Sean McPherson is on the mend after a sniper shooting which injured him and killed his partner. Sean is helping his sister at her writing retreat, Pines and Quill. When a killer arrives with a set of writers, it turns the calm and serene Pines and Quill into chaos.

I loved the setting of Pines and Quills. I could just picture the cabins and the wonderful view. Plus, I loved the differences between all the characters. No two are alike! This truly made for unique situations and conversations. Add the crazy killer in the mix and you really have a tale not to be missed.

I received this novel from the author for a honest review. ( )

One of the chapters in Laurie Buchanan’s “Indelible” begins with a quote from Mark Twain: “The difference between the almost right word and the right word is… the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”

Buchanan is masterful at choosing the right word. She takes us to a secluded retreat in the Pacific Northwest, where writers have come to practice their craft in an atmosphere of tranquility and genial comradery. They have no idea a killer is among them, nor who the intended victim is. She carefully builds suspense until putting the book down becomes impossible. “Indelible” is the perfect title for this memorable story. ( )

This first book in what appears will be a really good series is a nice start. It is always a fine line to find the right balance when it comes to book one in a series. Do you giveaway a lot or draw it out to tease readers into reading the next book; particularly when the books flow from one to the next. This book can be read as a stand alone novel. So no worries there.

The main character, Sean aka Mick has a really good backstory that lends nicely to this book. So right away I was compassionate to his story. There is a cast of characters in this story. Each one brought something to the story and were just as engaging.

There were moments when the story dipped a slight bit with the pacing. However, I still did find it a fairly fast read. The last several chapters flew by and the story ended with a bang. I will read the next book in this series. ( )

I started this book on a Sunday evening and planned to read a few chapters. At 3am, I put the finished book down. Once I started this suspenseful book, there was no way that I could stop until I read it all. WOW

Sean was a policeman who was injured in an accident after a sniper killed his partner. He left the force and went to the writers retreat run by his sister and her husband to recuperate. The retreat in the beautiful and serene Pacific Northwest helped him heal physically and mentally as he worked as a general handyman. He picks up the four new writers in residence at Sea-Tac airport and is immediately drawn to Emma, a young woman in a wheelchair. The other writers are a psychic, a bitter divorcee and a limo driver from NYC. All four of them are writing books about their experiences in life but in reality, the limo driver is really a criminal who wants to kill Sean and ends up threatening to harm all of the people at the retreat.

This is an unputdownable book that contrasts the beauty of the Pacific Northwest with the terrible thoughts of a serial killer - it contrasts four people who create their worlds with words with someone who creates his world with fear and torture. Clear your calendar before you start this fantastic new thriller. You won't want to put it down until the end.

This is book #1 in a new series and I can't wait to read the next book and read more about Sean McPherson and the writers retreat in Washington. ( )
