Summary: CALLIE & THE DEALER AND A DOG NAMED JAKE
Review: Ms. Mills is herself a manager of a hotel restaurant on the Outer Banks
of North Carolina. She lives there with her husband Eddie. She is the
Edgar-winner author of the Judge Deborah Knott series This book begins when Callie finds a dead man in the walk in freezer of
the restaurant she manages. Then the story reverts back to 9 days
before this gruesome discovery. The Chef and Callie are in Sharkey's Bar where the Chef is trying to
convince her there are things missing from the stores of the restaurant.
Chef appears to be very drunk at the time, and maybe taking some drugs
as well. It soon becomes apparent that he is right, and also that there
are a lot of illegal drugs floating around . Callie and the Hotel
manager, Lily, begin a quiet investigation as to how, when, and where
the drugs are being made available. More and more it seems they are
being smuggled in with the frozen seafood for the restaurant, but who
is involved and how is it being done? There is a cast of characters all
of whom could be involved. And when Callie finds a dog and they, Callie,
the dog ,and Ice, Callie's cat, move into the shelter of the hotel
because of hurricane warnings, things begin to build to an exciting end. The body of Mac, one of the restaurant employees, was discovered in the
freezer, an attempt to push Callie off the roof, and a fast approaching
hurricane as well as the involvement of the dog named Jake will keep
the reader turning the pages. I thought the action was a little slow at first, but when the body is
found and the suspicions are rampant among all the characters, I got
interested and was surprised at how it all came out. Review by: Ginny Welding

Summary: A Real Thriller
Review: This book has everything! A wonderfully troubled heroine running from her past, a body in the freezer, a killer on the loose and finally a hurricane to top it all off... It kept me on the edge of my seat and I cried at the end.

Summary: Great new series
Review: We have vacationed in Nags Head a lot over the last 6 years. I felt like I was right there again. This was a great first mystery. I look forward to reading the next in the series. Callie is a great character. She has a haunting past which by the end of the book she is starting to put behind her. I do hope that in future books she will start to make friends who can help her sleuth. A restaurant at Nags Head is a great location for a mystery series and look forward to a long running of this series. Highly recommend this book.
