Book Reviews of Amethyst Dreams

After answering a cry of help from her grandfather's friend, she disappears from home.Enter Nick and his
suspicious family. Lured into the mystery she finds bitterness, betrayal and menace.

For several years, time and circumstance have managed to separate Hallie Knight and her old friend Susan Trench, but when Susan disappears from her grandfather's seaside home on historic Topsail Island, it is Hallie whom Nicholas Trench calls for help. When Hallie arrives from California, she finds the old man surrounded by an odd collection of friends and relatives, all of whom seem to know a little more than they're willing to tell about Susan Trench and her last days on Topsail. Underlying Hallie's anxiety about Susan as well as her growing concern for Nicholas Trench is the personal problem of her estrangement from a husband she loves. Threads intertwine and questions build to the pitch of what may be a fearful answer.

This was a pretty good book. Good characterization and it takes place in an unusual place -- a barrier island off the coast of North Carolina. The plot kept me reading.

Another one that is great for light reading.
