The Chosen

What can I say? I loved the plot. In fact, it was the only reason I persevered through the horrible, archaic dialogue. I felt like I was trapped in a bad film noir.

Romantic suspense that was OK without being great. We have a journalist and a homicide detective who are interested in each other and a rather strange religious fanatic who ends up killing some of those he thinks he is saving. I generally prefer her books written as Dinah McCall and my all time favorite by her is Jackson Rule.

One man murdered. One more dug from his grave. Twelve others missing. This is no coincidence.

Respected Washington, D.C., journalist January DeLena is positive the threads of each victim's disapperance are intertwined. But who's behind these horrific crimes? All signs point to the man who calls himself The Sinner - a disturbed homeless man trawling the streets of the nation's capital luring victims into his fanatical world of salvation and redemption.

January can't keep her suspicions private. And soon she's got the ear - and the interest - of homicide detective Benjamin North. But January has a secret. One that places her directly in the path of the twisted, self-proclaimed messiah's rage. Suddenly, getting this story has January and show more Benjamin headed to hell and back. show less

A bit too romantic for me but very well written

Good story, enjoyed the lead characters. Good ending.
