I might be biased... I enjoyed the setting in Tulsa. Shout out to the Zingo! R.I.P.

Fast moving mystery that has twists even toward the end. Loving your work is nothing new for lots of people, but dying for it is not the norm. Great weaving of people in and out of the killing field. Love the strong women that don't back down in the face of evil.
Don't let a little age to the publishing stop you form giving this mystery a try. If you like medical/Science related mystery with a dash of romance and lots of late night reading...give this one a shot!

I thought this book was a good murder mystery - plus it was extra special to me as I know the author and it takes place in Tulsa! It's basically a mystery of a big business doing foul and illegal practices in Tulsa. There are some love stories intertwined but the best part was the female lead character and her development.

Fantastic and thrilling debut suspense thriller. Don't start reading it until you have time to finish. It's a page-turner and one that you can't put down. I have loaned it to lots of friends and they all agree.

A book that kept you in suspense and never wanting to put the book down till completed. One of the first types of books that did it for me like "This Present Darkness" kind of suspense. Well written and engaging.
