This is literally a book the reader will be unable to put down.” —Old Book Barn Gazette BLACK FOR REMEMBRANCE “Loaded with mystery and suspense … Mary Higgins Clark fans, take note.” —Kirkus Reviews “Gripped me from the first page and held on through its completely unexpected climax. Lock your doors, make sure there’s no one behind you, and pick up Black for Remembrancer —William Katz, author of Double Wedding “Bizarre, terrifying… an inventive and forceful psychological thriller.” —Publishers Weekly “Thompson’s style is richly bleak, her sense of morality complex… Thompson is a mistress of the thriller parvenu.” —Fear SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE “This story will keep readers up well into the night.” —Huntress Reviews DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES “Don’t Close Your Eyes has all the gothic sensibilities of a Victoria Holt novel, combined with the riveting modern suspense of Sharyn McCrumb’s The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter. Don’t close your eyes—and don’t miss this one.” —Meagan McKinney, author of In the Dark “An exciting romantic suspense novel that will thrill readers with the subplots of a who-done-it and a legendary resident ghost seen only by children. These themes cleverly tie back to the main story line centering on the relationships between Natalie and Nick, and Natalie and the killer. Carlene Thompson fools the audience into thinking they know the murderer early on in the book. The reviewer suggests finishing this terrific tale in one sitting to ascertain how accurate are the reader’s deductive skills in pinpointing the true villain.” —Midwest Book Review IN THE EVENT OF MY DEATH “[A] blood-chilling … tale of vengeance, madness, and murder.” —Romantic Times THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT “Thompson … has crafted a lively, entertaining read… skillfully ratchet[ing] up the tension with each successive chapter.” —Charleston Daily Mail ST.
