Praise for Reckonings
Here's what people are saying.
" Rating: 5 out of 5 stars “A quick, easy, and enjoyable read that was fast paced, atmospheric, twisty, and unpredictable that is full of complex characters. Heart-warming and compelling.” -Aria Harlow
“Rating: 5 Stars. There are two things Karen E. Osborne does extremely well--both of which contribute to making her novels emotionally powerful. She writes superb dialogue, and her attention to detail is impeccable. This novel takes you into the heart of a woman who is struggling hard to come to terms with her past, while still maintaining a foothold in the present, and Osborne conveys that conflict expertly.” Russell Rowland, author of Cold Country
"5.0 out of 5 stars Excellently Crafted Fiction
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2022
This excellently crafted novel throws a net over the reader from the first page. Reckonings is a relatable and compulsively readable family story, filled with suspense, dangerous secrets, and . . . NO SPOILERS. :-)" Reader Review

Praise for Tangled Lies
“Karen E. Osborne’s explosive first chapter is succeeded by a constant series of surprises and a world where danger lurks around every corner. Her narrative comes in cinematic bursts that inject vivid imagery and high-impact dialogue, but also leave plenty to the imagination. And she delivers sexual imagery that adds fireworks without ever distracting from this masterfully constructed whodunnit.” - BestThrillers.com
"In this engrossing novel, Osborne excels at characterization… An engaging, well-plotted thriller with themes of race, family, and forgiveness." - Kirkus Reviews
