Readers become writers, and Christina Dodd has always been a reader. She reads everything, but because she loves humor, she likes romance best.

A woman wants things like world peace, a clean house, and a deep and meaningful relationship based on mutual understanding and love. A man wants things like a Craftsman router with attachments, undisputed control of the TV remote, and a red Corvette which will miraculously make his bald spot disappear. So when Christina's first daughter was born, she told her husband she was going to quit work and write a book. It was a good time to start a new career, because how much trouble could one little infant be?

Ha! It took ten years, two children and three completed manuscripts before her first novel, CANDLE IN THE WINDOW, was published. In the twenty-six years since, her novels have been translated into 25 languages, won Romance Writers of America's prestigious Golden Heart and RITA Awards and been called the year's best by Library Journal. Christina Dodd herself has been a clue in the Los Angeles Times crossword puzzle (11/18/05, # 13 Down: Romance Novelist named Christina — her mother was very impressed.) With more than 15 million of her books in print, Publishers Weekly praises her style that 'showcases Dodd's easy, addictive charm and steamy storytelling.'

Christina Dodd is married to a man with all his hair and no Corvette, but many Craftsman tools.


My Review

The Woman Who Couldn't Scream is the fourth book in the Virtue Falls series by Christina Dodd. While The Woman Who Couldn't Scream is part of a series, this book can easily be read as a stand alone.

 The Woman Who Couldn't Scream is the second book in this series that I have read. In this series, Sheriff Kateri Kwinault returns as the main character. Not only is her half sister from Baltimore in Virtue Falls, but also childhood friend Merri now known as Merida Falcon. One is there to find something and one is there to have vengeance on the man who ruined her life. There are lots of deaths and plenty of curves to keep the reader enthralled.

Virtue Falls is a small town on Washington's Olympic peninsula. In one the books main story lines,  Sheriff Kateri's dear friend is in the hospital in  a coma throughout the book. Kateri is deeply affected by her friend's state and knows that she must her friend.

Very interesting book. I enjoyed reading it.
