Two pretty great things happened for me yesterday. I learned I was Tirgearr's Best Selling Author and received a medallion designed for me to use for bragging purposes. And I got my first five-star review for the new release, Tormented. I'd call that a banner day.

Bluejayye rated a book it was amazing
Tormented by Susan Clayton-Goldner
I sound like a broken record when I say Susan has done it again - but - Susan HAS done it again! In her new book ‘Tormented’ she has managed to yet again pen another ‘can’t put the darn thing down’ murder/detective/mystery/thriller masterpiece. This book of hers (as were her others) is totally responsible for my absence from work and loss of sleep recently (I forgive you Susan). Once more the characters she has created for us in this book are fantastic. She colors the canvas of their lives with the genius of a true literary artist. The book revolves around several coexisting story plots with enough twists along the way to make you dizzy and a final major twist to throw your back out. Not to give too much away… 9 Yr. old Connie Wittier arrives home from school one day to find her mother, Rita, dead (appears to be suicide but later clues reveal may she have met a more sinister end). The investigating detective Paul Harley Stanwick is determined to uncover the true cause of death (tending to believe little Connie who knows mommy ‘would’t kill herself’). As the plot thickens we are drawn into the intricate web of possible suspects, each of whom struggles with their own personal issues/haunted pasts throughout the book. Is it the parish priest, Father Anthony, who was obsessed with his parishioner, Rita, and professed his love to her on the day she was found dead? Was it Rita’s unfaithful high-powered lawyer husband, Konrad ? Was it Daphne Simone, her competition for a job as a lounge singer?…Was her own brother, Gordon, the cause due to his dark secret she uncovered ? Or…..was it none of the above ?..I know the answer and you can find out too. Just buy this book, set aside some quiet time and immerse yourself into the world Susan has created for us. I’ve said it before and will say it again … If you read this book (or any of Susan’s books) and you will not be disappointed – ever - I guarantee.
