Leah Harper leaves behind the tragedy of her mother's suicide and heads west. Caught in a raging storm in sight of the Colorado Rockies, she takes refuge in a seedy motel only to be awakened by lightning and an ominous figure standing over her. A fast-paced mystery with danger, romance, and a Psycho-like setting.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An exciting quick read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Willing Hostage (Mystery Scene Book) (Paperback)
I originally read this book years ago and have my own copy to read again when ever I like. It was one of the first suspense thrillers I read with a woman as the lead character who is very flawed and real. I love her cat. I love the 'bad' guy who's not so bad. Most of all, as a person who grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado, I love her location!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book to read when you're feeling sorry for yourself.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Willing Hostage (Mystery Scene Book) (Paperback)
Here's a character who's on the mother of all pity parties. Not that she didn't have things bad growing up. But sometimes you have to go beyond feeling sorry for yourself. Push yourself further than you thought possible. Find out what you're really made of. And, sometimes, as for Leah, you need someone to push you. Someone to make you care about more than just yourself. The plot has as many twists and turns as any mountain road.

This review is from: Willing Hostage (Mystery Scene Book) (Paperback)
I forgot how different the 1970's are from today. I kept thinking the characters should have a cell phone. I loved the characters and enjoyed the adventure throughout the book. If you enjoy romantic / mystery give this one a chance.
