Murder in the Northwest

This is an extremely well-written novel that moves along quite rapidly. The chapters are fairly short, so that the reader can put the book down (if he or she findss that possible) after just several pages, and continue reading later. I couldn't do that: I was hooked from the initial murder, and read my way all the way through it until the (expected, by me) ending. The characters well fairly well drawn, and the author creates quite a bit of sympathy for the female protagonist. If you want to spend some hours being captivated by a tremendous thriller, you will do well to pick up this book!

Another Christopher Lane passionate rendition

Her discovery of a priceless earring in the debris of her murdered brother's trashed home leads her deeper into a spiraling case involving murder, deception and power.

Awesome, exhilarating page-turner

Someone is murdered early in the first chapter. Immediately, you want to know why. The chapters flip between Robert and Elizabeth Meyers and Dana Hill, seemingly unrelated stories. However with many twists and turns their stories become one. Dana Hill divides her time between being a busy associate at a law firm, and being a good mother to her beloved daughter. Her marriage is not what it once was. Her husband has always struggled with the fact that Dana was the better lawyer. Her brother James gave up a law career to teach. He had never been happier albeit for calling Dana saying they needed to talk. They never did before James was killed. Dana herself is in and out of the doctor's office. Robert and Elizabeth Meyers seem like the golden couple before their lives unravel. An exciting thriller to read and recommend.
