September 15, 2007: Although I?m one of those readers who like to get right into the action of a story, Cooper?s style teases the reader with a lead-in to the plot through the main character. (She does inform us on her web site that her novels are character-driven) Then suddenly when she?s about to surprise her friend, Investigator David Sherman, with a birthday cake, David?s cell phone rings with an announcement of double murder.****** From that point on, Violent Visions of Murder kept me glued to the pages. ****** Brianna Taylor, born a psychic, sets out to solve a thirty-year mystery involving her brother?s dead twin, whose family believes he is not their blood child, but was switched by someone at birth. Her search for answers draws her into the lives of three brothers, Preston Marlowe, a prominent businessman, Robert who is retarded, and Donald, a drifter, all under suspicion of murder. When Brianna falls in love with Preston Marlowe, the eldest brother, wanting to prove his innocence she teams up with Investigator David Sherman and uses her psychic skills to ferret out the identity of the real killer.****** Cooper offers gripping suspense right up to the last page?and I didn?t want it to end.
