#1 BEST SELLING MYSTERY AMAZON eBOOK (MARCH 2012)* MANY MONTHS ON THE AMAZON LIST OF BEST-SELLING MYSTERY SERIES There are approximately one-hundred-and-sixty million women living in America. This is a story of just one woman. As the story unfolds Linda gradually learns that some people do deserve to die, but that she is not one of those people.Linda Darby is a seven-year divorcee, living … divorcee, living quietly in a small let-the-world-go-by beach town on the coast of Oregon, who day trades for a living. Her only close friend is a widowed elderly woman who manages a small consulting company, which, as is later discovered, never has visitors, sends and receives its business correspondence only by courier, and is not listed in any phone directory. No one in town knows what kind of consulting the company does, but the rumor is that whatever they do is done for the government.
Linda doesn’t date local men. When her celibacy grows intolerable, she visits nearby towns to frequent the watering holes of successful men. Her motto: No relationships. No second dates. No use of her real name during one-night stands.
Then one evening, Linda goes for a walk and nothing for her is ever the same. She is dragged into an alley by two men, but saved by a third, a stranger who disappears as suddenly as he appeared. The next day she finds out the two men in the alley had been killed, the town’s first murders ever. The following day she learns that hours before she had been dragged into the alley, her close friend was tortured and killed. The next night, she awakens several hours after going to bed to find a man sitting in her bedroom, watching her.
In the days that follow, events stretching all the way to the nation’s capital change who Linda is, what she thinks, and how she will live the rest of her life.

This was an interesting read with some detours from a typical storyline. However, the ending took the easy way out rather than a surprising resolution.
A little cheesy and unbelievable.
Great read start to finish!
Did not finish, did not hold my interest
Lovely read. Nicely paced action and well-developed characters. Would read more by this author
This was different in a good way. The story held my interest and it seemed very timely in today’s political world. There were some holes in the story, but all in all it was a good read.

Enter a small coastal town with a …
Implausible plot and unconvincing characters.
Was a surprise!
Great read
Too much information and details about the sexual activity. Needs to use more discretion and be more subtle. Sex takes away from the plot. And I just hate chapter books.
Great page turner and very interesting and can not put down.
Super good book keep you page turning constantly
Fun book, great summer read.
This novel grabbed my interest at the very beginning and didn’t let go. There was a totally different twist to the ending that I didn’t see coming. Totally enjoyable.
