Publisher's Weekly gave the debut a starred review, denoting a book of special merit. The industry journal says STALKING SUSAN, an "impressive debut, a thriller, introduces Riley Spartz, a Twin Cities investigative TV journalist...Kramer, a freelance television producer, delivers more than another ho-hum remix of a 48 Hours episode...Readers will look forward to seeing a lot more of the appealing Riley, who cares about justice as much as snagging at least a 40 audience share."
Kirkus Reviews also offered praise, calling STALKING SUSAN. a "lively and fast-paced debut...Kramer writes with heart and pizzazz, and her believable heroine makes the well-worn (serial killer) concept feel fresh...Kramer's past as a TV producer lends authority to an entertaining story."
Romantic Times made the thriller a Top Pick and gave it four and a half stars. "Kramer's background as a TV news producer brings realism to her debut novel about a TV reporter who gets a cold case to investigate. Great characters and a well-constructed, chilling plot make this a thoroughly satisfying novel. Riley is a character you will love, and this page-turner is difficult to put down. It ranks as one of the best debut novels I've encountered."
Booklist also praised Kramer's first novel: "...she spins a good story with a gutsy and appealing protagonist...This is a series worth joining at the start."
