"Fine thriller with the romance enhancing the law enforcement"
Stacy Pembroke becomes the twelfth victim of Santa Ana's
Sunday Killer, whose murders have baffled the local cops
and the FBI. The M.O. of this serial killer especially
hits home to FBI Agent Charlotte "Charley" Dow as the
murders are identical to the killing of her sister. New agent Nicholas Brannigan is assigned to team up with
Charley. However, her reluctance to see the corpse
surprises him until he learns about her sister. As they
work together they seek information on Stacy; that leads
the Feds to her married lover Robert Pullman. He had
opportunity and perhaps a motive since she broke off with
him, but how does he fit in with the other eleven dead.
As the two Feds along with another team struggle to stop a
serial killer, they begin to fall in love. First however,
they must end the reign of terror of a psychopathic
predator before they can explore their feelings in depth. Though one would believe that Charley would be taken off
the case for obvious reasons, readers will still
appreciate this strong romantic police procedural. The
five member task force especially the lead duet seems
genuine as their feelings come across with how they handle
the investigation. The case is cleverly pursued above all
else including the growing attraction between Charley and
Nicholas, which in turn adds to the realism. Though
serial killers have become a too often used staple,
SUNDAYS ARE FOR MURDER is a fine thriller with the romance
enhancing the law enforcement efforts to apprehend an
infamously successful serial killer. Harriet Klausner

SummaryA serial killer who strikes on Sundays is back in business,
and workaholic FBI agent Charlotte "Charly" Dow will do
anything to catch him. For Charly, the investigation is
personal. Her sister was one of the victims murdered during
the psychopath's vicious killing spree. The tragedy
destroyed Charly's family...even sending her mother into a
mental institution.
Now Charly has a new partner—agent Nick Marshall, who
is just as reluctant as she is when it comes to trusting
other people. Nick has his own problems. He's emotionally
detached and has enough skeletons in his closet to keep him
from sleeping at night. However, investigating the serial
killer keeps him plenty occupied, and Charly herself is fast
turning into a compelling distraction.
But bodies keep showing up—and someone knows Nick has a
secret....
