No One Heard Her Scream

Detective Rebecca Montgomery is haunted by her sister's disappearance and the subsequent disappearance of two other young women. The discovery of the skeletal remains of yet another woman in the walls of a burnt-down theater propels Rebecca into a series of brutal cases. Romance rears its head in the form of Diego Galvan, who seems to be on the side of the villains, but whom is he really working for? Marguerite Gavin narrates this romantic suspense with a performance that matches the writing--emotional, dramatic, and sexy. Each character is well voiced and believable, and she narrates with a varied tempo to keep the listener's attention. This will be enjoyed by fans of the genre. S.S.R.

In a dynamite debut from Dane, San Antonio Det. Rebecca Montgomery fears the worst when her little sister, Danielle, is abducted during summer break on the Texas Gulf’s South Padre Island. Five months later, the discovery of a crime scene saturated with Dani’s blood indicates she’s been murdered. As more college co-eds go missing, Becca wants to stay on the case, but the department hands her a puzzler involving a young woman’s remains found within a wall of the torched Imperial Theater. They belong to Isabel Marquez, who’s been missing for almost seven years. Becca finds a surprising ally, and mutual attraction, in Diego Galvan, who works for slimy Hunter Cavanaugh, former owner of the Imperial and a prime suspect. Dane’s smooth style, believable characters and intense pacing will remind readers of Lisa Jackson, Lisa Gardner and Tami Hoag. While Dane’s debut is being marketed as romantic suspense, it crosses over into plain thriller country: the tight plotting and the male characters are exceptional, bad guys and good.
