Readers Respond

 

“Past Suspicion is a riveting mystery that will keep readers turning pages.  An outstanding effort by a first-time novelist!"
      -- Regina Doman, author of The Shadow of the Bear: Snow White and Rose Red Retold.

 

“Past Suspicion is billed as a suspense for young adult readers, yet Heckenkamp’s style would be welcome by older fans of thrillers as well.  In Robin, Heckenkamp creates a believable heroine, frustrated with the direction her life is taking, clucking at the bad choices made in her mother’s young life (as read in Tiffany’s diary), yet making similar choices due to her naivete.  The mystery behind the Kurselli [changed to “Ingerman” for historical reasons in final draft] Mansion and whether or not a treasure lies within provides the stimulus to escape the monotony of rural life, and concludes with an interesting twist.  Past Suspicion is a remarkable debut with great voice.”
   -- Kathryn Lively, author of Saints Preserve Us: an Ash Lake Mystery and Dangerous Words.
