Until Dark Mariah Stewart July 30, 2006

Kendra Smith, a compositor for the FBI, is called in to sketch the face of the "Soccer Mom Killer". A spine chilling thriller with some romance thrown in! Couldn't put it down, like all Mariah Stewart's books.
Great Thriller February 14, 2005

This is the first book I've read by Mariah Stewart, but will definitely be reading more of her books. Until Dark is a great thriller with a good mixture of everything thrown in. Recommended.
until dark - my review July 10, 2004
26 out of 27 found this review helpful
a skilled compositer for the FBI, Kendra Smith has a way with witnesses, helping them to remember crucial details about their attackers they might otherewise have forgotten. she believes her work helps victims and familys get closure - something that has eluded her for eleven years since her brother was kidnapped and his body never found.
she is called in to sketch the face of a man the press is calling the soccer mom killer. it's a difficult investigation made even harder by the presence of special agent Adam Stark, a man whom she once had a brief but passionate affair with.
as the number of victims continues to rise and with a killer always one step ahaed, Kendra will learn a lethal lesson:
you can run from the past, but you can't hide.....this is the first book that i have read by this author and my first impression is WOW. this is an exciting and very well written thriller. full of suspense and forboding, the ending leaves you asking questions like, if there are people like this in the world, then we should all be worried. it didn't seem much of an explanation - this reason for killing, only to the killer!
the book is fast paced with a nice mixture of suspense/romance/physcological intrigue and a damn fine story.
the only let down for me, was when Kendra fought the killer and seemed to have the edge - highly unlikely seeing as he was a prolific killer.
this is a book that i would highly recommend

Kendra Smith was a skilled compositor for the FBI. She was well known for the way she could make witnesses recall details about their attackers. Kendra felt that she helped provide closure for the victims and their families - closure that she never received when her little brother, Ian, disappeared eleven years ago. When the FBI needed someone to sketch the face of a killer dubbed the "Soccer Mom Killer", Kendra was called. Special Agent Adam Stark had a brief, passionate affair with Kendra a few years before. Adam saw this as an opportunity to renew their relationship. This was not easy since the number of bodies kept increasing. Worse, the killer seemed to be sending Kendra a personal message. **** Action and suspense combine for a thrilling ride in this novel by Mariah Stewart. It will take a very astute reader to figure out who the killer is before the main characters can. I could not stop reading! Highly recommended! ****
