When untraceable e-mails threatening her family flood her computer, she is compelled to find the potential murdererbefore her family is killed. As a psychotherapist, Cassidy is used to dealing with people in crisis. When the crisis is hers, she discovers her own fears take over her life.

"Deaths Domain" is a compelling book. The characters are well conceived, and the story is compelling. She must call upon all her training as a therapist to discover the potential killer. The startling discovery of the real miscreant and the motive behind the terrorizing threats is a satisfying end to this mystery.

I highly recommend this book to mystery lovers. It is a MUST for cat lovers.

Psychotherapist Cassidy McCabe faces the fear of losing that which she holds most dear when the past catches up to the present. For years Cassidy has blamed herself for Barbara's death. She had come home unexpectedly, finding her best friend inebriated and in bed with her first husband. Outraged, Cassidy kicked Barbara out. Unfortunately, the drunken Barbara died on the way home, leaving Cassidy with guilt and a disintegrating marriage.

Years later, on the anniversary of Barbara's death, a stalker promises retribution. An obituary appears in the local paper featuring Cassidy. Soon the ominous tone of the obituary continues with threatening email and an attempt on husband Zach's life. Determined to find answers, Cassidy and her husband set out to uncover the secrets of the past who still holds Cassidy responsible for Barbara's unfortunate death.

DEATH'S DOMAIN, the sixth Cassidy McCabe mystery, brings back a fabulous cast. Indeed, cozy mystery author Alex Matthews continues to dazzle readers with the irrepressible Cassidy, reporter husband Zach, and her mischievous calico Starshine. Cassidy's spunky grandmother and meddlesome mother likewise make their appearances, bringing wit and humor wherever they appear. As always, Mathews provides lots of action, a well-structured plot and plenty of twists to keep the pages turning. Although I enjoy hundreds of books a year, including many mysteries, Cassidy McCabe has managed to capture and hold my heart through the years like no other heroine. DEATH'S DOMAIN comes very highly recommended.

This is the sixth book in the Cassidy McCabe series. In this book
Cassidy, who is a psychotherapist, ends up feeling in need of therapy
herself when she opens the paper to read her own obituary. This happens
on the anniversary of a tragic event in her past that she realizes she is
going to have to face and tell her husband Zach about. As Cassidy faces
her own past, fears and guilt, an e stalker begins threatening the lives
of those she loves. Together Zach and Cassidy track down the stalker and
grow closer through this crisis.

I enjoyed this book with its twists and turns, but especially enjoyed the
relationships. Cassidy's intelligent and full of life grandmother has
been a favorite of mine since the first book I read in this series...
