About the author
Susan Page Davis
176 books525 followersFROM AUTHOR'S WEBSITE: I'm a native of central Maine, and grew up on a small farm with a wonderful mom and dad, three sisters and a brother. Most of my books take place in small towns, many of them in Maine.
My husband, Jim, and I moved to his birth state, Oregon, for a while after we were married, but decided to move back to Maine and be near my family. It allowed our six children to grow up feeling close to their cousins and grandparents, and some of Jim's family have even moved to Maine!
Our children are all home-schooled. When Jim retired from his vocation as an editor at a daily newspaper, we moved from Maine to Kentucky.
I've always loved reading, history, and horses. These things come together in several of my historical books.
Another longtime hobby of mine is genealogy, which has led me down many fascinating paths. I'm proud to be a DAR member! Some of Jim's and my quirkier ancestors have inspired fictional characters.
For many years I worked for the Central Maine Morning Sentinel as a freelancer. This experience was a great help in developing fictional characters and writing realistic scenes. I also published nonfiction articles in several magazines and had several short stories appear in Woman's World, Grit, and Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. What happens when you witness a murder but the police don’t believe you? The circumstance surrounding it had you guessing how he did it. The romance side was great but maybe a little rushed. Everything came together full circle for a perfect ending though.

Oh my goodness, how hair raising can a book get? This one had me on the edge of my seat. Well written with lots of action. Highly recommend. I received a copy from the author. Opinions are my own.

I am a fan of Susan Page Davis's suspense and her police series and this novel bridges both genres beautifully! It starts off with a jolt of action and just keeps on rolling. It's a good, clean read if you like those. This is a solid five for me!

Interesting plot twist…. Not thrilled with it, but the book did keep my interest. Still seemed to be some questions about some of the characters….
