The Westwood Strangler is dead.
Or so everyone believes.
Ann Kern is busy preparing for
her favorite holiday. She’s especially looking forward to her sister’s annual
Christmas visit. But, several things threaten to ruin her festive mood.
The National
Weather Service issues a severe winter storm warning for the Cincinnati area,
predicting blizzard conditions, and Ann worries that her sister and her new
boyfriend won’t be able to make the drive from South Carolina.
Then, a woman is found strangled
in Ann’s neighborhood and everyone, including the police, assumes it’s the work
of a copycat killer. However, when two more women are murdered in their homes,
the police announce their conviction that the Westwood Strangler is
responsible.
When Ann hears the news, the
sense of safety and security she’s worked so hard to recapture since her attack
on Halloween night, shatters. If the intruder who died in her apartment wasn’t
the Westwood Strangler, who is? And, who will be the next victim?

How to put a smile on an author's face - write a nice review for their book.
Here's a review I received that put a BIG smile on my face. :)
"Fans of Mary Higgins Clark will greet this novel with enthusiasm. Like
Clark in her early classic mystery/suspense novel A Stranger Is
Watching, Gligor creates a frightening world for a sympathetic
protagonist. Ann Kern, loving wife and mother, is surrounded by
threats. Her husband, an alcoholic and a gambler, is emotionally
unstable. There is also a serial killer on the prowl on the west side of
Cincinnati and it appears that Ann is intended to be his next victim.
There are a number of possible suspects. Author Gligor thoroughly
develops each character in the novel, going into back stories, thoughts,
behavior and actions. But this does not slow the plot which develops at
a fast pace. Definitely a novel the reader will not put down until the
final words are read."How to put a smile on an author's face - write a nice review for their book.
