This novel of the past events at the Blanche Hotel and surrounding area during the time of gangsters and the KKK will keep the reader turning pages. The gripping story of love in the face of danger on every hand draws the reader in and keeps you there. The reader can almost taste the fear in the young boys' mouths as they watch a body being dump into the sink hole.The frustration the sheriff's duty faces while trying to win the waitress leaps off the page. Her need to have everything perfect is infuriating. Wait until this is perfect! Wait until that is perfect! Wait, wait and wait some more. Wanting a dream instead of settling for reality could mean the difference between life and death. Will she seize the moment or will her hesitation allow the evil stalking the small town in Florida to overtake them?No wonder the modern day heroine was so obsessed with the story and wanted to track it to the end. With her own life in shambles, she turns to the past to solve a mystery and perhaps gain insight into life and love for herself. This debut novel is a winner. A must read for those who enjoy a by-gone era and today's reader is not left out when the heroine digs into the past. Can't wait until the next book is ready.
