My Review of Ulla Hakanson’s Price of Silence

Poor Amy Robinson. There she goes getting engaged to someone she assumes is a decent man, only to discover he’s involved in an illegal drug ring. And what does he do when his criminal dealings go sour? He pulls Amy down with him.

In a lot of ways this book reminds me of a good monster movie. Just when you think Amy’s safe, danger somehow finds its way through the door. Fortunately Amy is one tough cookie, surviving not only on wits, but determination as well.

This book is exciting, there’s no other way of putting it. The characters are colorful, and Ulla Hakanson does a brilliant job of bringing British Columbia’s unique personality to life. I lived in BC for many years, and I found myself visualizing many of the locations described in the book. It actually made me homesick, which is weird considering it’s such a scary story.

I really enjoyed this story and I look forward to reading more of Ulla Hakanson’s work.
