Debra Webb (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 30, 2009

When Dr. CJ Patterson returns to her Southern hometown, she finds herself surrounded by a series of long-buried secrets—and a killer who seems to know her better than she knows herself…

Drugs, prostitution, robbery, homicide—these are four terms that Dr. CJ Patterson learned all too well growing up on the seamy, forgotten streets of inner-city Huntsville, Alabama. Fiercely determined, CJ worked hard to forget where she came from and become an emergency medicine resident at a prestigious Baltimore hospital. But when her younger sister—the only family she ever had—is murdered, CJ is drawn back into the painful past she thought she’d left behind. Her unrelenting investigation uncovers a highly sophisticated web of shocking family secrets, dark obsession, and brutal violence and a killer who will stop at nothing to keep her from learning the truth…..

Review

"Everywhere She Turns is romantic suspense at its best." --Erica Spindler, New York Times bestselling author of Breakneck

“Debra Webb crafts fine, twisting thriller[s] to be savored and enjoyed.”— New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham

"Braddock is a protective, driven hero... [and] C. J. is stubborn and goes out of her way to put herself in dangerous situations. Together, they are very hot though. And the mystery has plenty of twists, turns and surprises to keep the reader guessing until the very end." --RomanceJunkieReviews.com 

"Ms. Webb brings us another edge of your seat story. Just when you think you know the who, what, when and why, something else pops up to change your mind. The amount of suspense and romance is a perfect balance. I started this book and just could not put it down. Be on the look out for Detective Adeline Cooper's (whom you meet in this story) story, Anywhere She Runs, coming soon." --Night Owl Romance

"[An] entire exhilarating whodunit... Fans will relish this one-sitting, chilling thriller as villains seem to own the city." --Harriet Klausner

“Webb does a superb job of creating white knuckle suspense. Her characterization brings the townsfolk into sharp focus, and draws the reader into every chilling scene. The raw tension between CJ and Kevin is stretched to the limit… [and] plot twists and false leads keep the reader in a quandary while the killer hides in plain sight.” –ReadertoReader.com

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Very Good, March 28, 2010

This review is from: Everywhere She Turns (Mass Market Paperback)

Why does Debra Webb write her heroines so completely arrogant and unlikeable? It really takes away from the enjoyment of reading her books when you find yourself hoping the murderer will kill the heroine off because she's so insufferable. Thus was the case with CJ.

I also thought the identity of both the murderer and the "widow" were obvious, mainly because they were the only characters left who hadn't been killed off.

Quite disappointing all around.

First Debra Webb really knows how to write a suspensful book up until the end.
At first the relationship between CJ and Braddock is strictly professional. It becomes so much more. He tries to help her find the person who killed her sister. One night CJ is at her house and someone is in her sisters room. She gets so freaked out that she leaves the house and runs right into Braddock chest where he holds her...And then the steamie part comes between the two if them. He always is there to protect her.

You just have to get this book you will not be sorry. You must read Anywhere She Runs.

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Everywhere She Turns (Mass Market Paperback)

Dr. C.J. Patterson is a resident at a John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. However, she goes home to Huntsville, Alabama for the funeral of her sister Shelley. Her sibling never escaped the street life of drugs and became a hooker to pay for her habit; and now she paid with her life as someone murdered Shelley.

C.J. vows to bring justice to her last known family member and believes the cops couldn't care less about a dead prostitute. C.J. assumes Shelley's pimp Ricky Banks killed her. She takes a medical position at a clinic so she can continue her inquiries. Huntsville police detective Braddock leads the official investigation, but believes Ricky's boss Nash is behind the murder and much more. However, someone else is stalking the crime king as those associated with Nash are being killed; this person is considering widening the scope of the serial killing field to include the "bitch doctor".

Adding to the externally dark gritty atmosphere that permeates the entire exhilarating whodunit is Huntsville, a city known for science especially space leaving the audience unprepared for a walk down the seedier side of town. The heroine is obstinate and driven with some guilt as she wonders if she could have dome something else to pull her sister from the streets. Fans will relish this one sitting chilling thriller as villains seem to own the city.
