Yet the next case of a young teen’s abduction could be her ticket back to the world of living. She knows instantly when someone lies and she knows that she can put her new abilities to good use once she’s back working full time to put monsters like her captor away.īefore she can return to the police and be a detective again, however, she knows she has to prove that she can do her job well without completely falling apart, especially considering that her new partner, Detective Uriah Ashby doesn’t trust her at all. However that gruesome time away from the world also gave her a unique ability to read faces and body language like noone else. For all intents and purposes Jude is a now broken woman. During her time in captivity, she was subjected to some horrific torture – both physical and psychological, which left its mark deep in her soul.

And she’s been stashed away in a cage in a depressing basement by an abductor some 3 years ago, never seeing the light of day until now, when she got a chance to kill her captor and escape. The Body Reader starts with a bang. Jude Fontaine is a detective. In fact I dare say she is an author who writes romantic thrillers like noone else. The suspense, the thrill and the chill are all too real.


There are no gratuitous steamy sex scenes taking center stage here. While I love romantic suspense books, I love mysteries and thrillers even more, and Anne Frasier is an author who puts the emphasis strongly on ‘suspense’ in her novels. I read everything I can put my hands on by this author, I’ve been one of her loyal fans from the time I’ve read Hush, back in early 2002 I think. The Body Reader is the latest novel by the popular romantic suspense author Anne Frasier, and so far a standalone.
