Summary: MOVE OVER MARY HIGGINS CLARK...THE HEIR APPARENT IS HERE
Review: If you are a reader who enjoys novels of suspense, then surely you will find this one to be a rip-roaring good read. There are enough red herrings, enough twists and turns, to keep one guessing until the very end. So, hang on to your seat and enjoy the ride!The premise here is simple. Thirteen years ago, six teenage girls who had formed a secret club called the Six of Hearts, decide to let loose, drink, and dabble in a psuedo satanic ritual in a deserted farmhouse in Wheeling, West Virginia. Before the night is over, one of them ends up dead. The surviving five swear to a pact of secrecy to never reveal what really happened. Thirteen years later, one of them dies a violent death at the hand of an unknown person who leaves behind a clue that those who were members of the Six of Hearts club are at risk. Laurel Damron, a flower shop owner and one of the club members, begins to receive chilling mementos which can only mean one thing: that she, too, is marked for death. One by one, all the remaining club members claim to have received frightening mail which lead them all to the same conclusion as Laurel. Who will be next, and who is responsible for this? That is a question upon which the reader may well ponder, as the reader sifts through the byzantine twists in the plot. Gripping and absorbing, this novel is sure to hold the reader in suspense until the very end.

Summary: Good suspense
Review: Ms. Thompson has a way of keeping you guessing until the end. This is a story of 6 friends all different in their own way. When they were teenagers something awful happened and they kept the secret to themselves. Now several years later..someone knows what they did and wants revenge. Many twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. This is a excellent book.

Summary: A Great Suspense Thriller G.L pd 1
Review: Oh my goodness! I loved, loved, loved this book. I feel guilty setting it back on the shelf. I want to lend it out (and DID) to anyone and everyone who enjoys a GREAT mystery! Read it - during the day - with the lights on - and the doors locked! Oh, and it helps to have your dog by your side while you're reading it too! I'm ordering all of her other books now too. She's just too good to pass up!

Summary: Definitely not a book to read while alone!
Review: This book is a real page turner! But definitely one I would prefer not to read while I was alone in the house. After all, nice people are getting murdered & the murderer could be just about anybody-a long-lost mother, a former boyfriend, a crazy Bible toting father still grieving for his long-dead daughter, the dead girl's sister, Laurel's guy friend, or maybe it's someone she's just begun to trust. Then again, it could be none of the above. You won't know until the end. By then, everyone is on your list of suspects. Laurel Damron is a 30-year old single woman who lives with her two dogs in the house where she grew up in Wheeling, W. Virginia. Her parents vacated the house when they moved to Florida & left her to run their, busy floral shop. What nearly no one knew, however, was that Laurel has a secret-along with five other girls. Thirteen years earlier they had formed a club. They called it "The Six of Hearts". This club was different from the usual teenage clubs. They dabbled in Witchcraft. One night something happened, something so awful that they vowed never to tell anyone. They've all gone separate, diverse ways, but now someone wants them dead. The story begins with the first murder & the murderer's MO: A six, a heart & alongside, a Tarot card known as the "Judgment card". It leaves little doubt who the targets are, & each member of the group knows she could be next. You'll find yourself having a hard time putting this book down. Having said that, I felt that the writing wasn't as good as some I've read lately. Little things like, "She pulled the car up to the two-story colonial house." made it sound as though the author was writing for a younger age level. (Most people would just say two-story colonial.) It seems redundant. I never actually felt that I'd been to Wheeling, W.V.--not the way I feel when I come away from other authors' books, i.e., Nevada Barr or Rita Mae Brown. I realize this is nitpicking though & really doesn't diminish the story's ability to frighten & to keep you turning pages.
