Rattlesnake Hill by Leslie Wheeler

b00knerd's review against another edition

3.0

What a well-written fast-paced novel. I enjoyed how the author brought a fresh new breathe into my thriller/ suspense genre of novels. Seemed like I was in a stump for awhile and I felt as if everything I was reading in this genre turned out to be similar or just didn't hold enough thrill for me. I really enjoyed this.
