Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
This contemporary suspense story, set in Florida, features a strong young adult facing the issues of identity, mortality, and survival after kidnappers mistake her for a celebrity. The boating community known as Loopers play a key role in the story.
This is the third book in the Compass Crimes series, which is a collection of stories linked by an ensemble cast of characters. Each book can stand alone. Each book features a different heroine and a life-changing crime. The stories are linked by the alliances, friendships, and occupations of the characters common to the stories. While some of the stories contain a romantic subplot, some do not. In the aftermath of each crime, the relationships between these characters grow deeper and stronger.
Synopsis
A finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, Bronze award winner in the Royal Palm Literary Awards, a semi-finalist in the CLUE (Mystery, Suspense and Thriller) Awards and the Kindle Book Awards, West of Famous is the third book in the Compass Crimes series. Set in Florida, this suspenseful crime story includes a community of people who live on their boats. Known as Loopers, this floating community is united through their love of boating and America's Great Loop Cruisers Association (AGLCA). Paul and Caryn Frink, members of the AGLCA, hosted me on their boat Seeker during my research in Florida and later at a book signing on their boat in Norfolk Virginia at the AGLCA convention.
