Rendezvous in Veracruz

"Carolyn knows how to keep a tight grip on suspense while having some fun with the characters and the scenery. She makes the milieu a real part of the story." -- Ed Gorman, author of Bad Moon Rising
Rendezvous in Veracruz by Carolyn Hart

Long before Carolyn Hart wrote her Death on Demand mystery series, she wrote Rendezvous in Veracruz, a novel of suspense intended for young adults. It may have been aimed at that audience, but I was captivated by the two gutsy young women in the book, and couldn't turn the pages fast enough.
