Reviews

[Amber Foxx · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the characters. Leigh Ann Warren is someone I’d enjoy knowing in real life. Between jobs but trained as a cop, she’s totally believable in crime-solving. I was fully wrapped up in the story as the first strange things began happening to her and around her, well before there was a murder. Then the stakes went up dramatically. The mystery unfolds in an unusual way, yet with every thread tied in from the diverse strands of the plot. The complexity made this book full or surprises —so much happens in every chapter. The town of Ourland won my heart. I thought the antagonist character was a bit of stretch as far as her motives and her psychology, but that detracted very little from my enjoyment of the book. The process of discovering who she is and finding her was a great puzzle, a good chase.

Loved it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love her style of writing, the characters and the plot, which never got boring—I couldn’t put it down. I plan to read more by this author.

Stolen idenity

Leigh Warren’s idenity has been taken and she is determined to find the perpatrater. The story is slowly paced even with many incidents but it remasters interesting but not a page turner type of mystery

Detailed

Somewhat detailed in the descriptions of the local vistas. Basically good, but I prefer more action and less touring. Some of the characters were a bit eccentric for my taste.

I am sad this series has ended. It's a solid series and I think this may be the best plot of the four.

I just wish she would write faster. Love Leann and her sweetie. Tank is also good humor. Her plots are always very creative and fun.
