ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Nancy G. West was a business major who returned to grad school to study English literature and discovered that writing fiction was a lot more fun than accounting. RISKY PURSUIT is the book she absolutely had to write.

She is also the award-winning author of Nine Days to Evil, psychological suspense, and the Aggie Mundeen Rom-Com Mysteries, each of which either won or was nominated for an award. The Plunge, lead-in to the new spin-off featuring Aggie in The Lake Mysteries, was a June 2019 pick by the American Library Association's Book Club Central.

    If you are going to read the Aggie Murdeen series, you really need to read this one first.
    I love her style of writing and her character development. Reminds me of my dear friend in mysteries...Agatha Christie! Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

    Suspense, it had some. Characters that you cared about, not so much. I felt rather meh about all the main characters. I also found there were way to many conveniences popping up in the story line. The plot was a little weak and the ending fizzled a little. Overall it was ok. So not bad but not great either. I will say it was well written, I didn't find any spelling errors. Although I did find an odd repeat of the word yellow. lol. A very quick read, read this while the Packers/Vikings game was playing on Sunday. Packers won, Yay!

    This was the second book by this author using the same characters in "Fit to be Dead." The first one was really good and I couldn't wait to read more by her, but this one was not as good. In fact, now I can't even remember what it was about.

    3 stars only because i'm one to like lots of action. There really isn't any until towards the end of the book. This is more of a missing person mystery. It is well written and read smoothly. It becomes obvious early on what has happened to the missing person. Predictable, lots of potential though. Keep writing!

    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2005
    Format: Paperback
    For Meredith Laughlin her life is almost perfect. Naive and wealthy, she is for the most part happily married to Dr. Conrad Laughlin, staff member of Methodist University Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. In addition to his hospital duties, he also sees private and clinic patients at locations some distance from San Antonio. He makes a circuit every week of a different area and uses San Antonio as his center point.

    As the book opens, he is on the road to see some of his patients and behind the wheel of his beloved Jag. Despite the thunderstorms in the area, he manages to get through to Meredith briefly on his cell phone. They only manage to connect for a minute or so and then Meredith hears her husband scream and what sounds like the noises of a violent car crash before she is cut off. She reports the incident and initially Texas Department of Public Safety Troopers can't find the car and have no record of a crash in the area. As the hours pass into days, Meredith takes the first tentative steps on along road in trying to find out what happened to her husband.

    For Conrad's partner, Dr. Key Walker, the disappearance ads a tremendous amount of work to his shoulders. In addition to everything else, Walker now has to cover Conrad's patients. Something that would be easier if the files were in the proper order and if some of them, made medical sense. This isn't the first time Conrad has done something odd and Key suspects something sinister is going on.

    Meredith is also beginning to wonder about her perfect husband. While she knows far less than Key, Conrad's behavior with her has been a little odd from time to time. As she begins to attend Grad School, she starts recognizing that her husband might not be all that he appears to be and that she needs to find him and get answers before moving on with her life.

    This is an enjoyable mystery featuring an interesting set of characters at the beginning of what appears to be a series. As the ripples of Conrad's disappearance touch other lives, the point of view shifts between those characters adding further dimension to this cozy style mystery. In so doing, the author creates a fuller, deeper work, while sacrificing none of the plot, pacing, and storyline points that make this novel an enjoyable read from start to finish.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2004
    Format: Paperback
    One phone call begins nine days of confusion and fear for young graduate student Meredith Laughin. The call from her new husband Conrad, driving to one of his medical clinic, is suddenly interrupted by the sounds of a crash that sends Meredith into a panic as she frantically attempts to force the police into finding him. As days pass, things look bleaker when Conrad's car is discovered submerged in a creek with no sign of his body anywhere. Just as terrifying for Meredith is the growing fear that she never really knew Conrad and that he may have been hiding secrets both horrifying and shocking. With little support from her parents, both who are enamored and admiring of Conrad, Meredith comes to lean on the investigating detective, widower Sam Vanderhoven, and Agatha Mundeen, a fellow graduate student in Meredith's psychology course. It is in this class that Meredith beings to see that Conrad may not have been the man she thought he was and instead may be a sociopath with a hidden agenda and a secret life. The couple that their friends labeled "Barbie and Ken" may have been anything but, as Conrad's wife and his fellow doctor at the hospital begin to see that his lies are covering something worse than they could have imagined.
    This mystery is as fascinating for its mystery and engaging characters as it is informative about sociopaths and Shakespearean literature. What West displays best is Meredith's progression from being a dependant daughter and wife to becoming a strong and assertive woman. West as well creates very real supportive characters, from Vanderhoven whose feelings for Meredith are based on the losses in his life, to Agatha, a woman who followed her heart to San Antonio. Conrad Laughin himself, who at first is ethereal and seen only in the eyes of others becomes more real and twisted as the reader begins to see his manipulations and goals. For a suspenseful mystery that keeps the reader glued to the page, look no further than Nancy West's Nine Days to Evil.

    Nine Days to Evil has a plot that carries you on and keeps you reading. It held my interest all the way to the end and left me wanting to see her next book. The characters are interesting and believable. This is a good, fast read. Glass skillfully enriches the book with ideas from Othello and from psychology classes taken by the major character.
