Customer Reviews

One of my favorite in the series

I love this series as I find them to be really easy reads. They have just enough suspense to keep my attention, with no gore or language, and they throw in a little romance for good measure. I highly recommend these books if you are looking for an easy read that will captivate your attention until the end.

Grave Risk

Another excellent book by the husband and wife team. Being a Missourian I love seeing references to areas around southwest Missouri. This story starts off with a murder within the first few pages and the story grabs you and keeps you until the end. I was thinking it was predictable at one point and that I knew who the killer was. Well, by the end I had a nice dish of crow when I found out I couldn't have been more wrong! Well worth the time!

More Than One At Grave Risk

Grave Risk, in the Hideaway series, begins with Edith Potts sudden death. Three doctors are in attendance, but nurse Jill Cooper thinks there is something not quite right, and so does her sister Noelle who has the gift of knowledge. For one thing, Edith gasped a few last words to Jill making her wonder if this death is related to a previous, long ago death, that was judged to be an accident. But was it? One thing I like about all the Hideaway books with Noelle is that her gift is well explained, in a non-superstitious way, but rather with biblical understanding. Dr. Rex Fairfield shows up and is one of the doctors in attendance when Edith dies. He had been engaged to Jill when he was a resident, but resented the time she gave to nurturing Noelle, who was a wild child back then. Now he seems more understanding and determined to pursue their relationship. Austin Barlow, the former mayor and another old boyfriend, has also returned to Hideaway to mend some fences. There are delightfully humorous scenes where Fawn, a former teenage runaway, now into hair cutting, fashion, and make-up, tries to give Jill a make-over. Then elderly Cecil, Edith's dearest friend, is found dead, also apparently an accident. However, when Jill receives school records giving clues to the wrongful death three decades ago, it becomes apparent that all these deaths were not the result of natural causes. And Jill finds herself at grave risk as well.

great suspense

When Edith Potts, beloved high school principal, died, Jill Cooper was there, and she knew everything possible had been done to save her friend. Edith's death was horrible, leaving everyone in a state of shock. Noelle, Jill's sister, who was born with a special intuition, suspects Edith's death wasn't from natural causes. Jill was once engaged to Dr. Rex Fairfield, but he resented the time she gave to Noelle, who needed her. Now Rex is back in town and seems determined to take up where they left off. Austin Barlow, another old boyfriend, has reeturned to Hideaway, which is another complication. When Jill inherits some school records that belonged to Edith, she finds information that makes it apparent that Noelle is correct. Someone killed her Edith Potts. Can the killer be found before he or she strikes again? The husband and writing team of Hannah Alexander has delivered another exciting, well-plotted story about down to earth characters caught in a dangerous spiral of death and destruction. Grave Risk is their best one yet.
