Karen Rose is one of my favorite authors. Her novels are very suspenseful and chilling. You have to be in the mood to read one of her stories. They grip you from beginning to end.

Back cover: Terror has forever changed the life of psychiatrist Tess Ciccotelli. Someone is tormenting her patients, pushing them to commit suicide, and setting her up to take the blame. But Tess can't break her oath to protect her patients' privacy at all costs. Even when detective Aidan Reagan demands a list of everyone she's treating. Even when the mounting damage threatens Tess herself. Aidan doesn't like anyone who stalls his cases. Still, he can't help but admire Tess's fierce loyalty to her patients, especially when it becomes clear that a nameless, faceless enemy is set on destroying her career, her family, and, finally, Tess herself. As Aidan's heart softens, the killer's will hardens, and one thing becomes clear---the noose is tightening around Tess's neck.

Tess receives a call in the middle of the night supposedly from one of her patient's neighbors saying her patient is about to kill herself by jumping off a balcony. She gets there too late, not realizing her patient is already dead. The police think she is responsible for her patient's death. Tess's fingerprints are found all over the place, including some prescription pill bottles. However, Tess has never been to her patient's home. Someone is trying to set Tess up, but for what.

As more patients die, supposedly by her hand, Tess fights for her life. She starts to work side by side with Aidan, the detective who hates her for declaring a murderer of a young child, insane and incompent to stand trial. Aidan had been the one to discover the child and Tess's actions in court years before angered him. Little does he know what she has suffered since that time. Aidan begins to discover the truth about Tess and begins to believe in her innocence.

I can't write anymore without giving away spoilers about the book. You Can't Hide is very suspenseful, because you just don't know who is stalking Tess and setting her up. Is it a current or former patient, an enemy from the police force, a friend or someone she loves? You'll be kept guessing until the very end. Highly recommended.

Karen Rose is one of the BEST romantic suspense writers!
From Amazon: "...Doctor Tess Ciccotelli is a psychiatrist and when her troubled patients begin to die in suspect ways the police think she may be the killer. When detective Aidan Reagan and his partner Todd Murphy catch her case Aidan is quick to judge the one woman he feels allowed a monster to escape his punishment. Tess knows she's going to have to cooperate with the police she only wishes she didn't see Aidan as a man, a man who makes her want a the security of his arms.

Aidan Reagan is prepared to hate Tess for her role in allowing a murdering monster to escape standing trial. He is convinced she is the enemy. But, when the murders of her patients begin to climb and she is ruined and her friends an family are in danger he realizes that he is wrong about Tess. She cares and despite his best effort he finds out so does he. He now needs to find a killer who wants Tess dead before he looses the one person he'll ever love.

Ms. Rose has done it again. She is one talented writer who can draw out a suspense read to the final spine chilling end. It was fun to re-visit with Abe, Kristen, and the rest of the Reagan family. Aidan and Tess are compelling characters and the nightmare Ms. Rose creates for them is top drawer. This is one author I highly recommend." ( )
