Dying Scream by Mary Burton

Adrianna Barrington is ready to move on with her life.  Three years ago her husband Craig and her were hit by a drunk driver.  Adrianna miscarried and Craig was brain dead.  Deep in a coma, Adrianna worked hard for years to pay his nursing care fees.  The doctors thought he would live for at least 20 years, but he passed away nine months ago unexpectedly.

Now, Adrianna is selling the land and home of Craig's family.  The buyer has one stipulation: remove the family graveyard.  Adrianna agrees, but when they begin the excavation, two unknown bodies are unearthed, believed murdered.

Gage Hudson used to date Adrianna years ago when she and Craig had broken up one summer.  But as a police detective, his hours are unusual and he and Adrianna couldn't make it work.  She went back to Craig.  But the missing girls whose cases he has worked for years has always stuck with him.  The common demonitator? Craig Thornton.  Gage believes Craig is the killer and wants to prove it once and for all.

Something sinister is happening lately though.  Adrianna gets an Anniversary Card from Craig on their would-be third anniversary, someone sends her a card of his Armani cologne, and sends her white roses at her work.  She feels stalked and losing her mind.  She knows Craig is dead.  But when another body shows up killed in the same pattern, the stakes are raised.  Did she know Craig as well as she thought she did? It appears someone is protecting Craig or protecting Andrea.  Gage feels that Andrea may be in trouble and as their passion is renewed, the shadows creep closer.

DYING SCREAM is an edge-of-your-seat thriller! The plot twists, turns, and spirals out of control, the killer known only to the author.  It all comes together in a mind-numbing shock that had my head connecting the puzzle pieces and nodding as I finally understood.  If your looking for a thriller with some drama and an added touch of romance, look no further. DYING SCREAM is top-notch!!
