She soon discovers Bianca had any number of enemies with compelling motives for murder. Sharon must travel a complicated maze of intrigue before pinpointing the real killer.
Margaret does a terrific job of spinning a mysterious tale whether the setting is in New Mexico or on Mustang Island. Her characters are likeable, most of them are people I'd like to know in real life. Sharon and Ryan Salazar share a sweet, romantic relationship that I find refreshing.
I've read all of her books and I'd recommend them to anyone, especially those who enjoy a good mystery. She keeps me guessing and turning the pages quickly to find out whodunit.
Margaret, you do a great job of telling a tale and have it make sense. Mystery is very difficult to write, but you've got it down!
Another mystery that catches your interest. Not to long an afternoon read. Margaret is an suthor I met in New Mexico and I have read all her books and enjoyed them.
