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 Thoughts:

Wow! What a fabulous book! I've read the entire series and this one is definitely my favorite! After all Jo has been through in the previous novels it was a joy to see her get her happily ever after! The pacing in this one is great, it moves right along, but at the same time it gave me all the romance and suspense that I crave in a book like this! One of my favorite things about this book is the setting, I have never been to Hawaii, but it was described so beautifully that I felt I went on an armchair vacation there!

Once again I loved how very real Jo is, I think we can probably all relate in some way to her struggles, and I also love how tough and spunky she is! 

I love Nick too, he is such a fabulous hero! 

I have to say this book has one of the loveliest and most unique wedding scenes I've ever seen in a book and I absolutely loved that! 

Capsized By Death is an absolutely fabulous read! I totally and completely loved it from start to finish! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! This is book 4 in a series and could probably be read as a standalone, but to get the richest reading experience I would recommend reading the series in order!

(5 Stars!)

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. Which did not influence my review in any way. All thoughts and opinions are one hundred percent my own!
