⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“A well written, suspenseful, fast pasted murder mystery with the unique complication of a hurricane. I loved the vivid descriptions stimulating a sensory or emotional response…A strong, haunted, intelligent female protagonist who is reckless at times. Her partner is equally competent and supportive.”

Customer Reviews
Prone to Kill
Try as I might, I could not finish this book!
The same old cliched prose - testament, white knuckles, fingers flying over keys, fixation with fluorescent lights, the dead or missing family member
The story starts with the first murder, then two more, then as if by magic our hero(es) discover the “evidence “ to reveal the culprit and arrive just in time - albeit with much padding and over-descriptive prose - to save the fourth victim
Sound familiar?
NOT a thriller nor a psychological suspense
Go back to writer’s school or better still get a real job
