Silver, lived in Hamilton, was at the hotel three days, did not make any
telephone calls nor did he eat at the hotel. He was shot in the head,

Reviews:
"When
reading this first rate mystery, one might think that this story will be
character driven and the setting short changed. However the opening
paragraph sets the scene. The author uses beautiful language and creates
haunting images fulfilling the reader’s thirst for a vividly painted
backdrop against which the characters can play out their dramas." ~
Victoria Lorrekovich,
"I loved the ending.
How powerful! It’s so true in life that we end up crossing paths with
people in ways that defy logic and truly make us feel the presence of a
Higher Power orchestrating it all. All of your stories bring this point
home. They have very positive perspectives as well as being entertaining
with excellent twists. You truly are gifted – can’t wait for more.
