Judith French (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2007

Tawes is an island in the Chesapeake Bay, a quaint fishing village, and a place with a long and often violent history. The island culture is one of secrets, and Tawes hides many, including an ancient Indian burial ground. For Buck Davis, returning to his boyhood home as Chief of Police, he's faced with a vicious murder, a mysterious drowning, and the islanders' belief in a Nanticoke curse. Smart and sexy archeologist, Abbie Night Horse has the chief tied in knots, but as a mainlander, she will never understand the dangerous undercurrents of the isolated Eastern Shore Community. In Abbie's demands for justice and her belief in love, she underestimates a truth that could destroy them both. On Tawes, nothing is more powerful than Blood Ties.

I really enjoyed this book overall. I liked the setting, as it is a fictious island near my community. Once I "bought into" the main characters, I was excited to continue reading to unravel the mystery. Although a little predictable, Judith French throws a few twists that keep the reader guessing. I like her wrtitng style and the local lore intertwined in the novel.

Judith French never fails to deliver a great read...and this one is a keeper. It's filled with interesting characters and lots of suspenseful twists and turns. And the imagery is stirringly realistic; I could smell the salt in the air, hear the gulls lonely call, see the marsh reeds of Tawes Island. I highly recommend this book.

As usual, French weaves an intriguing plot with memorable characters. The story pace is perfect, yet French manages to create vivid imagery and character development. If you'd like to take a vacation, just pick up this copy of French's latest novel. You'll swear that you're on the Eastern Shore in the midst of a crime.
