Two sisters caught up in a web of kidnapping, murder, and deceit.

Linzy and Sasha Everly are blessed with a near-perfect small-town life. Their only worries are making good grades in high school and helping out around the family’s tiny pecan farm. Life is good. And then in the dark of an ordinary night, their parents are taken from them, and their lives are upended forever. A short time later, a previously unknown relative comes to town claiming to be their new guardian. The two sisters think things couldn’t get any worse, until they do.

We were in New Mexico and there was a beautiful little stream with such a rocky bed that the water just seemed to stutter along in fits and starts.

Then I moved on to Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Mary Higgins Clark. Oh, and Jeffrey Deaver. His Lincoln Rhyme novels are packed with suspense.

Thanks for asking. I still have so much to learn about this game of novel writing!(less)
