Review of Fatal Breach
I just received another review for Fatal Breach! Thanks Alison!
Fatal Breach
Linda Rawlins
Riverbench Publishing, 2013
I read this sequel (the second volume in Rawlins's Rocky Meadow Mysteries
series) without having read "The Bench" (2011). Nonetheless, I was
immediately absorbed in the small-town Vermont setting and the compelling
characters, who transcend type (the wounded physician, recovering
alcoholic priest, or vulnerable teen girl) and are believable and
well-developed. Amidst the recent surfeit of Vatican conspiracy thrillers,
"Fatal Breach" offers an alternate, refreshing view of the church as an
inclusive, healing community, and portrays the spiritual life as intensely
practical and grounded in service to "the least of these," yet readily
permeable by the numinous and providential presence of God. The central
plotline of a Robin Hood-like cybercrimes ring of "hacktivists" could have
been more fully developed, and I was hoping for more closure of this theme
by the end of the novel. However, Rawlins has clearly set the reader up
for a continuing exploration of human and divine mysteries in Rocky
Meadow.

Book, Beaches and Brine - SinC-CJ
Yesterday was our first 2018 meeting for the NJ Chapter of Sisters in Crime – also known as SinC-CJ. It was very exciting to be there as the new Vice President. Sisters in Crime has national as well as local chapters which exist to offer networking, advice, and support to mystery writers. Members consist of authors, readers, publishers, agents, booksellers and librarians. According to the National website, Sisters in Crime was founded by Sara Paretsky and a group of women at the 1986 Bouchercon in Baltimore. It has grown considerably since then with over 3500 members and serves to promote camaraderie for all involved in the world of mystery. We’re always looking for new writers, readers and speakers!
Throughout the year, I’d like to share my literary journey by posting news of our meetings. I’d also like to promote a few of my literary sisters and their work. I’ll be posting other items related to the contents of my books as well. If you are interested in mystery, please considering attending one of our meetings or join us at one of our many writing conferences. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
