About the author

I live on Vancouver Island in the moody, green, and rain-washed Pacific Northwest. So when I'm seriously story challenged (too often!) I often walk the beach and commune with the stunning and multi-talented Mother Nature. (Make that beg for inspiration!) If that doesn’t work, a few minutes thinking about the quirks and foibles of human nature usually does the trick.

I dislike cooking.
I dislike nosy people.
I dislike too many rainy days in a row.
I dislike snakes.

And the only word I hate is hate.

I love reading, writing, my sons, my sister, my twin granddaughters, my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Boon--and most of all my first and last husband, Tim.

Had a hard getting into but finally did and truly enjoyed it!

OMGAWD! Loved this book....it had everything - sex, murder, interesting character development. The only disappointment I may have is in the reveal of the murderer BUT, not enough to upset me too much! If you like a good story that keeps you reading, and has a little steam (a little, mind you - compared to other books I have read), this is a GREAT pick!!

Eh. This one was okay. Storyline was interesting enough, and the whole scene with Gina was engrossing.. but eh. I didn't like the way the killer was just revealed out of the blue like that (although it was someone I hadn't suspected; Gina was too obvious, Erin had been my pick) and to not have any kind of storyline closure with that bugged me.

Predictable.

So, so book.

She does have good character development but too many characters doing the same thing.
