As anyone who is a fan of this series knows, it's more than the entertainment of a "good read", it's an emotional investment, not unlike the one I got with Gone With the Wind. Now I know that's a heavy statement, so let me explain that I'm comparing my emotional response to the characters and story and the fact that in five or ten years I'm still going to remember it, enjoy discussing it and will undoubtedly re-read it. Behind His Eyes - Convicted closed this complicated story with so many vital characters so perfectly I was amazed. What a feat!  This book still gave me chills, anxiety, and heartache even when I already knew the story! I'm not sure I've ever followed a fictitious character as complex as Tony, even when he was changing, yet Ms Romig's insight into his psyche was so brilliant he is unforgettable. As always, her writing is so gifted she induces crystal clear images and crazy emotions without over describing anything. We all KNOW what is happening in the violent times, the sexual encounters without the gritty raw descriptions and pages and pages of redundant sexual acts. Yet we visualize it all. She's that good.I want to thank Aleatha Romig for this story and express my hope that her mind is busy conjuring up a whole new one for us. (And please put Harry in it).
