I didn't like the book in the beginning, and maybe I'm just not used to people responding the way they do in the book. However, I did start liking it once I read deeper. I think it was a good book, and I didn't guess the killer exactly until two or three chapters before they let it out. I didnt put together a hint I realized at the end of the book either!!!!
This story takes place in Toussaint, Louisiana. Ellie Bryon owns a book store in Toussaint. Her friend and neighbor, Joe Gable, is an attorney. Several years ago a woman was killed with an ice pick during Mardi Gras that Ellie witnessed and now another woman has been killed. The killer of the first woman is in jail but has escaped. Ellie is terrified and turns to Joe for help. I couldn't get real attached to Joe for some reason but this is an okay mystery.
I found this be a very good book. Easy to read, guessed the killer too far early in the book. First time reader of Cameron's and will definitely be reading more of her books.

Stella Cameron was born and raised on the southern coast of England where she met her American husband at a party in London. After their marriage, she left England and went with husband Jerry to Washington State to make a home and raise a family. Like many authors, Stella began her literary career as a reader. As a young girl, Stella was a show more self-professed reading "addict", devouring all types of literature. She learned very early to retreat from the demands of others into a gentler world -- her own. As a child and a young adult, books saved her because they helped free her while they entertained her. Her love of reading always went side-by-side with her love of writing. Nineteenth-century author Jane Austen was a particular favorite, and Stella admits that she particularly enjoys reading and writing books set in the 1800s, as well as contemporary novels. In 1980, Stella decided she wanted to write professionally. She attended writing classes and wrote short literary fiction for a year. It was during this period that Stella discovered how well-written and intense romantic fiction could be. Using her newly acquired writing skills, she began to write contemporary romantic fiction for Harlequin Americans and Intrigues. After several years, she moved up to Harlequin SuperRomances. In 1992, she made the switch to single titles with her first historical, Only By Your Touch. She has also authored a series entitled Rossmara Quartet along with several other romance titles. Stella Cameron sees herself as an entertainer and historian who adds her perspective to contemporary values through writing. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
