CRACKLING PLOT OF MIND-BENDING COMPLEXITY

Reader, you have got to read this book. It is fascinating book (which followed an equally great one, "River of Bones." Let me give you a little review of this thriller (can find it at Amazon), and be sure to got to Mary Deal's website: www.WriteAnyGenre.com, too.

DOWN TO THE NEEDLE (ISBN 978-1-4401-9820-5)
By Mary Deal

Five-year-old Becky went missing 23 years ago. Abigail Fisher has never stopped looking, nor given up hope, that one day she will find her daughter. When clues lead her to Megan Winnaker, a young woman soon to be put to death for setting fires that killed people, Abi and her friend, Joe Arno, begin a dangerous, twisted journey seeking the truth.

Even with Megan jailed, the fires continue. Detective Britto believes there are extremist groups involved and joins forces with Abi and Joe to follow the clues. The more Abi learns about the prisoner, the more see-saw emotions rise, causing her heart problems to send her into a tail spin. Were Megan and her daughter members of a gang, followers of a supremacy group? Did the scar on Megan's face cover removal of a tell-tale mold? Why did her artwork duplicate Becky's? If she isn't Becky, how can she know the nick-name Abi gave her daughter? What part does her kidnaper ex-husband Preston play in this scene? And how can they save this woman even Detective Britto believes is innocent?

When birth certificates for both Preston and Becky are found in the bottom of a decorative box hidden among Megan's deceased father's memorabilia, Abi is sure she has finally found her daughter? Or has she?

Mary Deal, award winning author, has created a multi-layered, pitch-perfect story which propels you into a stunning race of hide-and-seek. Down to the Needle offers a crackling plot of mind-bending complexity. This book will keep readers busy grasping for bits and pieces they hope will hold the key to the mystery, right up until Deal delivers the perfect ending.

If you read only one book this summer, make it this one.
