She's holding an old grudge and resents having her life interrupted.

The brother doesn't come looking for trouble, he simply wants to get past his Philadelphia divorce and start a new life in Florida, but woman-trouble comes looking for him.

Unfortunately, he arrives in the small Florida ocean side town just as someone murders the local gubernatorial candidate. The brother doesn't have a clue about women and gets seduced and framed.

The brother hasn't bothered with his estranged sister up north for years, but now as a stranger in a hostile town she's his only hope. She reluctantly decides to at least check out her brother's predicament in Florida.

This small step leads the sister into an ever-increasing entanglement of deceit, double-cross, and danger, as she can't leave well-enough alone and goes after the real killer in this fast-paced mystery.

The first book in the Sandy Reid mystery series. THE PRICE OF CANDY is the second, and SUCH WICKED FRIENDS is the third.

This was an entertaining book although the dialogue was occasionally clunky and weird. Good ending.

This had everything I love in a book: Florida wierdness; a strong female character; suspense; humor. A great read. I'll be reading more of Hoisington's books.

So far this has been awesome, I have enjoyed reading it, however The GD word really isn’t necessary. I mean use the F word or something. I understand not everyone has faith in God or believes in him but when writing something to catch the public’s eye at least think of it both ways. Just respect the issue. I love to read but when I was reading this chapter I was just going along and then before I knew it I was forced to read this word. Now I’m unsure of the rest of the book containing this which makes me not want to continue. In the same gesture you’re a great writer and I would like to know the rest of the story. I’m not criticizing I just know if I feel this way a lot of other people do to.

Thank you for the opportunity to give feedback. Also if you could reassure I won’t see that word again I would like to continue the book.

Thank you,
