Book Description

Series: Leigh Koslow Mystery | Publication Date: October 28, 2008

Leigh's cousin Cara was never told the real reason as to why her father abandoned her. But despite a lifetime wondering, she has no reason to connect with the father she never knew with the fact that her once-doting husband is suddenly lying to her-much less the lurking danger that threatens their own young son. But the connection is real, and Leigh is not about to be swept up in the middle of it... whether she wants to or not!"A nicely twisted tale.. light reading for a quiet evening."-I love a Mystery"A well-paced, solidly plotted mystery."--Mystery Reader

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! A real page-turner, October 22, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Never Kissed Goodnight (Paperback)

In this fourth outing for Leigh Koslow, the author has really hit her stride. The story held my interest from page one and kept me involved to the last page. The characters are likable, realistic, and well-developed. The plot is interesting, engaging, and keeps the reader turning page after page to follow the events as they unfold. Leigh and her cousin, Cara, are so well-developed, the reader can identify with their feelings and motivations. This is the best book in an excellent series that just keeps getting better.

In this 4th book in the Leigh Koslow Mystery series, Leigh once again finds herself in the midst of trouble. It all starts when her cousin, Cara, enlists her help in determining what Gil, her straight-laced husband, has been keeping from her. Leigh quickly learns that Cara's absent father is back in town, and tries to solve the mystery of his disappearance prior to Cara's birth. However, with the Koslow/Dublin families silent and with someone trying to blackmail the family, Leigh and Gil must get the answers out of Cara's father before everyone gets hurt. Add to this a kidnapping attempt, Leigh's new marriage to Warren, a political campaign, and a killer out for revenge and you have a typical week in the life of Leigh Koslow Harmon.

I enjoyed this latest installment immensely, even though I was initially shocked by Leigh's quick marriage (between books, no less) to Warren Harmon III. So if you are like me and start to panic on page 1 thinking you have missed a book, you have not. Other than that initial shock, I enjoyed the non-stop action in the book and the storyline involving Cara's father. This book is great for a quick read on a long weekend.

The first book in the series is "Never Buried". Enjoy!
