Something amazing always comes out of her

Another Joan Lowery Nixon book, they only seem to advance. Hate reading? Nixon makes sure you learn to love it! She's entertaining and at the same time thrilling. I've read two of her other books such as The Kidnapping of Christina Lattimore and Secret, Silent Screams and found them both spectacular! A Candidate for Murder was very fast pace, never dragging. Every time I picked the book up it was like a thriller roller coaster ride that I couldn't get off till I make it to the end. Nixon makes it so that you almost feel like your one of the characters, which leaves your heart racing. I really enjoyed reading this book. No wonder she's a Four-Time Edgar Award Winner who is always at her best!
