A homicide detective in the dark. A serial killer on the loose. Both have their obsessions in a nerve-twisting novel of suspense by New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton.

Austin homicide detective Jordan Poe is hunting a serial killer she fears is the same man who assaulted her sister, Avery, two years ago. The details line up: the victims are the same age, same type, dead by the same grim MO. Luckily Avery survived. But the terrible memories linger, making Jordan more determined than ever to stop this monster in his tracks.

Texas Ranger Carter Spencer isn’t one to poach on a detective’s territory. Yet no matter how resentful a capable lone wolf like Jordan is, when she is attacked at a third crime scene and suffers a trauma that leaves her with limited vision, it’s up to Carter to help Jordan navigate a world she no longer recognizes. He needs her instinct, her experience, and her fearless resolve to crack this case. A case that’s about to get even darker.

A stranger is watching. He’s closing in on his ultimate prey. And no one but the killer can see what’s coming.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mary Burton loves writing suspense, researching law enforcement and forensic procedures, morning walks, baking, books, and tiny dachshunds. She also enjoys hunting down serial killers, which she does in her New York Times and USA Today bestselling novels of suspense and romance. Library Journal has compared her work to that of Lisa Jackson and Lisa Gardner, and Fresh Fiction likened her writing to that of James Patterson.

Mary is routinely featured among the top twenty writers in Amazon’s Author Rankings for romantic suspense, and her recent novel The Last Move claimed the number ten fiction slot in the Kindle eBooks Store.

Research is a favorite part of Mary’s day. She never tires of learning more about police work, evidence collection and analysis. She’s known for taking a hands-on approach, whether it means interviews with professionals in the field, forensic seminars or lessons at the firing range.

A Richmond native, Mary has lived there for most of her life. She is a graduate of Virginia’s Hollins University and worked in marketing before she began writing full time. Her first book was published in 2000 and she’s now the author of thirty-four published novels, five novellas and four works of contemporary women’s fiction written as Mary Ellen Taylor.

A member of International Thriller Writers, Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, Novelists, Inc., and Romance Writers of America, Mary is known for creating multiple suspense stories connected by characters, such as her recent The Forgotten Files novels. Her new book, Her Last Word, and The Last Move, break that mold.

When not traveling for research or visiting with readers at bookstores, book festivals and conferences, Mary remains very much a homebody. She and her husband spend time alternately enjoying and lamenting their empty nest and spoiling their four-legged babies Buddy, Bella and Tiki.

Mary Burton's "Don't Look Now" is a gripping and pulse-pounding thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. With its well-crafted characters, intricate plot, and relentless suspense, this novel is a must-read for fans of the genre.

In "Don't Look Now," we are introduced to the tenacious and determined protagonist, Virginia State Trooper Riley Tatum. Haunted by her past, Riley becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse when she stumbles upon the aftermath of a serial killer's latest victim. As the body count rises, Riley finds herself teaming up with the enigmatic FBI agent, Clay Bowman, to catch the sadistic killer before he strikes again.

Burton excels at creating multi-dimensional characters that feel authentic and relatable. Riley is a strong and resilient heroine who carries the weight of her past experiences, driving her to seek justice for the victims. Clay, on the other hand, is a complex and intriguing character, balancing his professional obligations with personal demons. Their dynamic and chemistry add depth to the story and keep the readers invested in their journey.

The plot of "Don't Look Now" is skillfully crafted, with Burton expertly weaving together suspense, mystery, and romance. The pacing is relentless, as each chapter ends with a cliffhanger, leaving readers eager to uncover the next twist.

Burton masterfully creates an atmosphere of tension and fear, immersing readers in the dark and dangerous world of the investigation. The twists and turns throughout the story are unexpected and keep the plot engaging, providing a satisfying resolution that ties up loose ends.

One aspect that sets "Don't Look Now" apart is Burton's ability to balance the thriller elements with a touch of romance. The growing connection between Riley and Clay adds another layer of complexity to the story, giving readers a break from the intensity of the investigation while still maintaining the overall suspense.

Mary Burton's writing style is engaging and fluid, making "Don't Look Now" a fast-paced and addictive read. Her ability to create vivid imagery and evoke emotions through her prose is commendable. The dialogue is sharp and realistic, further enhancing the authenticity of the characters and their interactions.

In conclusion, "Don't Look Now" is a riveting and suspenseful thriller that will captivate fans of the genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars DON'T LOOK NOW by Mary Burton - Great Story & Author!
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2023

DON'T LOOK NOW was another wonderful thriller by the amazing Ms. Burton. It is definitely a dark and heavy read with some very graphic and violent scenes, including rape. Like most of MB's work though I had a hard time putting it down and I liked both Jordan and Carter too. They had awesome chemistry and made a great pair both professionally and personally. Their romance was super low-key however and then only more so toward the end. And although there was technically one sex scene, it was behind closed doors and included zero details.

This is first and foremost a novel of mystery and suspense though and one that was as chilling as it was addicting. There was a small lull in the action after Jordan is injured and I had an idea early on of who the killer was (and I was right) but I still thoroughly enjoyed this excellent story. It touched me emotionally and had a fantastic cast of characters as well. Overall it was a unique and unforgettable story that I'm glad I read. It also appears to be a standalone title but I'm really hoping MB may give Avery (Jordan's sister) and Santiago (another detective) a book of their own... 😊

Length: The kindle edition ended at the 100% mark and page 357.
