timeline.

In the last 100 pages, we're introduced to new characters of such malicious, evil stupidity that the whole book could have been written about them. Here they are only used to bring some strange and bizarre ending.

In the Camel Club, we give Balducci virtually 600 pages of our precious time to prove why Americans are at fault for 9/11 because we really are the Great Satan. He does a terrible job, and ends up revealing the argument for the tragic parody it really is.

I've tried to like David Balducci. I really have. But really, this guy gets rich doing this? Please. And in the middle of a war yet. What an insulting time to display his insidious and childish sermonizing.

First Book in the Camel Club Series.......2007-08-26

David Baldacci attended law school at the University of Virginia, and went on to work as a trial lawyer, and later as a corporate lawyer, in Washington, D.C. He is now a full-time writer whose best selling novels include Absolute Power, Total Control, The Winner, The Simple Truth and Saving Faith. He lives in Virginia with his wife and two children.

The Camel Club could not be said to have a blossoming membership, in fact four forgotten and exccentric people is the sum total of the clubs membership. It exists close to Washington, D.C., has no power as such. The goal of the members is to find the "truth" behind their country's actions.

The aging leader of the group has no known past (recorded that is) and has taken the name "Oliver Stone." Day and night this group of four study wild conspiracy theories, current events and the machinations of the government of the day, hoping to discover some truth that will hold America's politicians accountable to its citizens and after witnessing a shocking murder the Club is drawn headfirst into a plot that threatens the very security of the nation . . .

In the Camel Club the author paints a picture of the world that could be all too true in the future, with a few powerful people having the opportunity to stop the chaos.

Just curious..........2007-08-18

When Hemingway met with the man referred to as just the Arab in Frankfurt, were there any leftist talking points the Arab missed? I literally laughed when he said, "You have only 5% of the world's population but consume 25% of the energy." That was one of about twenty liberal talking points he managed to get out in about two pages. I felt embarrassed for the author after reading that exchange.

The Camel Club.......2007-08-09

Great characters - a story that spins and twist and is so well resolved in the end. I want to read about these four main charaters ("The Camel Club") again

Book Description

When his brief, passionate romance with nurse Jocelyn Banks is cut short by her kidnapping and brutal murder, young psychologist Jeremy Carrier is left emotionally devastated, haunted by his lover’s grisly demise and warily eyed by police still seeking a prime suspect in the unsolved slaying. To escape the pain, he buries himself in his work at City Central Hospital–only to be drawn deeper into a waking nightmare when more women turn up murdered in the same gruesome fashion as Jocelyn . . . and the suspicion surrounding Jeremy intensifies. Now, the only way to prove his innocence and put his torment to rest is to follow the deadly trail of a modern-day Jack the Ripper.

Download Description

Over the course of twenty acclaimed novels of suspense, most recently The Murder Book and A Cold Heart, New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman has pitted psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware against adversaries as disturbed and dangerous as Delaware is clever and compassionate. Now in Kellerman's gripping new novel, a different hero will hold the reader spellbound: a dedicated young psychologist, unschooled in the ways of violent crime and incalculable evil—until his life is irreversibly touched by both...and he is thrust into a chilling hunt for a twenty-first-century Jack the Ripper.

When his brief, passionate romance with nurse Jocelyn Banks is cut short by her kidnapping and brutal murder, Dr. Jeremy Carrier is left emotionally devastated, haunted by his lover's grisly demise and warily eyed by police still seeking a prime suspect in the unsolved slaying. To escape the pain, he buries himself in his work as staff psychologist at City Central Hospital—only to be drawn deeper into a waking nightmare when more women turn up murdered in the same gruesome fashion as Jocelyn Banks...and the suspicion surrounding Jeremy intensifies. Now, the only way to prove his innocence and put his torment to rest is to follow the trail of a cunning psychopath.

Spurring on Jeremy's investigation is Dr. Arthur Chess, an enigmatic pathologist who specializes in examining the dead, but harbors a keen fascination with the darker deeds committed by the living. Arthur draws Jeremy into an unexpected friendship, and into the confidence of a cryptic society devoted to matters unknown and unspoken. When he suddenly slips away, Jeremy is left to contend with an onslaught of anonymous clues—and the growing realization that a harrowing game of cat and mouse has been set in motion.

But who besides Jeremy is playing—and who is making the rules? Before the killer strikes again, Jeremy races to connect the disturbing puzzle pieces being fed to him. Yet his search for answers only seems to yield more questions. And deepening the mystery is the undeniable presence of someone watching it all—and guiding Jeremy's investigation from behind the scenes. As the game intensifies, Jeremy must decide if a secret ally is setting him on the right path...or a sadistic enemy is setting him up for a fate far beyond even the most twisted imagination.

Not a Good One at All!.......2007-08-09

This was perhaps the absolute worse Jonathan Kellerman going!
I have read at least two-thirds of his novels most of which are quite pleasing and entertaining, some more wierd than others...
Not good at all! Really!
At any rate, I agree completely ( as does my wife), who feels as did a recent reviewer; it would be incredibly fantastic to find that this novel was not something from his distant past, that was now thrown in for a quick hit....
It was formal, unlike any other of his novels, truly BORING X 10, and we barely got through it on a relaxing summer vacation.
Both of us felt it was just terrible at best! Rent it on audio book at the library, that way you can stand the horribly slow plot culminating in a relatively exciting (much needed) ending....

One trick pony-possible spoiler.......2007-06-26

Ok, I have only finished 2 J Kellerman books, this and "Twisted". They both have the same "solution" If I do read anymore of his I will have to watch out for the tricky sibling confusion thing. . . . again.

A Change of Pace for Kellerman.......2006-12-23

I really enjoy reading Jonathan Kellerman's novels, and THE CONSPIRACY CLUB was no different. This novel, however, does not feature Dr. Alex Delaware, the protagonist of most of Kellerman's books. It is instead a standalone novel featuring a much younger (and troubled) protagonist, 32-year old Dr. Jason Carrier.

This novel is much slower paced than the Delaware books, and takes a long time to get started. The "mystery" in this book is also impossible to solve because Kellerman withholds key information until the last minute. So if you're looking for a tightly written plot that plays fair with the reader, you may be dissatisfied with THE CONSPIRACY CLUB.

Still, this novel is fun because Kellerman's writing is so good. I found the dialogue and descriptions in THE CONSPIRACY CLUB to be first-rate. Most of the characters in this book strike me as real people, flawed but decent. The romantic relationship that develops in this book is very well done. The descriptions of the day-to-day routine of a psychologist at a large hospital are fascinating to read and sound true-to-life.

This novel doesn't entirely work as a thriller, but I enjoyed it for what it was. If you like Kellerman's style of writing, THE CONSPIRACY CLUB is a good choice. I give him credit for trying something different. On the other hand, if you're trying Kellerman for the first time, I would recommend his early Alex Delaware books instead, because they are much more exciting and fast-paced.

Three and a half stars.

Starts slow but ends with an unexpected bang.......2006-12-17

Jonathan Kellerman has been one of my favorite authors for years, particularly the Alex Delaware novels. This - non-Delaware novel - starts slow but delivers in the end. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because of the slow beginning. I even put it down a time or two thinking I'd never get where he was going, but I'm glad I persisted. It turned out to be very well worth it. This is an old fashioned cerebral murder mystery with our hero and amateur sleuth the psychologist doctor lover of the first victim. Eh? Got the hairs standing up? He is befriended (in an odd circumscribed manner) by an older pathologist who invites him to dinner with friends one evening. As the murders continue our hero begins receiving obscure clues - and he's not sure who to ascribe them to. This is a well plotted, very satisfying read if you can make it through the - sorry - slow beginning. Kellerman reveals a whole new side to his writing abilities in this deeply thoughtful mystery. Loved it!!

Reads like a British mystery .......2006-12-04

Thus you should like it or dislike it depending on whether or not you enjoy psychological, steady-paced, well-plotted mysteries, such as those by P.D. James and Ruth Rendell (aka Barbara Vine). People who want a speedy, thrilling, more violent page turner like the Alex Delaware books, may be in for a disappointment (which I believe is reflected in many comments here). I do like the Delaware books (though I confess my favorite characters are Milo Sturgis and the city of Los Angeles; I find Dr. Delaware often whiny and Robin a total you-know-what -- and I'm female), but I liked this one as well. It's just different, that's all. To me the central mystery wasn't about the serial killer, it was about the Conspiracy Club, and whether or not they were actually steering the psychologist protagonist, or perhaps he instead is losing it emotionally and mentally. Is he being persecuted by the police, set up by the Club (for good or ill), set up by the killer, or just insane? The medical references, often involving cancers, surgeries, and serious activities (Tumor Boards, the Morbidity and Mortality Boards, etc.) to me added an ominous, building sense of inexorable tension to the atmosphere of the story. Very finely done. I couldn't wait to see what happened...the best recommendation for any story. If you're looking for a roller coaster thrill ride, however, you should probably wait for another Delaware book.

Book Description

The occult sciences have attracted followers and fascinated observers since the middle ages. Beyond Enlightenment examines the social, political, and metaphysical doctrines of Martinism, a French occultist movement and offshoot of Freemasonry that flourished from the late eighteenth century to the dawn of the twentieth century. The French Revolution and the disorder that followed it convinced Martinists that modern society was on the wrong path. For guidance they looked back not to the corrupt Old Regime but rather to a lost golden age of mankind that existed only in their imagination. The Martinists were closely engaged in the political events of their times, and rightly or wrongly, they earned a reputation for secret intrigue and ubiquitous hidden influence.

David Allen Harvey focuses on the Martinists themselves, recreating their own social and political views. He traces the birth of Martinism during the Enlightenment, its revival in the fin de siècle, and the late nineteenth-century formation of a distinctly Martinist project-the synarchy-aimed at the social and political renewal of France and the greater world. The Martinist doctrines formed a unique synthesis of Enlightenment and counter-Enlightenment thought. Harvey maintains that Martinists were a peaceful, esoteric society that rejected both secular materialism and dogmatic Catholicism, seeking to reveal the hand of Providence in history, discover divinely inspired laws of social and political organizations, and enact the kingdom of heaven on earth.

Seeking to explore and analyze the "irrational" side of the "Age of Reason," Beyond Enlightenment is a welcome addition to recent studies of esoteric movements. Historians of culture, religion, and politics in post-Revolutionary France, as well as historians of esotericism and alternative religions will be interested in this engaging and revealing study.
