Critic reviews

"The inner lives of the main characters and most of the supporting cast are well sketched." ( Publishers Weekly)

Two thumbs up from Htown

I didn't know this book was set in Houston, but when I heard the names of familiar streets and parts of towns, I immediately perked up. This was an OUTSTANDING book that made me feel proud to call Houston home. Excellent plot, character development and visual clues. The language flowed effortlessly, making an enjoyable read. Kudos to the author.
