Yeah, I'll skip that one too.
I don't really understand why it would've won a RITA for romance, but
perhaps there was nothing better that year, or it was a goof.

Thanks, Gerald, for the info. I think I'll cross that one off my list.

It does had two characters who fall in love and get married, but I think the violence of the murders overshadows the romance. At least that's why I didn't remember it as such.

Hi Cindy:
I posted the RITA winners on the list.
As you will see Susan Elizabeth won several Ritas. There are 13 different categories and it tries to encompass all types of romances. Historical and contemporary. And even within those there are subcategories such as Paranormal and suspense. I also was surprise to see the tess Gertsen novel there as well. I assume she was a mystery writer. Anyone read this one?
