Review: Kim's story: Murder in the Everglades

Kim's story: Murder in the Everglades by Loie Lawless is a mystery that is a real page turner that once you start reading it you will find it hard to put down. You will be entranced from the very start when we first meet a young Kim Alexander as she escapes her would be killer only to find that he has already killed her parents. Then you will soon find yourself totally absorbed as we soon meet Kim year later and determined to reclaim her childhood home and find the truth of what happened all those years ago. You will find yourself further caught up in all the twist and turns as Kim uncovers secrets that shake up everything she thought she knew as she was growing up. As she further digs to find clues about her parents murder, the suspect list soon starts to grows.

As you read the story you will meet several characters that you soon get involved with just as if you meet them in your everyday lives. Along with Kim you will meet one of her best childhood friends Gloria Latham, who is now a real estate agent; Brad Kimball, the older brother of another one of Kim's childhood friends and Gloria's boss; Chase Grey, the police office that invested the murder when he was still a rookie: retired police officer Max Young, who was Chase's veteran partner at the time of the murders; Melvin Thomas, the manager of SawGrass boat tours, and Patricia Sanderson, Kim's aunt.

The author does a great job of making the characters pop out of the pages of the book just as though they were people you might have meet in your own life. As we read the dialogue one could imagine the same words being spoken by their own friend and acquaintances.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys reading a good mystery. There are plenty of twist and turns that will keep you guessing as you read.
