Oh boy, oh boy - the mystery deepens

Some “haunting” incidents bedevil the heir to one of the first, very secluded, mansions built in Twilight Cove.

Broken glass on the porch, nails on the driveway behind her car - things going “bump” in the night - and then a horrifying discovery upon returning from a day’s worth of shopping.

And the death of podcaster Kiernan continues to plague Dean.

BACKGROUND

Background is needed for these stories that make sense to readers that have not read previous books about Dean, Emma, etc. You will lose valuable readers if you don't catch them up. At this point we don't know about the girls deaths and I won't be buying anymore to find out. I don't like dragging new stories into the old to keep one interested.

Dean and Xavier are a great team

I really enjoy this series. Dean Steele is a relentless sleuth and Xavier always brings the unique point of view. Together they provide an entertaining and interesting story. And, of course their author will always give them new twists and turns in every book.

Murder in Twilight Cove(Dean Steele Mystery Thriller Book 11)

OMG!!!!!! This book was amazing, I couldn't believe I had finished it. There were a lot of twists and turns in this book, and a lot of information, but I think Dean has his hands full trying to solve the other murders that he is trying to solve. I can't wait to read the next book.

Always good stories with Dean and Xavier

Oh my gosh! Every time Dean (and Xavier) solve one puzzle, up comes another one! The thought process he goes through is fascinating, how he connects each piece of the crime. And I love the progress Xavier is making.

Number of Murders

Dean certainly keeps himself busy as the investigations keep piling up. All the killings seem to be tied together. It's interesting to read how is mind latches on to a small item and he solves what happened. Good story.

Twilight Cove

Rivers is a master of intertwining former stories together, but a reader does not need to have read them. Hopefully, Heather will become a regular in future stories because Dean still has questions.

Dean Steele is the man!

He seriously wishes I had a Dean Steele in my life. I love how so much is going on but it flows so seamlessly. Not too much to be overwhelming and enough detail to not be overkill. Thoroughly enjoyed all the books this far.

Great reading

Dean can truly uncover the extraordinary items of any mystery. If only he got paid for all the work he does. I truly enjoy reading the A.J.Rivers books. Have enjoyed the Dean Steel series an Emma Griffin series

The storyline of Dean solving murders and mysteries on the island are getting monotonous. Still want to know more about Brielle’s husband and his involvement with her murder.

awesome

These stories get better with each one the author writes. If you like mysteries you should read her series with Dean, Emma, and Ava. Very good series

another great read

As usual, lots of twists and turns. Spellbound is one word that comes to mind. If you like mystery and intrigue, grab a cop of this one
