About this title

Review

Manchee ... weaves his engaging plot through Swiss chalets, Caribbean marinas, Texas court rooms and captivating characters before twisting readers toward a curious conclusion. In this romantic mystery, Manchee's killer seem's so certain. Then a sail from the Bahamas turns it upside down. But what a ride along the way. Terrific take on temptation and contemporary consequences in Texas -- The Book Reader, Fall/Winter 1999/2000

A heart warming thriller. It was the most outstanding suspense romance I have ever read. She was a true woman and it was fun to read all the legal jargon. I couldn't put it down. Read it, you will go nuts. I even intend to let my husband and six-year-old (when she gets older) read it. They might learn something. - Dana, a 27-year-old lawyer from Dallas, October 11, 1999,  

 What a wonderful book!  William Manchee has written such a good book. Not only does he surprise the heck out of me with the ending, but he keeps you hooked with every page. His plots are fresh, the characters very unique, and his words seem to paint the pictures in my head. Move over Grisham and Turow, there is a new face in town... William Manchee! -  blanchb@softhome.net from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, October 2, 1999.
