Narrative In Pursuance Of Books The Halo Effect (Butterfield Institute #1)

The mutilated body of a prostitute in a nun's habit, her pubic hair shaved into a cross, appears on page one of this suspense thriller, making it plain that Rose's latest (after Sheet Music) is not for the squeamish.

The novel is the first in a new series featuring the Butterfield Institute, a Manhattan sex therapy clinic employing psychiatrist Dr. Morgan Snow. One of Morgan's patients, the clever and selective call girl Cleo Thane, has written a memoir full of thinly disguised portraits of her clients, powerful men with odd fantasies and fetishes. She leaves this potentially explosive manuscript with Dr. Snow and then misses several appointments, causing Morgan to suspect foul play.

Yet NYPD Det. Noah Jordain and his team, diligently pursuing leads in what's become a gory, ritualistic series of prostitute murders, have no evidence that Cleo, whose clientele puts her in a class by herself, might be a victim. Noah and Morgan are drawn to each other, but when Morgan can't persuade Noah to devote more effort to the search for Cleo, she determines to go undercover and meet Cleo's principal clients herself.

Ill-equipped for this masquerade, Morgan is soon in over her head and in peril. The mystery takes second place to the catalogue of sexual eccentricities, but Cleo is an engaging guide to the world of dysfunction Rose painstakingly constructs.

Evaluate Containing Books The Halo Effect (Butterfield Institute #1)

Everything about this story was a slow seduction. It's sexy, steamy and suspenseful - the best "erotic thriller" I've read so far. The vignettes on the clients from Cleo's book are poignant and unforgettable. Rose surely knows how to seduce her reader.

A good gripping thriller featuring a strong female lead in Dr Morgan Snow. Women are being killed with ritualistic precision & one of Morgan's patients, Cleo Thane, could be next on the list. But Cleo has already vanished, leaving Morgan a copy of her yet to be published diary of her life as a high priced call girl & Morgan is sure that the diary holds the key to the killers identity. (Which is fairly easy to work out!) As Morgan hastens to find Cleo, she still manages to find time to

Morgan Snow is a professional therapist specializing in sexual issues. When her client (an expensive call girl who is writing a book about her lifestyle) disappears, it seems possible that one of her clients is involved. Also, that it may be connected to a series of ritualistic murders of prostitutes. Morgan feels her only way to help Cleo is to investigate herself because she can't legally or ethically violate her patient's confidences.This book is interesting in many ways. The first is how it

THE HALO EFFECT (Amateur Sleuth/Psychiatrist-New York City-Cont) OkayRose, M.J. 1st in seriesMira, 2004 Trade PaperbackPsychiatrist Dr. Morgan Snow is a sex therapist. One of her clients is Cleo Thane, a very high-priced prostitute. When Cleo disappears, Detective Noah Jordain approaches Morgan for information. Someone is ritualistically murdering prostitutes. Cleo has left with Morgan the manuscript of a book she's written about her life and her clients. Due to client confidentiality, Morgan



I really liked this book. I was introduced to the series from a Kindle freebie and it was a great investment. I like how we see inside Morgan's thoughts and fears and learning about her background. It definitely helps the later book since I read them out of order. I also liked how it is different than most murder mysteries b/c it's not your typical "police procedural". As a psych major and teacher/counselor (at one time) I like hearing about her therapy sessions and how she is interacting with

3.5/5 StarsGreat read by Ms. Rose, but I have to be honest and say that I prefer her historical fiction novels more than her contemporary literature. This book had more sexual overtones/undertones and every kind of "tone" to it, so I had to adjust to that (wasn't that difficult), but I must admit that I find her Historical Fiction books to be "deeper and more soulful"
