Search - Guilty as Sin (Deer Lake, Bk 2)

I enjoy the characters in all of her books, she's able to write strong women without making them over masculine & tough men with great personality. She's very good at creating twists & turns that keep you guessing everytime you turn the page. Not as good as Ashes to Ashes or Dust to Dust, but worth checking out.

a cold blooded kidnapper has been playing a twisted gam in a minnesota town. Now a respected member of the community stands accused of a chilling act of evil. But when a second boy disappears.....is the nightmare continuing or just beginning.


Accomplished and scary. Hoag has written romance for years(yuck) but now has changed her tune and i love her new song.

a chilling study of evil that holds the reader until the shocking surprise ending.

I was hooked immediately and it became an obsession to get to the end! I've read just about all of Hoag's books and this one doesn't disappoint. I had an idea of who the shady character(s) were, but I was still shocked how it all played out. I did feel some things were left unanswered, but I guess it was to be expected...leaving questions for the reader to ponder/decipher and come up with our own answers, maybe?

Hoag's books are always good for some really horrific crimes and just regular people trying to make sense of them. The main female is perfectly plausible although the male lead character was less so. In any case a good read.

This is a good book I will be reading more by this author for sure. Her books take you right in...
