Reviews

<h4 style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Rave review from the author of the Joanne Kilbourn series.</h4> <div style="margin-left: 20px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"> <p>Joylene Butler%u2019s protagonist, Professor Brendell Meshango, is a complex and uniquely Canadian character. She is a strong woman, but neither her Aboriginal childhood, her adult success as an academic, nor her fierce loyalty to her own child prepare her, or us, for the terror that strikes when she becomes the victim of a, seemingly random home invasion. The action in %u201CBroken But Not Dead%u201D is gripping; the characters are rich and the climax riveting.</p> <br> <div style="font-style: italic;"> Gail Bowen </div> </div>
