Elena lives and writes in a suburb North of Los Angeles.  She has never lived anywhere besides California which is probably a good thing since she hates being cold and is terrified to drive in the snow. She loves being a wife and a mother to her two kids and three dogs, although really the bulldog is the fourth child who has never matured beyond the toddler stage.

A self proclaimed nerd, she has been writing since she was a child. She has only recently, however, come out of the closet about this to her family and friends.  They now understand better, but not completely, why she talks about characters in stories as if they are real people.

 

My review:  This book covered my three favorite generes: romance, mystery and murder! I was completely transported from page one; the characters jumped to life, and I found myself thinking about the story when I was forced to step away, wondering what would happen next and how it was all going to come together and work out. 

A blend of whodunnit, will the case be solved and who will she choose, I found this story reminiscent of Nora Roberts and Mary Higgins Clark. A perfect mix!

The love story was engaging without being too much. The pacing and characterization were spot-on, and I can’t wait to read more from this author.
