More from Catherine
In writing my Jo Oliver Thriller series, I find myself driven by passion. The genesis of the series—Cleansed By Death—was
fueled by a passion to create a story about strong women embedded in a
male-dominated profession, facing difficulties they could only solve
through faith and community. I was vacuuming when I was hit by the idea
of pitting two strong women against each other and seeing which one
would win, the theme of book 2, Shattered by Death. Information
gleaned during an FBI writers workshop on techniques for tracking
criminals, superimposed over the mitten map of Wisconsin formed the
bones for Anchored By Death, the third book in the series.
My latest novel, Capsized By Death,
contains all of my favorite elements. The astute series reader will
note that the foundation for the killer’s appearance in this book was
introduced years ago in Cleansed By Death. But he first appeared to me during one of my many solo writing vacations on an island.
At the end of a fairytale day spent
kayaking, snorkeling and listening to the sound of whales singing under
water in Maui, the gorgeous male host of my day trip stood silhouetted
in the setting sun. This man was beautiful in every way, and had the
sort of personality that describes the essence of attractive—he pulled
you into his beautiful ocean world. At that moment, I knew I had found
my perfect killer for my next book! It became my goal to create a killer
who was beautiful on the outside and evil on the inside. I used the New
Testament book of Jude as my guide for the internal workings of my
killer and thus the skeletal framework for Jude, my killer in Capsized By Death—book 4 of the Jo Oliver Thriller series—was born.

My Review
Now this is the fourth book
in this series, and the first I had read, while the author did a great job of letting
me know about the characters, I was lost at times.
From the first page forward
there is danger and action, and we are part of it. What should be the most
wonderful time in her life, Police Chief Jo Oliver, is soon caught up in
murders and attempted murders, and maybe of herself. She is on Maui to be
married, and yes, we get to experience some of the beauty here, along with the
plush and ritzy place they are staying in the Penthouse. We are also given some
great characters including a new daughter, to go along with the new husband!
If you like action, suspense,
and non-stop action, this book will fit the bill!
I received this book though Celebrate
Lit, and was not required to give a positive review.
