Customer Reviews of The Midnight Hour

This is the first..................
Karen Robards book that I have read and it will not be my last.I just went and bought "One Summer"and "Walking After Midnight". The story line in "The Midnight Hour" was great.I was slow at first,but then picked up.I was glad to see the Jessica turned her life around and the ending was a sure surprise.Tony Marino sounds like the person you would want to sit on your porch keep a safe watch over you.A must read book if you like Romance-Suspense.

If you are looking for a time filler, you¿ve found your book
Reading Tony and Grace's story is a decent way to pass the time, if that is what you are looking for. I felt that The Midnight Hour lacked the usual depth, and sexual energy that Ms. Robards books usually contain. There was nothing wrong with the plot or the character per se, but then I did not find much right with them either. Tony is your typical modern wounded male (who just so happens to be a cop), who can be found in any number of contemporary romances. Under the tough exterior, he is basically a good guy, with a soft heart who got burned previously.

With Grace, I at least felt like there was something different. She is a single parent struggling to do what she feels is best for her floundering daughter. Parenting is not easy and Ms. Robards tries to show the good with the bad and that we are all human and make mistakes. I think that there could have been a little more interaction between Grace and Tony to show their growing relationship. Circumstances make for a short timeline in this story, but two such blatant antagonists who heartily disapprove of each other as much as they did at the beginning, found a way to relate to one another rather quickly (too quickly).

There is an attempt at intricacy in the plot, though I didn't find it to run too deep. It did not take me long to figure out the general theme of the mystery and what was going to happen. I did find the secondary characters interesting and they added some flavor to the overall story. Too me, The Midnight Hour was an OK book, which is why I gave it an average rating of 3 stars

Best Karen Robards Book Yet
After reading Robards' disappointing last novel (Beachcomber), I began rereading this book, because I consider it her best yet. Sure, the plot is not perfect, but I don't care. It was credible, which is very important for me. She did a great job describing the characters and I couldn't help but fall in love with Tony. It's the perfect book to read on a rainy afternoon.
