Tainted Sand

Evora skillfully crafts truth and fiction in this book. As the end draws near you begin to learn of a hopeful ending. Evora carefully reveals the foreboding truth in her well written Epilogue. The fictional and true story are incredible mysteries. I could not put the book down, as the stories raced on parallel tracks.

An older gentleman on a shopping trip with his wife in Maine approaches a store employee. Has she seen his wife? The man reports his wife missing to the Belfast Maine Police, but the man's story is full of holes. Did his wife really disappear or is something more sinister afoot? Enter Hannah Gray, investigator/counselor. The police have asked her for her help in the crime. And as it happens, the missing woman is a friend of Hannah. While plunging into the disppearance of her friend, Hannah is embroiled the construction of the House from Hell. Will the problems with her contractors and the building site ever end? Will the true story of the missing Victoria ever come to light? Based on a true crime that still remains officially unsolved, Evora Jordan's tale moves along smoothly. Unlike some mystery tales, Hannah Gray never seems to be a gimmick or a bundle of quirks posing as a person. Hannah could be the lady next door or the person in front of you at the grocery store. Some passages recall Ann Rule with the attention to detail and the lives of everyone involved in a missing persons/crime investigation. Small things like Hannah's love of a good McDonalds breakfast sandwich or the dedicted bargain shopper's experience at Deny's. A attentive and clever reader may figure out the who and wheres before the end but Tainted Sand will not be a tainted read.

Awesome Book!!! ... I couldn't but the book down until I finished it. I even called in sick at work. I found out that Evora Jordan has another new book, a children's book, with a message for both children and adults, called 'Annie Love'. It's another great book, I'd rate it five stars also.

Awesome Book!! I remember reading about this in the Bridgton, Maine newspaper. I couldn't put the book down until I finished it. I even called in sick at work.
