![]() ![]() (Mar.) ~ FYI: A 16-page excerpt from Guilty as Sin appears in the paperback edition of Night Sins, published last month. Hoag, who knows how to push the right buttons, is a suspense writer to watch. Readers new and old, however, will enjoy the political infighting, the legal jockeying and the several jolts of Grand Guignol violence. Those unfamiliar with Night Sins will need some time to sort out the characters' Peyton Place-like involvements. Complications arise quickly: the trial judge dies of a heart attack another boy vanishes Wright gains a new defense attorney who happens to be Ellen's ex-lover and Ellen gains a quasi-partner and potential flame, bestselling true-crime author Jay Brooks. I’m not mad at her anymore about the two part business. Plus, Tami Hoag proves that she can tell a story in a unique way. Judging from Night Sins, reading Guilty As Sin might not be a waste of time. When Josh reappears, unharmed physically but nearly autistic, Ellen is sure that Wright has an accomplice. Night Sins is a great book that will take any independent woman on an emotional ride. Ellen fears the worst for the still-missing boy but thinks she can convict Garrett Wright, respected college professor, of his abduction. With Megan now in the hospital, the heroine's cap in this sequel sits on the head of new Deer Lake resident-and Assistant County Attorney-Ellen North. ![]() ![]() In Night Sins (1994), Hoag's first thriller after a successful run of paperback romances, Minnesota state cop Megan O'Malley tried to solve the kidnapping of eight-year-old Josh Kirkwood in the Minneapolis exurb of Deer Lake. ![]()
