Up, Up and Away

by Catherine Ennis

Sarah Bodman has two equally exotic Certified Video Specialist, and balloon pilot. Called to an assignment in a Louisiana prison, Sarah finds herself in a tiny, closely guarded prison room with two federal lawyers. The lawyers will be questioning a man in the witness protection program whose sworn deposition Sarah will film, a witness who is key to the prosecution of notorious gangland boss Vinnie Scalio. Despite every precaution, the witness is murdered, along with one of the lawyers. Scalio, determined to eradicate every trace of evidence against him, employs all of his resources to track down Margaret Paige, the other lawyer, as well as Sarah and her filmed deposition. Fleeing, the two women crash-land in Louisiana's Manchac swamp. Even this deadly landscape provides little cover from Scalio's planes and guns, and offers up its own formidable challenges to their survival. The fireworks between Sarah and Margaret are as hot as the danger they are in. And Margaret is keeping her own secret. A secret that may well be as insurmountable a problem as Scalio.

This was an enjoyable read. Not emotionally or romantically deep but it had the ambience of character and attention.

I haven’t read this book in years and have to admit I don’t remember all that much about the characters. What I do remember is that at the time, I really liked and enjoyed it so I’ll have to try and find it and read it again. I also remember that at the time I made sure to remember this author’s name so that I’d make sure to buy any new books she might have published.

I can maybe understand any lower ratings because Catherine Ennis was writing in the earlier days of lesfic when it was not quite as explicit as it is now and may even be a bit dated. I won’t know until I read it again. It was published by Naiaid Press which was my goats publisher for wlw books at the time. Many of Naiaid’s books were republished by Bella Books after they left the scene so maybe I’ll find it there. I gave it 4/5 stars, but I may change that to 5/5 as I remember thinking she was/is a promising author.

Its just too far-fetched, inplausible.
