The book, The Thickest of Blood is a rewriitten and expanded version of my first release For Sale by Owner, A Trilogy of Terror. My style is to create a fast paced thriller with twisting plots and quickly developing story lines. I have a numer of recurring characterss who will make apperances in future works. A serial killer terrorizes a small town in north central Ohio. Mary Ann Baily, Chief of Police, is taken on a roller coaster ride of emotions throughout the four sections of this book, which will all give the reader the satisfaction of four emotion packed endings. I think this is a great book to take on a road trip because it is a quick read through all four sections. About the author: A retired rural mail carrier from Sandusky, Ohio, I have raised and shown Arabian horses and Great Dane dogs.
