A killer plays cat and mouse with a young widow against the snowy backdrop of an Alaskan winter. Branded a black widow after the suspicious death of her millionaire husband, Sarah Palmer flees Seattle for Anchorage. But the peace and quiet she hoped to enjoy in her hometown is soon shattered: The killer is murdering Sarah look-alikes on the fourteenth of each month, taunting Sarah with a valentine of evidence. After her experiences in Seattle, Sarah is slow to go to the police. When she finally does, she finds Detective Steven Quaid, who is called on to protect the beautiful widow from a stalker intent on her destruction. Steven is not entirely sure she is not behind the scheme herself, and before long Sarah has him wound up tighter than barbed wire. Is Sarah a victim or a very skilled manipulator? With a killer on the loose and a climbing body count, Steven can’t afford to hedge his bets-or his life.
Thrilling and Addictive!! I received a free copy of this book from Curiosity Quills in exchange for an honest review.What an exciting murder mystery. The author weaves a fascinating tale with wonderful characters that you care about almost as soon as you are introduced. The plot twists and turns in so many directions you find it hard to put down in fear you will miss something. I was breathless by the time the story concluded. I want more, more, more! Looking forward to more from this author!
Three stars for a good effort but…. In the beginning I thought this book was going to be a winner but then suddenly the main characters would have an abrupt change of emotions. This seemed contrived to make the story more suspensful but failed to make the characters/circumstances believable.
Almost good This book almost worked. I applaud the author for this first effort.Â
