Karen Rose writes a great suspension novel. I feel she is right up there with the likes of James Patterson or James Sheehan. Karen Rose had me all over the place trying to figure out what would happen next. I have to say, I didn't figure this one out until almost the end. This tells me what a great writer Karen Rose is. If I can figure out a book way before the ending, I lose interest. But not in WATCH YOUR BACK
