Summary: HEAR NO EVIL--A non-stop-page-turner!
Review: Bethany Campbell has created another taut, riveting, non-stop-page-turner of a suspense. As in all of Campbell's books, the characters are multi-dimensional and fascinating, whether it's the heroine, Eden, or the hero, Owen. Campbell is particularly good with the villains, giving them an edgy vulnerablilty that makes them understandable and contemptible at the same time. HEAR NO EVIL is a great, gripping read and continues to establish Campbell as one of today's most accomplished writers of suspense.

Summary: It's Okay
Review: Eden had a hard childhood and moved away after she grew up and 15 years later she was called back because her grandmother needed her. She came home and found that her grandmother only wanted her to run the psychic line for her while she was in the hospital. She was also commanded to watch after her sister's child who was dropped off because her sister was in a lot of trouble. I haven't ever read any murder mysteries before, but I thought I'd be different. This book was different than what I've read before because it was more violent than what I usually read. I really don't like the book because I knew what was going to happen before it happened. It also was a cold book. "Now I've murdered." This phrase made me thind that the people in this book were not really sane and they were sick individuals. I didn't really identify with the characters except when they talked about the loved ones that had died in their life and the pain that they went through. I thought it was a suspenseful book,but I didn't like the book because I'm not into scary books. I wouldn't recommend this book to people who are sick of hearing about murders and death. It can be kind of depressing.

Summary: A DIFFERENT TYPE OF THRILLER
Review: Eden is a most extraordinary protagonist. A psychic with congenital abilities, she has an interesting bond with her grandmother, who is a well known psychic. Eden's return to confront her past together with her current abilities makes for a very interesting contrast. In reading this story, one can imagine the child Eden talking to her grandmother as she in adult years poses as her grandmother when acting as telephone psychic. This particular part of the story makes for very interesting reading.

Summary: Don't waste your money on this one!
Review: Eden Storey is a one dimensional character - the "Hero" (Charteris) is downright unlikable ... I was hoping I could begin to connect with the characters but never did feel the book was holding my interest. The child, Peyton, gave me a completely "negative" feeling from the moment of her introduction. I am not sure WHAT was wrong with this book, but it certainly left me feeling very negative and frankly, it was one of the most non-enjoyable books I've read in years.

Summary: Intriguing, Mysterious, Suspenseful
Review: In Florida, a myterious blonde plants a bomb on a small passenger plane headed toward the Bahamas. In California, a young actress, Eden, gets a call to come home to the South because her grandmother's had an accident. The two events seem to have no connection, but before the book is over, the reader sees the dark threads that bind a group of seemingly disconnected characters and actions. Eden is reluctant to be drawn back into her dysfunctional family--she has a successful life and career of her own now. Eden has a particularly prickly relationship with Jessie, her domineering grandmother, a phone psychic with a gift for blarney--and maybe one for seeing the future. Eden is also suddenly responsible for a young niece she didn't even realize she had. This child has been abandoned, but why? What has happened to her mother? This frightened, uncommunicative little girl holds the key to the violent events that begin the book and that come to haunt Eden and her uneasy little family. Owen Charteris is the grandmother's protective landlord, as well as a former detective trying to come to terms with his wife's death. A loner who wants to be a decent man but yearns to be left alone, he must join Eden in fighting an evil pair who have a deceptively pleasant surface, and hearts as ruthless and twisted as evil itself.

Summary: A Striking Mixture of Darkness and Light
Review: Part of the pleasure of this book is watching the author weave together what seem, at first, to be totally unrelated story lines: a terrorist bombing, a mysterious little girl who's been abandoned, and an actress forced to substitute for an ailing phone psychic. The heroine, Eden, is a successful voice-over artist who's made her own way in the world and thinks she's left her difficult childhood and complicated family behind. She values her independence and believes the past has little power over her. Not only is she drawn back into old relationships, she finds herself facing troubling new ones, with a vulnerable little girl and a hero as determined as Eden to stay uninvolved. Emotion builds, and so does danger, because the child knows too much, and soon, so does Eden. This is a good suspense tale with definitely dark overtones, but it is also a very different kind of love story, as well as one of a family finding itself. Darkness and light entertwine for an intriguing read.

Summary: Don't talk to strangers when running to buy this thriller
Review: Thirty-three years old Eden Storey has a talented voice that allows her to imitate almost any type of person. As such, her vocal chords are well known by media audiences everywhere even though her face and body have been obscured. However, her talent is needed elsewhere as Grandma Jessie becomes incapacitated and can not operate the family business of a phone psychic. Eden pretends to be her grandmother so her clients will continue to phone her for readings. One timorous customer frighteningly calls and paints an Armageddon like picture to Eden. However, Eden is unaware that anyone who knows about the scenario described by the distraugt caller is placed in an immediate life-threatening situation. Though wondering if the caller is a paranoid conspiracy nut, Eden has unwittingly and unknowingly come into knowledge of something sinister that, makes her a target requiring elimination. HEAR NO EVIL is a fabulously tense chiller that will elate fans of suspense thrillers. The story line is action packed and the characters will appeal to the readers. Best selling author Bethany Campbell's latest book will please her fans, who will impatiently await more chills from one of the nineties new masters. Anyone who enjoys a suspense-filled thriller should try this novel and Ms. Campbell's previous works like SEE HOW THEY RUN and DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS because they are well-written tales.
