Not only has Hellmann created a compelling group of believable characters, but the mystery she places them in is likewise plausible and engrossing. An Image of Death is highly recommended, even if you don't live in Illinois....

Library Journal:

A chilling subject matter, intriguing psychological suspense, and disturbing Eastern European connections recommends this to most collections....

As she did in her first two books in this strong series, Hellmann makes sure that images captured on video play an important part in the action. And she balances Foreman's personal life... with her complicated, dangerous front story....

Ellie's completely believable, because Hellmann writes believable. Her dialogue works... her characters, and her plot, even when unfamiliar or a little out-of-the-ordinary, are plausible... captivating reading and well-done.

The book opens with a gripping scene that puts shivers down your spine, and then escalates into a fascinating, character driven mystery. Ellie's sleuthing is key, but her relationships with those around her add depth to the story....
