One widow,
one killer--who will die first?
Gutsy,
grieving Anna is determined to find who murdered her husband. Hampered by
agonizing loneliness, her obsessive-compulsive mother, and her over-controlling
father, she defies convention and the law to investigate on her own. When she
runs up against a handsome police detective who’s determined to save Anna from
herself, she has to step up her rogue search for the killer before time, and
dwindling leads, runs out.

While
growing up, going to libraries felt like an adventure filled with mystery and
wonder to Debra. The hushed tones invoked secrets, and the dusty, sometimes
moldy scent of paper smelled like perfume. Leaving the library with just a
single book never happened. Years later, her love of reading turned to passion
for writing. Debra’s an award-winning artist who lives in southern Arizona
where the average summer temperatures are truly hot enough to fry an egg on the
sidewalk.

A
Strange Twist of Fate has a heroine, Anna, who is systematic and
single-minded about finding the person who murdered her husband. I enjoyed the
way the author developed this character, someone with surprising strengths and
self-taught talents in spite of the opposition she faced. She also has her
insecurities, several based on her family’s weaknesses. I also enjoyed the
hero, Lee Adams, as he reaches out to protect her in spite of facing his own
problem with trying to finalize a divorce. Other secondary, and even tertiary
characters such as some of the law enforcement personnel, lawyers, Anna’s
parents, and shady characters I to be believable. They enhanced the story. I
enjoyed how this Anna developed her crew of undercover informants, and how she
gave back to make their lives better. Then there was the private investigator.
She didn’t show up until the end, but she was one of those “twists” in the
book. Another twist was how Anna, an intelligent young woman who married rather
than getting her college degree, found her true professional calling.
As much as the characters were well-written and kept me
turning pages, the plot was, as the title implies, full of twists. A reader who
believes this story is one-dimensional is in for a treat. There are images of
DNA strands on the cover. The role they play are different than what I first
guessed they would as part of a murder mystery. The more Anna and Lee work
towards a resolution, the more the two run into twists. Dangers that arise are
not of the nature as they first appear to be. The biggest threat to Anna comes
from an unexpected source. The story was not predictable, which I really liked.
This book is a well-written romantic suspense/murder
mystery with sweet romance elements. The language is mild. I recommend it to
anyone who enjoys a good read by a
talented author.
