Hide and Seek Sandy Whelchel Ravenhawk Books ISBN: 1-8936600-08-7 Fiction, Mystery, Suspense Reviewed by Eugen M. Bacon

An attractive review package, complete with CD, artwork and multiple book marks (laminated), introduced me to Sandy Whechel. Hide and Seek is, to a large quotient, romantic suspense. A small hardcover, interesting graphics of a tower on an Alaskan mount and fine pace: the story begins with a 1978 death in Northway. The loss of Tad hits Frank Lee heavy, a fine opening that rouses questions, builds curiosity. In an oddly sudden liaison of strangers, Frank and Tiffany Westerland stumble upon each other. Frank has a brooding, and Tiffany, a dark secret.  Together, they unearth trust and courage, enough to face smaller challenges about them, but is it enough to overcome the deadly sabotages, multiple deaths at the oilrig where Frank works? Someone is arranging fatal accidents, no doubt, and he is getting increasingly desperate, his methods more frantic. 

Sometimes the novel leaves a sense of not delving deep enough- I wanted, waited for, something more to happen, anything to wholly convert me. And though it never did, the cleanly written novel carried good action, atmospherics and almost detective suspense enough to entertain.
