"…This story is filled with suspense and intrigue, plot and subplots. It is a great brainteaser. You know you should be able to figure it out, but somehow the solution is always just around the corner.

SEEING IS BELIEVING (A Liz Moretti mystery)
Seeing is Believing

http://www.amberquill.com/SeeingBelieving.html

One beautiful English summer morning, the life of American, Liz Moretti, goes spinning out of control. The body of Tony Almington, her partner in Almington's Accounting & Secretarial, is found in the trunk of her car and Liz is arrested on suspicion of murder. Insisting she's innocent of the crime seems futile-on the face of it, she had all the necessary means, motivation and opportunity. To make matters worse, the British police have been in touch with the Las Vegas Sheriff's Department, so they know this isn't her first brush with a suspicious death. But the police don't know everything. Someone is trying to frame Liz for Tony's murder, and unless she can figure out the who and the why, there's a good chance they'll succeed.

Reviews:

…Seeing Is Believing is an involved, suspenseful tale… However, the strength of the work lies in the characters the author has created. Chris Grover has crafted a town full of realistic individuals that provide a cast of possible suspects…As Liz gets closer to discovering the truth, the mounting tension is almost palpable. The author's attention to police procedures and criminal intent makes this a mystery that seems to have stepped off the pages of current news.
Reviewed by: Amanda for Fallen Angel Reviews

…Having already read Ms. Grover's earlier works, I was expecting nothing short of excellent. I was not disappointed. From the first few scenes the reader will be immediately submerged into the story. The relationship between Liz and Paul adds the perfect romantic touch without overwhelming the mystery. An intriguing novel that will keep any sophisticated reader guessing for the culprits. Highly recommended.
Reviewed by Mayra Calvani, Midwest Book Review

…Do you like to snoop? Just be careful whose business you are poking into or you could wind up like Tony Almington. Dead. …A mystery to keep you reading, a tale with fun characters, a little romance mixed in. Talented Chris Grover takes us into the dark side of life where sex and drugs are tools of the trade. Recommended as a fun read to satisfy any mystery lover.
Anne K. Edwards for Blether and ebook-reviews.com

Seeing Is Believing…is a great example of suspense and intrigue with a large colorful and very articulate cast of characters you'll enjoy getting to know. Liz has a questionable past, and if uncovered it could send her from the frying pan and right into the fire…With more than one suspect to keep you on your toes, you'd be hard pressed to find a dull moment. Paul is Liz's love interest and their relationship is still in its infancy. I hope Ms. Grover has plans for them in a future book. For a tale that will satisfy the mystery lover everywhere be sure to get your copy soon. Enjoy!
