This review is from: Fair Warning (Hideaway, Book 5) (Steeple Hill Women's Fiction #35) (Paperback)

Willow Traynor has it all, loving husband, a baby on the way and a job she loved as an ICU nurse. Then her husband is killed in a drug raid, a deliberate hit and run incident causes a miscarriage, and Willow, unable to cope, quits her job and moves to Branson, Missouri, to live with her brother, Preston. A fire destroys Preston's home, and the police think it was arson.

Graham Vaughn, local doctor, owns the lodge where they lived, and is Preston's boss. Willow is sure someone followed her from Kansas City and is trying to kill her, but her brother believes she is having illusions. Graham and his sister, Ginger, insist Willow stay with them in Hideaway, until Preston is able to leave the hospital, but even there the stalker can find her. Graham is attracted to Willow, but will his love be enough to keep her safe?
FAIR WARNING, set in the beautiful Ozarks, is another great addition to the Hideaway series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mystery Thriller, December 8, 2008

This review is from: Fair Warning (Hideaway, Book 5) (Mass Market Paperback)

Hannah Alexander has released the Mass Market version of Fair Warning, previously published as Dead of Night. This is the fifth in a series set in a small Missouri Ozark town by the name of Hideaway. Here, many people run to hide from life's ravages and find their way back to a comfortable place where they can start rebuilding their lives. But can you really run away from your problems, or will they follow you?

Young widow Willow Traynor thought she had it all--a loving husband, a baby on the way and a job she loved as an ICU nurse. Her faith in God is tested when her policeman husband is killed in a drug raid. Soon after, a deliberate hit and run causes her to miscarry a pregnancy. Willow, struggling to cope, quits her nursing job and moves to southern Missouri to live with her brother, Preston. A fire then destroys Preston's home and the police think it was arson with the clues pointing to Willow. Family, friends and even Willow herself are worried she may have inherited her mother's mental illness. Her trust issues make it hard to let people get close to her and she starts feeling paranoid--but just because you are paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you!

As an unknown stalker with increasingly violent tendencies gets closer to Willow, her courage is tested while new friends from Hideaway and Branson team up to help solve the mystery. The medical knowledge and skills portrayed, coupled with the very well defined characters make this a thriller that will have you identifying with the real as life characters. Fair Warning is one of the best written books in the Hideaway series and will leave you wanting to explore the places and people Hannah Alexander brings to life.

This review is from: Fair Warning (Hideaway, Book 5) (Steeple Hill Women's Fiction #35) (Paperback)

Fair Warning is full of suspense and is a book I found hard to put down once I started it. The Hannah Alexander team have done a good job of weaving in previous locations and characters and keeping you feeling you are in a somewhat familiar setting. The main characters are very real and their story keeps you wanting to know more about them.
