Paperback

ROMANTIC TIMES MAGAZINE, July 2000:
“Told from a first-person perspective, this is an excellent mystery with romance and a paranormal element. There are enough suspects to keep one guessing, but not so many as to be confusing and the villain is not all that apparent. Well worth a look.” Four Stars!

Susan Mobley, reviewer
