Blurb:
The writing team of Anne Rothman-Hicks and Kenneth Hicks released their latest crime thriller, Mind Me, Milady, in March 2017. Published by Melange Books, Mind Me, Milady is the third book in the Jane Larson series. The series also includes Praise Her, Praise Diana and Weave a Murderous Web. All three novels are set in New York City where Anne and Ken have lived for the past forty-three years.
In Mind Me, Milady, a serial killer is on the loose in New York. Police have dubbed him the Gentleman Rapist because of the mockingly polite way he speaks with his victims before he rapes them.
Jane Larson is an attorney on the Upper East Side of New York City, and the Gentleman Rapist has chosen her to receive his calls announcing each conquest. He also reminds her in chilling terms that he will one day twist his wire around her throat and bend her to his will.Jane has professional and personal problems of her own, but she is forced to try to catch this monster when he stalks her newest client. Susan is a sweet young woman who cannot remember large time periods of her past and who has dreams about a prior life in which she was raped. Soon, the Gentleman escalates to murder, and Jane wonders if he was involved in Susan’s forgotten past, or if Susan is simply a means to get to Jane. Either way, Jane is caught in the deadly game of stopping the Gentleman before another woman feels the wire at her throat and hears his sinister whisper to “Mind Me, Milady.”

“The husband/wife writing team of Anne Rothman-Hicks and Kenneth Hicks has created another dark and edgy tale of crime… that will have you dumbstruck at the realistic feel of every scene, every emotion and every action.” – 5 Stars, Reviewed by Diane for Tome Tender
“Mind Me, Milady is an excellent joint effort between Anne Rothman and Kenneth Hicks. Normally I can guess who did it long before the criminal is revealed, but not this time. This story kept me guessing all the way through, so much so that I didn’t put it down until I had finished. Excellent story, well written and very clever.” - 5 Stars, Reviewed by Anne-Marie Reynolds for Readers’ Favorite
