About the author

Michael Lindley

50 books113 followers
Michael Lindley is a #1 bestselling Amazon author for "Mystery Thriller & Romantic Suspense" with his debut novel THE EMMALEE AFFAIRS.

His more recent "Hanna Walsh and Alex Frank Low Country Suspense Thriller" series ranked #1 on Amazon for Mystery and Suspense series. The "Hanna and Alex" stories are set in Charleston, Pawleys Island and the fictional Dugganville, South Carolina.

His stories feature love and relationships challenged by the troubled waters of betrayal, tragic loss, and the many dark and unforeseen forces that can lie just below the surface of our fragile lives.

All of Michael's books are set in idyllic locales and often compelling historical contexts. The settings include a remote resort town in Northern Michigan in the 1940's, 50's and present-day; Atlanta and Grayton Beach Florida in the turbulent 1920's as well in current times; and most recently, 1860's and present-day Charleston, Pawleys Island and the fictional Dugganville, South Carolina.

Michael writes full-time now, stepping away from a career in Marketing and Advertising and divides his time between Northern Michigan and Florida. He and his wife, Karen, are also on an annual quest to visit the country's spectacular national parks.

"You will often find that writers are compelled to write what they love to read.

I've always been drawn to stories that are built around an idyllic time and place as much as the characters who grace these locations. As the heroes and villains come to life in my favorite stories, facing life's challenges of love and betrayal and great danger, I also enjoy coming to deeply understand the setting for the story and how it shapes the characters and the conflicts they face.

I've also been drawn to books built around a mix of past and present, allowing me to know a place and the people who live there in both a compelling historical context, as well as in present-day.

Writers like Pat Conroy and Kristin Hannah grace my bookshelves along with Ian McEwen, Dennis Lehane, Amor Towles, Anita Shreve, Lisa Wingate, William Kent Krueger and on and on. I need more bookshelves! ML

Alex and Hanna decide to go to Atlanta for her father's 70th birthday. Hanna is still determined not to work for her father's law firm but rather staying in the Charleston area. Unexpectedly, a pair of FBI agents show up aet the birthday party and arrest Hanna's father. Now she has to step in at the firm to keep things going and to get him released. It proves harder than expected. While she is coping in Atlanta, Alex is working to dismantle a large gambling organization at home.
This is another excellent crime and suspense novel in the series.

AND SO IT GOES

The Alex and Hanna book series is a captivating literary work that the reader thoroughly enjoys. They believe the story would make an excellent television adaptation, as the characters are well-developed and the plot is engaging. While the reader notes that Hanna is sometimes portrayed as less capable, they recognize her as a smart and resourceful individual who contributes significantly to the narrative.

Another 5 stars for The Firm Offer ( Hanna and Alex Book 9). The return of an old enemy who is associated with Hanna's fathers law firm brings new danger and lots of suspense to this story. Keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end.

a nice read

Just ok. Nothing much to excite the reader.
I did like Alex and Hanna as a couple.
Read it to relax, you don’t have to think much.
