Hide & Seek: Story 6 in the “Tales of Suspense” Series
Vacationing in a five-star resort in the Rocky Mountains, film mogul Kenneth Edward Westland and his new, young wife, Delilah, find themselves trapped in the hotel after he becomes ill during a raging snowstorm. The resort, now abandoned for the winter, proves to be the last piece of the puzzle in a plot for Delilah to murder her husband to gain his fortune.
But before he dies—anticipating his wife’s evil plans—Westland tells his wife that someone is coming to expose her evil deeds. When she is forced to take in several guests seeking refuge from the storm, she must figure out who the detective is.
Is it the sleazy salesman, the jealous writer, the plain-jane mistress, the small-town sheriff, or one of the others who might have crossed his path on that fateful day?
Based on a 1949 radio play, it was broadcast on Valentine’s Day as a gift—and a warning—to all lovers.

I liked the end of this story.
Hide & Seek is a good, well-written story. Jerry Jamison uses a combination of psychological suspense and mystery to tell this story from Delilah's point of view. Paranoia, murder, lies, twists, and seduction all play a part in the plot of Hide & Seek. I won't reread it, but I really liked it. The backstories helped me connect with the characters.

Twists and Turns galore!
Wow, this story has so many twists and turns, one could get dizzy from it. The unexpected ending and also the many consequences of having a black heart, is what gripped me from the beginning to the surprising end.
I never put the book down until I was finished.
Highly recommended short read!
