"A killer thriller!" — Jan Herman, Arts Journal "Relentless tempo ... sharp writing." — Kirkus Reviews "Creole-flavored suspense!" — The Sun Chronicle
I love Frank Renzi!! “Fleet does a great job with the New Orleans backdrop. Details she includes set the mood of the scenes. Fleet also developed the killer extremely well. Kudos to Ms. Fleet for a first-rate debut novel!” — Amazon reader Priest on the run! “This book just wouldn't let me put it down. It was a thriller!” — Amazon reader
Really enjoyed this one “I am always looking for new thriller writers. This one’s a keeper. Having spent time in New Orleans this was also more interesting to me because of the places in the book. It was a thriller for sure.” — Amazon reader Just, really, a very good read... “Even though we know the culprit, how or when will he be caught before someone else is killed? That, and the main character's personality kept me interested and entertained throughout the book!” — Amazon reader
