Connie is a masterful storyteller.

“5 out of 5 stars Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2025 Format: Kindle Verified Purchase I loved the way the story was interwoven between Wyatt and Havens, as well as the timeframes between them. Wrenn is a strong female lead, with plenty of baggage that gets in the way, but only makes her character more endearing. Tarbutton is a great character with a lot of play in this story, which I enjoyed. There are a great many characters to love and love to hate. The story is fast paced and engaging, with a lot of thought needed. There are certain aspects that I guessed right about, and more that had me scratching my head. Which just makes for great Aha moments. I highly recommend this mystery.”

Whodunit

“5 out of 5 stars Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2018 Format: Kindle Verified Purchase A very well written, intriguing story. I found that I enjoyed it most when I had time to read every day. Because of myriad characters, if too much time had elapsed, I found it hard to remember who was who. I also had a problem with a man named Kerrie. I kept thinking of him as a woman. The same happens with women named Alex or Sam. It stops the flow of reading.”
