5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced Mystery Thriller December 31, 2011

By Jacqueline Seewald

Format:Paperback

The action in this mystery novel is nonstop. There are many twists and turns in the plot and I confess to reading quickly to find out what would happen next. This is as much of a fast-paced thriller as a mystery novel. It starts in a Rocky Mountain blizzard in Wyoming. Dana Logan is on her way to discover who murdered her sister Georgi. Her sister was a wealthy woman married to a younger man. Dana and her friend Sarah begin an investigation which leads them in unexpected directions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review: Diary of Murder April 29, 2009

By Mary E. Trimble

Format:Kindle Edition

Distraught over her sister Georgi's mysterious death, Dana Logan and friend Sarah drive an RV through a snowstorm to her sister's home in Wyoming. Dana dismisses the theory that her sister committed suicide-Georgi loved life too much to even consider taking her own.

Arriving at her sister's home, Dana and Sarah have immediate reservations about Rob, the "grieving" widower. A cremation is scheduled too quickly and a housekeeper is already boxing up her sister's belongings. It's only been two days since Georgi died and these actions make it appear there is reason to cover up evidence. Dana finds her sister's diary and a winding, treacherous story begins to unfold.

Although Dana and Sarah have played amateur detectives before, this case taxes even their creative and persistent skills. Dana's talented daughter soon joins them and together the three take on what becomes a dangerous investigation.

Mead does a masterful job in taking her readers down dark treacherous paths of betrayal, deceit and greed. Many people are involved in this suspense thriller--there's much more to the story than the death of Dana's sister. Many characters take part in the story, yet Mead keeps them sorted out, making Diary of Murder a riveting, satisfying read.
