5 Star Reviews:

“Marnie Malone by Patricia Gligor had me hooked before the end of the first chapter.

As Marnie prepares to leave the law firm she’s been with for years to step out on her own, someone has begun to stalk her. Between being a Family Law attorney and a strong woman, she’s made her share of enemies over the years.

Threats, notes and unsavory characters are dogging her steps. Her strength of character may be her best defense, but only time will tell. Someone wants her dead.

Who can save her, if not Marnie herself?

I highly recommend this book to those who love suspense and surprises. This one will have you on the edge of your seat.”

Marja McGraw

“Marnie Malone is being threatened by a stalker. But who is this person? Marnie practices family law for a firm in Charleston, South Carolina. She has made numerous enemies among wife and child abusers over the years by fighting for the rights of her clients. There are also several men in her firm who qualify as possible stalkers. In addition, a large land developer wants to buy her house which she won’t sell. He sees her as the only hold-out. One of her neighbors is also angry.

However, Marnie refuses to be intimidated. She is an independent woman of strong character. Still, the various actions of the stalker do frighten her. Marnie’s boyfriend, Sam Miller, is out of town and the stalker takes advantage of that. Marnie has to stand up for herself and she does so. She’s a well-developed, realistic character who readers will admire. When she makes mistakes, she learns from them.

This mystery novel is a page-turner, a thriller that readers will not want to put down until the last word is read.”
