Fatal Recall by Carol J. Post | Review

The more that I read suspense novels, the more I develop a keen interest in reading more. Carol J.

He decided to use that dead time to have some fun. His kayaking adventure turned into an adventure ...

Author Heidi McCahan hit one of those "things" that I look for right away, and I didn't even realize it at first. The ...
