In Harm's Way

"In Harm's Way, by EJ Kindred, is a terrific read you won’t want to put down. Nice pacing with funny, nostalgic, tragic scenes, twists, and surprises. The cast of characters is somewhat large, but I had no trouble keeping track of who was who, and I cared about what happened to them. In particular, I loved the realism of the average, every day people, the settings, and the jobs portrayed. The conflict was well-written between Downton Abbey upper crust nasty and Americana rural life with working people who care about each other. Highly recommended."  ~Sue Hardesty, author of the Loni Wagner Mystery Series
