"An excellent suspenseful story!"

Joan Bateman is totally content with her life as an anonymous author of suspenseful mysteries for ten whole years. Only her agent Anthony Verdun at Prism Agency knows her secret that she is actually best selling author Jules Burrell. Then Anthony makes the mistake of firing his vindictive assistant who discovers who Joan really is and where she lives. Anthony knows that he must get to Joan before she finds out that she's been found out.

Joan is furious when she finds out but only because she is worried about what her parents and her sister Heather will think of her. Anthony tells her he will stick around and deal with public relations for a while to make sure things settle down. Then strange things start happening. It seems in Joan's last book she sort of borrowed a murder/suicide that happened in the little town of Indigo where she lives. The son, Samuel, doesn't believe his father murdered his mother and then killed himself. Joan took poetic license with the story and now it seems like she touched on a nerve somewhere because her house is broken into and her computer is stolen. Then Samuel's house is trashed as well. Is it a crazed fan or is there more to the story?

I stayed up way late because I just couldn't bear to go to bed before I found out exactly how the story played out. I don't know if I was more interested in the story between Joan and Anthony or the story between Heather and Samuel. This was an excellent story that held my attention from beginning to end!
