Exceptionally well-written, Edana Corbin has churned out an absorbing, but easy-to-read mystery for her readers. Lots of dialogue keeps the action moving along quickly; an interesting assortment of colourful and realistic characters come alive on the page; romance is in the air; and best of all, the plot just never stops unfolding: even the last sentence of the story throws readers an unexpected and definitely unforeseen curve ball. What a way to interest us in the second book of the Roxanne Boudreaux Trilogy. Can't wait to read it!
