Editorial Review by S. Peters Davis

The story begins in 1932, when Rietta Nicholson finds out her husband's car, with him inside, was discovered submerged in the Kennebecasis River. The realism of the characters and their daily lives throughout the story held my attention to every detail. The fear, anger, love, labor, etc., throughout their relationships, presented a colorful, suspenseful mystery, and a thrilling ending. An unputdownable read.

Eden Monroe loves giving voice to the endless parade of interesting characters who introduce themselves in her imagination. She writes about real life, real issues and struggles, and triumphing against all odds. A proud east coast Canadian, she enjoys a variety of outdoor activities and a good book.
