About this ebook
A cold-blooded kidnapper has been playing a twisted game with a terrified Minnesota town. Now a respected member of the community stands accused of a horrific act of evil. But when a second boy disappears, a frightened public demands to know: Have the police caught the wrong man? Is the nightmare continuing—or just beginning?
Prosecutor Ellen North believes she’s building a case against a guilty man—and that he has an accomplice in the shadows. As she prepares for the trial of her career, Ellen suddenly finds herself swept into a cruel contest of twisted wits, a dark dance of life and death . . . with an evil mind as guilty as sin.

Reviews for Guilty as Sin
225 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Guilty as Sin is the sequel to Night Sins really enjoyed it. It really kept me guessing until the end. I recommend both of these books.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Guilty as Sin picks up right where Night Sins leaves off. However, instead of continuing the focus on the Kirkwood family and the law enforcement officers trying to find the child, Guilty as Sin focuses on Ellen North, an Assistant County Prosecutor who is trying to put Dr. Garrett Wright away for this heinous crime. The ending is a page-turner and the last 50 pages will be read quickly. You'll hold your breath hoping you've sensed the outcome correctly. And you won't be disappointed.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A public defender in Minnesota is trying to process a kidnapping and murder. She has her person and the defense is good and the person gets released. This person and his team are trying to pin the crimes on someone else and almost succeed.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Initially, too many characters introduced, so I didn't know cops from lawyers, but I was soon gripped by the dogged persistence of Ellen North to see that justice was done.It was rather wordy in places but that didn't put me off too much as the characters came into their own during the story.Very good
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not as compelling as Night Sins. The author was able to sustain the suspense and the overall aura of evil that pervades the previous book. The characters aren't as interesting and multi-faceted either. However, it was still a good solid enjoyable read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I didn't know until I came to write my review on GoodReads that this novel is a sequel to "Night Sins." I read "Guilty As Sin" as a stand-alone. I enjoyed the novel and at first anticipated giving a rating of 4 stars. However as I continued turning the pages some of the subplots definitely dragged and sometimes in a tedious manner...one in particular is the repetition of mind analysis of characters Ellen North and Jay Butler Brooks of why they are drawn to one another and if they should commit to being in each other's lives for either the length of the case and/or something more permanent. It's a shame an editor didn't advise melting some pages away. Even in the cold landscape of a Minnesota winter the snow eventually melts.
