Kay Jennings and 1 other person liked Dorcas Herr's review of Vengeance Falls: A Port Stirling Mystery: "Fun read It was good as usual, but a couple of great twists and now I can’t wait for the next one! Please Kay write fast! And maybe write longer books. I hate when I finish! It only takes me two days. You really took it a notch up with that giant gut " Read more of this review »
