Quarter to Midnight: the thrilling first book in a brand new series from the bestselling author

Product Information

Beginning with Chicago, her city-by-city approach has seen her set multiple novels in places she both loves (New Orleans and Minneapolis), as well as places she’s lived (Baltimore and Cincinnati). But while the case is heating up, the family of the investigator himself becomes part of the ongoing investigation. When I started to read Quarter to Midnight, it was quickly obvious that this mystery will have lots of characters to keep track of but also criminals who murder people to hide their shady deals. Sparks fly as they follow the leads Gabe’s dad left them, unraveling a web of crimes, corruption, and murder that runs all the way to the top. But when his father’s death is ruled a suicide after a deliberately botched investigation by his former captain, Gabe knows his dad stumbled onto a truth that someone wants silenced.

Axelrod's richly complex characters and her authentic world of up-and-coming musicians deliver a truly captivating read. A former high school teacher of chemistry and physics, Karen lives in Florida with her husband of more than twenty years, her two daughters, two dogs, and a cat. What I really love to do is create a villain who has a really beautiful face, that no one is going to suspect. While I found this book to be decent overall, I tend to hold thrillers to a higher standard, expecting jaw-dropping moments and compelling plot twists. The incredible work of this brilliant author is destined to inspire new styles while also leading many imitators to follow in her footsteps.Unfortunately, he got too close and now Gabe is trying to connect the dots of his father’s investigation without dying or getting anyone else killed.

In all his years in the Chicago Fire Department, Lieutenant Reed Solliday has never experienced anything like this recent outbreak of house fires--devastating, vicious, and, in one case, homicidal. The constant shift in POVs made it challenging to fully connect with the characters, diminishing my overall experience. She met her husband, Martin, on a blind date when they were seventeen and after they both graduated from the University of Maryland, (Karen with a degree in Chemical Engineering) they moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Gabe doesn't believe his father took his own life and was murdered as a result of something he was working on.As they get closer and closer to the truth, they realise that the killer is not going to stop at Rocky. Author Karen Rose is known for her long intricate stories and at over six hundred pages, Quarter To Midnight holds true to form. Gabe is a minor celebrity chef, who, like many in his profession, is a bit of a hothead, but his caring nature shines through. The plot is full of chasing down leads and interviewing people as well as plenty of danger for those involved. Molly Sutton has moved to New Orleans, Louisiana and taken a job with her former Marine Commanding Officer Burke Broussard, who had left the New Orleans police department and set up a private investigator office.
