Not-so-light reading

Ladies and germs, I have found a suspense author who's published nine books in six years; all of them will keep you up too late at night. Most of them are at least tangentially connected but all of them can stand alone, and they're all psychological thrillers of the first order. Karen Rose plots well and creates interesting characters. There's a pretty high body count in some of these, but it's not particularly gratuitous; the murders make sense to the murderer and the reader. They're not short: 450-500 pages, but they're twisty and hold the reader's interest (or this reader's, anyway). Most of them take place in the Carolinas or in Chicago.

Hie thee off to your bookstore or library. You won't be sorry.
