“A well written, suspenseful, fast pasted murder mystery with the unique complication of a hurricane. I loved the vivid descriptions stimulating a sensory or emotional response…A strong, haunted, intelligent female protagonist who is reckless at times. Her partner is equally competent and supportive.”

“I loved everything about this book! A car accident ended Ivy's career in the FBI. I loved her resilience! She returned home to recover. She had unresolved issues with her father and was haunted by her sister's disappearance. Ivy assisted the local police on a macabre case. The writing was exceptional!”
