Five out of Five Stars!

Find Her Alive is not your typical female detective story. I was surprised reading Diane Saxon’s book by the depth of her story, not the number of storylines. 

Fliss is Jenna’s little sister and now that their mom is gone they live together, but Fliss is a magnet for chaos and Jenna is a busy detective. When Jenna goes to the scene of an accident, she learns that this accident may be more of a crime scene and it may involve her little sister! Now, taken off the case as lead detective, Jenna tries to juggle being a detective with other cases to work on while trying to stay abreast of the search for Fliss. 

Fliss isn’t dead but maybe that would have been better. She is held captive and her dog is dead. Her sister will never be able to find her, she knows for sure. There are no windows and no one will hear her scream so the time comes to plan an escape. But how do you escape when you are broken and battered?

As the reader continues through the story the surprise of finding that the story doesn’t end with the victim being found and the criminal in handcuffs, it goes deeper to reveal how close family members are and their need to stay together. I give this story five stars for its easy reading, excellent plot, and believable characters.
