Hush
What's your greatest fear?

It's criminal profiler Ivy Dunlap's job to unravel the psyches of the most dangerous men alive. None haunts her dreams more than the killer who took her son's life sixteen years ago, then silently disappeared into the dark. Now an urgent request for help from the Chicago police has reawakened Ivy's greatest nightmare. The Madonna Murderer has returned to fulfill his calling. This time Ivy understands the killer and will face her greatest fear to stop him from killing again.


Publishers Weekly
Few serial killers penned by suspense writers today are as warped or as fully realized as the Madonna Murderer, who preys on newborn baby boys and their unwed mothers. As if the crime itself isn't bad enough, the killer leaves a musical snow globe that plays "Hush, Little Baby" in the infant's crib as his calling card. It has been nearly two decades since Ivy Dunlap and her infant son were victimized by the Madonna Murderer. Unbeknownst to the killer, Ivy survived the assault. Her baby didn't. Now a respected criminal psychologist, Ivy is called into service by the Chicago P.D. when the killer resurfaces after 16 years of dormancy. Her personal interest in the case takes on a sharper edge when she learns that her partner, Detective Max Irving, has a son named Ethan who is the same age her child would have been had he survived. When Ivy tries to rattle the Madonna Murderer by publishing a "dead-baby letter" in the newspaper, the killer becomes more daring; he befriends Ethan, sends Ivy a chunk of his skin bearing a tattoo and expands his profile of victims. Although some readers may be turned off by the novel's graphic nature, a wealth of procedural detail, a heart-thumping finale and two scarred but indelible protagonists make this a first-rate debut.

A very compelling read about an elusive serial killer and the team working hard to catch him. This is a psychological thriller with depth and layers, both to the story and to the characters.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 14 marzo 2012

The deranged serial killer/grizzled detective/psychological profiler is hardly a new genre in the world of thrillers and suspense. What sets one apart from another is the depth of the characters and how adept the author is at getting the reader into the head of the serial killer. Anne Frasier it batting a thousand on this one.

Ivy Dunlap now lives in Canada when she gets a call from an old acquaintance in Chicago with a cryptic message: "It's happening again". 'It' is the resurfacing of The Madonna Murderer, someone Ivy has intimate knowledge of from 16 years past. How does Abraham Sinclair know Ivy? He worked the case when she, the soul survivor, was assaulted by the serial killer.

Ivy has had one thing on her mind for 16 years: Kill the man responsible for killing her newborn and changed the entire scope of her life forever.

Enter Max Irving. Single father, one of the best on the force..grizzled veteran. Almost sounds cliched but his back story is as interesting as Ivy's when considering his adopted son, Ethan, was born by a woman Max only knew for several weeks. She died and Max adopted him and has treated him like his own son ever since. Ethan is 16 now and Max is waging a personal war of attrition:that of dealing with a teenage son who wants to know about his real father.

It's that depth of characterization that really sets this book apart from other thrillers that follow a similar formula. Hush is filled with many great characters, even the bit players having their own emotional baggage that made me interested in them, even if they had minimal page time.

Of course the serial killer is super deranged. Convinced that he's saving people and is acting righteously. But when the point of view shifts over to him Frasier makes it chillingly apparent how deranged the inner workings of his mind are.

I really can't say enough good things about this book. It flows great, is paced fantastically, has just enough police procedure in it but not enough to bog the story down in technicalities and jargon. The character interactions are believable and the subplots are great.

I've been reading through my backlog of kindle downloads recently (Pilfering as many new, recommended, free and deal e books as I can) going from author to author but I think I'm going to spend a little more time in Anne Frasier's neck of the woods before moving on to the to be read pile, hush was that good.

A good, entertaining and recommendable read. I`d loved the characters because they were well shaped and developed. The only downside is that the novel lost some power towards the ending and became predictable.

Ivy is not who she seems to be, she has kept her past a secret for the last 16 years but now the person who killed her son and tried to kill her is back to his murderous ways. Its time for Ivy, with the help of detective Max Irving to confront her past and try and find the man who changed her life forever, before more innocent mothers and their sons lose their lives.

I really enjoyed this book from the start however my biggest criticism of it was that there were a lot of typos. This isn't a problem I normally face as I am dyslexic and as a result don't tend to notice spelling mistakes unless they are glaring obvious. However there were several instances where sentences just didn't make sense or there were blatant spelling mistake. This was disappointing as it jolted me back to reality, and although I was able to get past this it would have obviously been better if this wasn't the case.

Now for the reasons I liked the book. I thought that there was REALLY good character development even with the very minor characters which I really like as you felt like you had more insight into each person and as a result the way they reacted to certain situations. If I start a new book it's not uncommon for me to get a bit confused at the start about who is who, but because there were such good descriptions this didn't happen once.

Throughout the book we see situations from a variety of peoples points of view, from Ivy to the killers. I thought the transition from one view point to another was really smooth. At no point did it seem out of place which I think shows a skilled writing ability as the transitions could sometimes be within the same paragraph.

I have read a lot of books within the genre but I found Hush refreshing as there wasn't a predictable love story which a lot of these books seem to include. The book had a lot of unexpected twists and turns I was left guessing throughout the whole story and kept changing my mind about who the killer was. If you like the crime books I would recommend you read Hush.
