Forbidden Steps by Ed Rambeau is a full-throttle, sexually-twisted, wholly unpredictable mystery thriller that will leave you guessing up to the very last chapter. I watch my share of Whodunits on the telly, so I know a thing or two about mysteries, but not once did I guess where Ed was going with this storyline. Just when I felt comfortable and into the swing of things, he threw another wrench into the mix, sending me into hysterics as I devoured chapter after chapter trying to keep up with the murder threads.
Written in what is sometimes called “third person omniscient,” Ed Rambeau gives the reader God’s eye-view of the action; meaning you see into every character’s point of view. Never are we in the dark about what a character thinks, feels, or believes, or the motives of their heart. This is amazingly done, because one of these guys is a killer, and even through this lofty perspective, you won’t know who “dunit” until the very end.
If you enjoy murder mysteries, you will not be disappointed.
Rated R for language, as well as marginally explicit sexual situations, including rape and incest between Steps.

Just finished reading Forbidden Steps and loved every sentence of it! This was a fun novel to read that had my head spinning from the beginning right until the unexpected end. The story is a quick and easy read full of romance, mystery, murder and sex. There are so many twists and turns, I found myself giving up on trying to guess the end and just went along for the crazy, intense ride! As a first time novelist, Mr. Rambeau captured my attention right from the start and held me captive until the very last word, at which point, I honestly wanted more. I had a very hard time putting the book down. One can only hope there will be a Forbidden Steps Part 2 and/or a producer will decide to make this great mystery into a movie. I highly recommend Forbidden Steps and eagerly await Ed Rambeau's next novel.
