A Mystery Thriller

Hannah Alexander has released the Mass Market version of Fair Warning, previously published as Dead of Night. This is the fifth in a series set in a small Missouri Ozark town by the name of Hideaway. Here, many people run to hide from life's ravages and find their way back to a comfortable place where they can start rebuilding their lives. But can you really run away from your problems, or will they follow you? Young widow Willow Traynor thought she had it all--a loving husband, a baby on the way and a job she loved as an ICU nurse. Her faith in God is tested when her policeman husband is killed in a drug raid. Soon after, a deliberate hit and run causes her to miscarry a pregnancy. Willow, struggling to cope, quits her nursing job and moves to southern Missouri to live with her brother, Preston. A fire then destroys Preston's home and the police think it was arson with the clues pointing to Willow. Family, friends and even Willow herself are worried she may have inherited her mother's mental illness. Her trust issues make it hard to let people get close to her and she starts feeling paranoid--but just because you are paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you! As an unknown stalker with increasingly violent tendencies gets closer to Willow, her courage is tested while new friends from Hideaway and Branson team up to help solve the mystery. The medical knowledge and skills portrayed, coupled with the very well defined characters make this a thriller that will have you identifying with the real as life characters. Fair Warning is one of the best written books in the Hideaway series and will leave you wanting to explore the places and people Hannah Alexander brings to life. by Rhonda Esakov for Story Circle Book Reviews reviewing books by, for, and about women

Good book!

Fair Warning is full of suspense and is a book I found hard to put down once I started it. The Hannah Alexander team have done a good job of weaving in previous locations and characters and keeping you feeling you are in a somewhat familiar setting. The main characters are very real and their story keeps you wanting to know more about them.

Relentless Stalking

Fair Warning, begins after ICU nurse Willow Traynor's nearly perfect life in Kansas City has been blown apart. He police officer husband has been killed in a drug raid, but it is not clear who actually fired the shot that killed him. Then she maintains she was deliberately run down by a hit and run driver and miscarried her dead husband's child. Going into a state of hiding, Willow quits her job and moves in with her brother in Branson. The reader comes see that her inability to get close to people and has trust issues, may not be helping her, in fact may be making her the perfect target. Trouble follows when an arsonist sets a fire that destroys her brother Preston's home and nearly kills him. Graham Vaughn, a local surgeon, owns the lodge where Preston was the manager. Willow believes the killer has followed her. Preston, has worries that Willow may not be entirely rational, because their mother had a mental illness and he fears it might be manifesting in Willow. Graham and his sister Ginger get Willow to stay at their home in Hideaway until Preston is able to leave the hospital. As it turns out this is the same house where Dr. Cheyenne Allison found refuge in the first book of this series. Soon it becomes evident the stalker has followed her to Hideaway. The book is both chilling and exciting as the stalker is obviously relentless.

Hannah Alexander is Great!

I can't get enough of Hannah Alexander's books. This one is especially good. The characters are real, and the author keeps you turning pages to see what happens next. I can't recommend this team highly enough. I always read Hannanah Alexander books start to finish in less than two days. Having worked in an allied health field for decades I love the medical orientation, and the medical knowledge shows. Kudos to a wonderful writing team.
