Stilted and predictable. Disappointed.
About the author
PAMELA CRANE is a professional juggler. Not the type of juggler who can toss flaming torches in the air, but a juggler of four kids, a writing addiction, a horse rescuer, and a book editor by trade. She lives on the edge (ask her Arabian horse about that—he’ll tell you all about their wild adventures while trying to train him!) and she writes on the edge. Her characters and plots are her escape from the real world of dirty diapers and cleaning horse stalls, and she thrives off of an entertaining tale.
She is the USA Today best-selling author of several thrillers, including:
THE KILLER THRILLER SERIES
A Secondhand Life
A Secondhand Lie
THE LITTLE THINGS THAT KILL SERIES
The Scream of Silence
The Art of Fear
The Death of Life
MENTAL MADNESS SUSPENSE SERIES
The Admirer’s Secret
A Fatal Affair
STANDALONE TITLES
Pretty Ugly Lies
See why Pamela's fans on Goodreads say, "Pamela Crane writes with passion; you can feel the emotions and inner feelings of her characters," and "She's an author that grabbed my attention."
