In Nowhere to Hide, author Joan Hall Hovey has created a riveting thriller that will leave you breathless as psychologist Ellen Morgan puts her own life at risk. She is playing a dangerous cat and mouse game in order to ferret out the murderer of her younger sister.

Hovey is a master of this genre- her fast-paced writing style escalates the tension, compelling the reader to keep turning pages. Her characters are multilayered- full of flaws and demons - the kind of people you have to care about. Ellen in particular is wonderfully developed. The tragic car crash that took her parents' lives, the premature death of her husband and then the horrendous murder of the young sister almost send her into a tailspin of depression. But this is a woman with great inner resources who finally decides to focus her energies into capturing the vicious serial killer - no matter what risks she has to take.

Nowhere to Hide is a book I highly recommend to anyone who loves suspense. Just lock your doors and keep the lights on for this one.
