Book Description
Natalie Lindstrom was once one of an elite group of investigators with the power to interview the dead victims of violent crime. But now Natalie has had enough. Enough of the violence. Enough of the darkness that has already gotten too close to her five-year-old daughter. Yet as she tries to build a new life and protect her child from the world she has left, Natalie still knows injustice when she sees it. And she knows that in a high-profile California trial, a young man is getting away with murder.
The case against Prescott Hyland Jr. is airtight–until a corrupt Violet delivers devastating testimony against another man. Now Natalie is being drawn back into her former career and a danger far worse than she can imagine. For while one killer is being tried in a courtroom, another has gone horribly free: to unleash a storm of vengeance–aimed straight for the heart of Natalie’s new life. Because, in the world of the Violets, sometimes your past can literally come back to haunt you. . . .

With Red Hands.......2006-11-04
I really loved this book. I had a very hard time putting it down.
Natalie Rocks!.......2006-08-18
This is the second installment of Natalie Lindstrom, a violet. Violets have violet eyes and have the ability to communicate with the dead. This is a cool way to catch killers until a corrupt violet finds a way to call up a false witness spirit. Will the real killer go free? Natalie also must face a crisis in her own life. To make matters worse, her daughter is also a violet and "The Corps" wants to recruit and train her to become an investigator, like her mother was. They are just waiting for a chance to nab Callie if Natalie lets her guard down.
Stephen Woodworth has devised an original premise with this series of novels. He has created characters who are believable. The events which take place in his books are not always happy. The hero doesn't always win and the ending isn't fairy tale-ish. I believe this adds to the appeal of his books. Woodworth's books are so easy to read. This is a great book and I highly recommend the whole series, which is up to book 3.
Praise for Stephen Woodworth!.......2006-02-19
Through Violet Eyes hooked me, With Red Hands pulled me back in, and In Golden Blood made me want only more. What makes these stories great is that such a fantastic idea of the Violets is possible! I never stopped myself in these stories to say "HOW can they do this?" in the context that it was impossible. Woodworth manages to duplicate his previous work with such real characters that even the bad guys have back stories and motives, much like real life. I highly recommend these stories to anybody who likes a good fiction story, and I cannot wait until From Black Rooms comes out.
Series continues to be fun........2006-01-18
Stephen Woodworth, With Red Hands (Dell, 2005)
The back cover of this book, and Woodworth's website, both prominently mention that he took first place in the Writers of the Future contest. (Isn't that sort of like a poet admitting he'd won the National Library of Poetry competition?) Well, in any case, worry not; despite the endorsement, you'll not find a hint of Scientology in Woodworth's fast-paced, fun thrillers.
Set in an alternate America where a subgroup of humanity known as "violets" can speak with the dead, With Red Hands (the second novel set in the violet world) continues the story of Natalie Lindstrom. It picks up six years after the end of Through Violet Eyes. Natalie now has a five-year-old daughter and a number of watchers from the Corps, which she left at the end of the first book. They not only want her back, they want to recruit her daughter as well. Natalie's having none of it. But her old friend Inez, an assistant district attorney, shows up with a case which she wants Natalie's help with on the sly; she believes the Corps' violet somehow faked testimony in an earlier trial, and will do so again this time. Despite the danger to herself and her child, Natalie finds herself compelled to help.
Woodworth's books are good, solid, quick reads that will keep you interested. They're not going to win any prestigious literary awards, but for brain candy, they're quite nicely done. The twists and turns of the plot are usually not visible until a few pages before they actually happen, the characters have above-average depth for books of this sort, and it's always wonderful to see an author bring fantasy/sci-fi/magic realism/whatever you'd like to call it out into the mainstream and have it be relatively successful.
If you're a fan of the mystery/thriller and haven't yet tried Woodworth, he's certainly worth a look. *** ½
Can't wait for Spring 2006!.......2005-12-02
I became interested in these stories last year. Since then I have had to read the others he has written. He has a way of writing that allows the reader to actually form a solid picture of the characters in your mind's eye. I am looking forward to Spring 2006 when the next in the series is released.
