With the temperature dropping and leaves turning colors, it’s time to get ready for the cool days of fall. And what better way to prepare for the long nights ahead than to download a great whodunit novel with a dash (or heaping helping) of romance. Below we have crafted a quiz to help you find your next great read, but be warned, the titles all have mysteries that need to be solved and villains that must be brought to justice. So grab a thick blanket, a cup of hot cocoa, and answer the following questions to discover which romantic mystery you will want to “fall” into next.
1. Where is your perfect romantic mystery set?
a) In “small town USA”. The everyday setting makes the violent crimes all the more shocking.
b) The rolling hills of Texas where there are lots of places to hide.
c) In a historic mansion near the choppy waters of Virginia, giving the story a Gothic feel.
2. I want to read about a heroine who is …
a) ...one hundred percent devoted to her family yet balanced enough to find success in her chosen career.
b) … intelligent and diligent, with a pressing drive to help others.
c) … currently in mourning after losing a loved one, but strong enough to take on any challenge.
3. Is your heroine in peril?
a) She may face down a bad guy (or two), but thankfully her significant other is always there to guard her with his life.
b) In my fictional world nobody is safe. NOBODY!
c) The heroine doesn’t face physical danger, but her emotions take a severe beating as she learns terrible secrets from the past.
4. When your heroine needs backup, who is she going to call?
a) Her BF who just happens to be a private investigator that solves crimes for a living.

a) ...totally and completely devoted to supporting his woman.
b) ...dependable and incredibly strong, however, he has suffered a loss and every once in a while his vulnerability shows through.
c) ...steadfast, principled, and dedicated to his community.
6. When sitting down to read a mystery, the crimes should be…
a) … studied in a clinical, professional manner.
b) … frequent and terrifying! I want something that keeps me up at night.
c) … in the past. I like trying to figure out who the bad guy is instead of focusing on violence.
7. When the last page of the book is read, I want to feel...
a) … that second chances are not only real, but they can be incredibly joyous.
b) … a sense of deep satisfaction that justice has been found and order restored.

Book Description:
Twin sisters separated by the past are reunited by unspeakable crimes in New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton’s throat-clutching novel of suspense…
Trauma victims are not new to medical examiner Faith McIntyre, but this one is different. The unconscious woman clinging to life after a hit and run is FBI agent Macy Crow. What the woman from Quantico was doing in a dark alley after midnight is just one mystery. The other is more unsettling: Macy is Faith’s mirror image—the twin sister she never knew she had.
Faith knew that she was adopted, but now she’s finding that her childhood concealed other secrets. Following the trail of clues Macy left behind, Faith and Texas Ranger Mitchell Hayden make a shocking discovery on an isolated country ranch—a burial ground for three women who disappeared thirty years before.
They weren’t the only victims in a killer’s twisted plot. And they won’t be the last.
As the missing pieces of Faith’s and Macy’s dark lives snap into place, Faith is becoming more terrified by what she sees—and by what she must do to save her sister and herself from the past.

Vikki’s Musings
Cut and Run is another spine-chilling romantic suspense form, Mary Burton. I received an invitation from the publisher, via Net-Galley, to read and review this book prior to publication. My opinions are my own and were not influenced in any way.
This is a fast-paced story with plenty of mystery and intrigue. It kept me engaged from the first page to the last. The writing is fluid, the plot well planned and the characters are enthralling. Ms. Burton held her cards tight, and I was surprised when I found out who was behind the murders.
Faith’s character quickly earns my empathy as she goes about discovering the mystery of the unconscious woman lying at death’s door who is her identical twin. I loved her tenacity, even when it almost gets her killed.
Mitchell is the typical cool ranger, determined to solve the murders. He is drawn to Faith and is determined to gain her trust. While the romance is not the central theme of this spell-binding thriller, it is gently woven into the story. By the end of the novel, I truly wanted them to find their happy ending.
If you are looking for a novel that is hard to put down with plenty of action and mystery, then you will enjoy Cut and Run. I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing series. I highly recommend this outstanding book. Happy reading!
