Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-10 00:00:00 Shaheed Ebrahim The murderer being transported from one prison to the other didn't expect to be able to escape - but he took the chance when it came. After ten years in prison, he had revenge to take - and he would if it was the last thing he did. Detective Maggie Bei woke in the dead of night to a noise. She thought it must have been the remnants of her recurring nightmare as it had sounded like a gunshot. But it was real - and suddenly Maggie was in the middle of a crime scene where she was a strong suspect. Maggie's partner, Detective Jonathan Stride was not allowed on the case, but he kept in close contact with the lead detective. He didn't like what was happening; nor what he was hearing. When other bodies began turning up, Stride was sure they were connected; that there was more going on than met the eye. But would he be able to exonerate Maggie when the evidence was so compelling? Stalked by Brian Freeman is the third in the Jonathan Stride series, but the first I have read by him. A tension-filled thriller, the pace is fast and the action full on. I enjoyed Stride's character, and will search out more books in this series. Highly recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-01-07 00:00:00 Mary Gore STALKED (Susp/Pol. Prod.- Minnesota-Cont) - Okay Freeman, Brian - 3rd in series St. Martin's Minotaur, 2009, US Hardcover - ISBN; 9780312363277 First Sentence: The prisoner squinted at the threatening ebony sky through the steel mesh that made u the cage in the rear of the patrol car. Maggie Bell is awakened to find her husband dead of a gunshot wound and her gun on the floor in the middle of the room. Despite her protestations of innocence, all evidence points to her being the killer, particularly to Detective Abel Teitscher whose former partner had been convicted of a similar crime. Maggie's partner, Lieutenant Jonathan Stride, believes her innocence and works behind the scenes to help prove her guilty. If you like books with a strong sense of place, Freeman provides them. His writing is very descriptive and evocative allowing you to see, feel and sense the story. There was suspense and palpable excitement that kept me going. I don't have a problem with sex as part of a story, but I don't like when it becomes pervasive, depicts woman negatively and has a prurient feel to it. Mr. Freeman's female characters often fluctuate between sexual deviants and being too stupid to live. While I did not anticipate one of the villains, the other was obvious from early on. It is three strikes and you're out for Mr. Freeman.
