Summary: A Tami Hoag classic returns to print!
Comment: I thought STILL WATERS was a fabulous book the first time I read it several years ago and I still do. To the amateur "reviewers" who aren't smart enough to check the copyright page and realize it's a reprint of one of her classic novels, not a brand new suspense offering, I can only say, "Duh!" No one mixes suspense, romance, and sheer writing prowess like Tami and it's easy to see why her publisher chose her to be one of their top stars after reading STILL WATERS. I found the resolution of the murder mystery to be particularly haunting.

Summary: Not As Bad As Previously Reviewed
Comment: People should really keep in mind that this is a re-print of an earlier title by Ms. Hoag and as the saying goes practice makes perfect. Although it does not measure up to her later titles (Ashes to Ashes for example) it is still not a waste of time to pick this book up and read it.
Yes, there is romance involved and personally I feel that it was an added benefit to the story. It by no means overshadowed the storyline of murder in a small town where the Amish live together with the English.
This is really a multi-layer story about the main characters Dane and Elizabeth, the secondary characters, and changes that happen when the worst is seen in a town where everyone knows everyons business.
Murder is unheard of in the last thirty-three years in Still Water. Now one of the leaders of this small community is found dead in his car. The reasons behind this murder are many and the finger points at several people and at no one. Elizabeth who just moved from Atlanta with her good looks, southern accent,troubled son, and has purchases the local news paper finds the body of the local money man and finds herself in the center of the investigatation.
Dane the local sheriff is a ex-football player turned law officer. He is carrying around some old hurts from his past that color the way he looks at women like Elizabeth but he still can't avoid the attraction that he feels for her. To make matters worse she is a suspect to the murder or at the very least a unsuspected witness. Dane needs to solve the murder and at the same time protect his heart and the woman that threatnes his peacful existance.
Don't pick up this book thinking that it is only a suspense, but at the same time don't avoid it because of the romance involved. At times it is slow going but it is still a well written story by an author that I feel has proven herself in later works.

Summary: You've got to be kidding me
Comment: I believe this book belongs in the teenage romance section of the bookstore. Through the course of one week, six different people fall in love with each other. A few other semi-interesting events are scattered around that general idea. But how many times must we read the line- "She needed him badly.." Somebody shoot me!
