Publisher Description

The end of her high-profile broadcasting career came too soon for TV journalist Alison Reynolds—bounced off the air by executives who wanted a "younger face." With a divorce from her cheating husband of ten years also pending, there is nothing keeping her in L.A. any longer. Cut loose from her moorings, Ali is summoned back home to Sedona, Arizona, by the death of a childhood friend. Once there she seeks solace in the comforting rhythms of her parents' diner, the Sugarloaf Café, and launches an on-line blog as therapy for others who have been similarly cut loose.

But when threatening posts begin appearing, Ali finds out that running a blog is far more up-close and personal than sitting behind a news desk. And far more dangerous. Suddenly something dark and deadly is swirling around her life . . . and a killer may be hunting her next.

"I have found a new suspense/thriller author to enjoy! I liked that the main character was very current with her surfing of the Internet and blogging. There were a lot of twists and turns, and by the end I was ready for a resolution to the story, but overall very enjoyable."

— Tara (4 out of 5 stars)

    " My husband had to really encourage me to read this book, because he was reading the books by J.A. Jance, and I thought they were books for guys. When I began to read this book, it grabbed me right away. It does have some suspense in it, but it also has romance and just real people. I liked it very much, except for the ending. It just kind of drifts off, and didn't end the way I expected. "

    " Okay - this book had some good parts but didn't have much of a plot and wasn't particularly well written. If you're looking for a good thriller/suspense novel, you can do better than this. "

    " Though not quite what I expected, I did get caught up in the story. The internet element adds a lot on many different levels. The author has a real gift for instantly accessible characters, action and dialogue. The whodunit at the story's center was also a pleasant surprise. "
