From THE RELATIVES :
Gwen put her hand on the cloisonnΓ© tray with the bottle, the cork pull, and the two gold-rimmed crystal glasses. "As a welcome gift, we left you an appetizer tray and wine from one of Washington's finest wineries. The Chardonnay is one of our favorites, so we hope you will enjoy it."
Cecily sighed wistfully. "If only I could. But my acid reflux won't allow me to drink the tiniest drop of liquor of any kind."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Gwen was pretty sure she didn't give a damn.
"It's really okay. I'll be the one laughing when you drinkers destroy your livers."
Gwen, and her liver, were speechless.
Now, enjoy THE RELATIVES!

Review
Praise for *Virtue Falls
Edge of the seat suspense and fascinating premise. Couldn't put it down. My kind of thriller! (Iris Johansen)
"Tight, edgy, and compelling, Virtue Falls redefines the romantic thriller. This is my favorite kind of suspense... I loved it. Fans of Nora Roberts will devour Virtue Falls. (Jayne Ann Krentz)
Compulsively readable...I love all the characters, all the stories, and the chilling violence that binds them all together. (Elizabeth Lowell)
"Dodd writes with power and passion (and always leaves me satisfied!" J.R. Ward)
What an absolute thrill ride of a book! Sign me up for anything Christina Dodd writes. (Karen Robards)
Romance star Dodd moves firmly into thriller territory, and a fascinating premise combined with a complex, layered plot, insightful characterization and agile storytelling make for a winning read. Intense and suspenseful, with touches of romance, humor and mysticism. (Kirkus Reviews)
Dodd slowly ratchets up the suspense level to the breaking point, while introducing readers to the diverse and quirky characters who live in the small town, and Virtue Falls' claustrophobic atmosphere adds to the menacing sense of danger. With this nail-biting book, RITA Award-winning Dodd shifts the dial of her writing more to the suspense side, but the novel's sexy romantic core will still please her longtime fans. (Booklist, starred review)*
