This week, Susie Black’s Saturday Author Spotlight shines on romantic thriller author Susan Vaughan.
About the author in her own words…
I wanted to write as soon as I learned to read. My favorite books have always been mysteries and romances, so the mix of romantic thrillers was a natural. My stories throw the hero and heroine together under extraordinary circumstances and pit them against a clever villain. My books have been both a Romantic Times Magazine Reviewer’s Choice Nominee and a finalist for the Daphne du Maurier Award. I have also published two children’s picture storybooks, Sleigh Magic and Stowaways: A Maine Pirate Tale. I am a West Virginia native, but I have lived for many years on the coast of Maine.
Always a Suspect is one of Vaughan’s most prolific titles. Here is a blurb to whet your appetite:
After the deaths of two husbands and a fiancé, Claire Saint-Ange is branded the Widow Spider in her coastal Maine town. Tormented by threatening phone calls and desperate to prove her innocence, Claire hires a P.I., but her attraction to the rugged investigator poses an even greater threat. She can’t risk losing someone she cares about... not again. Never again.
Here’s what readers have to say about Always a Suspect:
Linda: “This story has you sitting on the edge of your chair. Claire and Quinn definitely have serious chemistry. There’s hot romance, suspense, murder, and drug smuggling. A lot of twists and turns to keep you hanging on. The two main characters are strong, feisty, and honest. This is an excellent, fast-paced, and action-packed story. A Non-Stop Page Turner.”
Pamela Mitchell: “This thrilling read immediately pulled me into the middle of all that was happening, and I held onto the edge of my seat through romance and intrigue. I couldn’t put the book down until the last word, and I loved it! Ms. Vaughan never disappoints, and I can hardly wait for the next book in the Task Force Eagle series.”
Brenda Chavers-Martin: “This mystery murder love story was absolutely great. The characters are strong and complicated, but intriguing. The plot twists kept me reading and trying to find the guilty person, but I couldn’t. I loved every word and was thoroughly surprised by who the killer was. I look forward to the next installment.”
RO G’MA: “Always a Suspect is a well-written, suspenseful romance with well-developed characters and an excellent plot. The action, suspense, intrigue, and mystery kept my interest. Ms. Vaughan did an excellent job describing the main characters and their backgrounds. This book has unexpected twists and turns that kept me captive until the very last page. I highly recommend this book.”
Rita: “I really enjoyed this book. It was full of excitement and so much more. I loved the main characters and how they developed into an interesting love relationship. I was unable to figure out the real killer. It is a great book. I will be following this author for more of her great writing.”
