This issue of amanda hazard is completely different from all previous ones. Amanda has a more ineresting plot to follow and is a more belivable character. The ending is unlike any other I have read by this author or any other author for that matter. I trully recommend this book and this series to everyone.

This is the second Amanda Hazard book I have read and I enjoyed it just as much as Dead in the Melon Patch. My only regret is that I didn't find this author before her other books went out of print. I'm looking forward to her newest which is due out soon.

This book was a great disappointment. The author has taken the main character, Amanda, and changed her out of character from the other 4 books. I felt cheated in this book. In the other 4 books, I laughed out loud in many parts, with this book I did not laugh. It was like reading a soap opera. The previous 4 books I could not put down, this book was hard to finish. Even the ending was a disappointment. In the other 4, the endings were wonderful, this one was just frustration. I hope in the next book, the author puts Amanda back in character and with Thorn.

I picked up this bood at a used book stare for about a nickel, and I spent too much. I laughed out loud many times as I was reading, but not at the authors witticisms... I fear I was laughing instead at her poor writing! How many times per chapter can one man be referred to as a young Clint Eastwood, or one truck as a gas-guzzler?? It seems that Ms. Feddersen thinks up one way to describe something and then just drives her point into the ever prevelent mud. The writing throughout feels stitled and contrived. The plot and characters are adequate... but only if one can get past the fact that Ms. Feddersen would have done well with a ghost writer to deliver her clever ideas in a more palatable form.
