Items related to UNSAFE HAVEN (3) (Mad Max Mystery)
Hospitals are supposed to be safe places. The one Maxine “Mad Max” Davies finds herself in is anything but safe.
Mad Max hopes her vacation with her grandson in New Mexico will be educational and relaxing. When her grandson breaks his leg on the first day, he is airlifted to a state-of-the-art Indian Health Services hospital for emergency treatment. Two days into his recovery, he falls ill from an unknown illness. Several children from the outlying community contract similar diseases. After some die, Mad Max thinks someone is deliberately infecting them with an unknown illness. Or illnesses, since symptoms do not point to a single diagnosis.
Unsafe Haven exploits every parent’s or grandparent’s biggest fear: how do I protect my family? Mad Max puts together clues with a large cast of characters to identify and stop the perpetrator before he can kill her grandson.

About the Author:
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Unintended Consequences
“If you like strong, sassy women, suspense, and a good mystery, you will love Unintended Consequences. Kudos to Betsy Ashton for a great read.” —Kathleen Grissom, NYT Best Selling Author of The Kitchen House and Glory Over Everything
“The fast-paced writing style draws the reader into the action. Ashton unfolds a unique story that tugs on your heartstrings, clenches your fists at the injustice that happens to the characters, and then lightens with a humorous quip to release the tension and sadness. I laughed. I cried. I didn’t want to put the book down until the very end.” —
Cherie Reich, Author of Elements Of Untethered Realms Series
“Ashton’s attention to detail, coupled with a terrific plot line with surprising twists, makes this read a terrific thriller. This book is not for the faint-hearted; it is a story that will keep you fully engaged until the very end. The author’s development of a strong, independent, female central character is refreshing and will appeal to men and women alike.” —Kimberly Dalferes, Author of I Was In Love With A Short Man Once and Magic Fishing Panties
“With Mad Max: Unintended Consequences Betsy Ashton has given us a fresh and original crime story. It’s a study of how one woman’s automobile accident sets in motion a series of events that no one could have anticipated (hence the “Unintended Consequences” of the title).” —Maggie King, Author of Book Group Mysteries
Uncharted Territory
“Mad Max is at it again―another “uppity woman” who can’t leave well enough alone. Just the way I like it.” —Mollie Cox Bryan, Agatha Award Finalist for A Cumberland Creek Mystery Series
“. . . a genre-bending tale of murder, suspense, chaos, and triumph.” —Michael Murphy,Author of Goodbye Emily
“I enjoyed the new characters here, namely the English tutor Max hired to homeschool the children and the two pastors from different sides of the track. The desolation of the area when they arrive is palpable, as is the menace that continually hovers over what’s left of the town. Another winner from Ms. Ashton!” —D.A. Spruzen, Author of The Blitz Business
“Missing immigrant workers, later found murdered, along with other violence and sinister stalkings require Max’s sleuthing abilities. Much local involvement with two Baptist preachers, an abusive Catholic priest and two cowering captives in his manse add to the action. A fast, engrossing read highlighting social ills that seem to couple with natural catastrophes.” —Susan Coryell, Author of The Overhome Trilogy
Betsy Ashton writes women's fiction and suspense with strong female protagonists. She is the past president of The Virginia Writers Club where she mentored writers. She is the author of the Mad Max Mystery series, Unintended Consequences and Uncharted Territory.
