About Catherine Coulter

If you could begin you full time job at 7:30 a.m. and be completed for the day by 11:00, wouldn't that be a great job? American author, Catherine Coulter has her dream job with just that schedule. She begins every morning at 6:30 a.m. checking and answering her emails, and begins writing at 7:30 a.m. After writing her quota for the day, she finishes at 11:00! Coulter usually plans to write one suspense novel and one historical romance novel each year.

Coulter began her career as a speech writer for an executive on Wall Street while her husband was a medical student. She did a lot of reading herself to fill her time as he studied or was on duty. During one particular reading episode, she got so aggravated by the lack of good writing in the book she was reading, that she threw it across the room. As she did this, she yelled, I could do so much better than that! Her husband said, then go ahead, prove it! Thus began a career that has led her to writing over fifty books, with 42 consecutive novels on the New York Times best seller list. Among them: The Cove, The Maze, The Target, The Edge, Riptide, Knockout, Hemlock Bay, Blindside, and many others in her suspense thriller series.

Coulter currently resides in Marin County, California just across the Golden Gate Bridge, with her husband and their three cats. They enjoy travel, skiing, and she is still a very avid reader.

Under different circumstances I may have complained about the need to edit this book and certainly c......more

I fell in love with this book. I thought that Lord Chilton, Frederic North Nightingale was an awesome man. I love that he brooded as he walked the moors. I love how Caroline Derwent-Jones was able to see past all the negative feelings that were possessed by the members of the household members and s......more

Catherine Coulter has the wonder ability to create amazing characters. Her hero and heroine are wonderful but the supporting characters easily steal the scene in my opinion. I enjoyed the first book of the trilogy more but I was still entertained. I guessed the identity of the murderer pretty early......more

Goodreads review by Cindy on July 17, 2020

Copyright 1994. This is a reread for me. So, I have a love/hate relationship with CC. She's a good writer & this book has great wit & intelligence. I loved the H/h. The story is interesting & there's lots going on. The thing is, you always have to be careful with a CC. She loves to have her heroine......more

Goodreads review by Sheryl on August 04, 2022

I believe this is the eleventh Coulter I've read and it suffers from some of her usual tropes. Forget about people acting like they belong to the Regency era. The main characters are all too modern and will happily discuss sex in mixed-gender groups at the drop of a hat. I’ve lost track of the numbe......more
