Lawrence Ambrose's book "Dead Couple Walking" has something for both the lover of a good suspense book as well as the reader who loves a good romance story.Ambrose is an accomplished writer and other than a couple of spelling miscues, his style flows very well and is a pleasure to read.As I said this book balances precariously between a thriller and a romance. He adds in the best aspects of both. The novel has the unique aspect of being seen through the eyes of both protagonists; Steven and Janice. Their forbidden love for each other has many pitfalls and they experience a lifetime of ups and downs before they are finally faced with the prospect of commitment to each other or the inevitable painful break-up. When they do make that choice,  they must face the troubling consequences that their decision results in.I loved the book. My only criticism is that it took a great deal of reading to get a grasp on the plot. I am one who likes to know what I am getting into immediately. Though in Ambrose's defense, he does a first rate job of leading the reader into the minds of his two characters so that they can enjoy the long ride.
