"The author of this impressive novel has poured elements from radically different genres into the blender and set it on high spin . . . The last page promises further surprises in a sequel, which Buchanan better deliver soon."
-Booklist
"Buchanan's narrative is well paced, flying right along. . . . the author has delivered an exciting beginning to an intriguing series."
--Kirkus Reviews "A captivating cast, an isolated location, a raging storm, and the threat of death in every dark corner. Indelible reads like the best crime fiction with a shot of adrenalin. Get ready to stay up late because you won't want to put it down."
--Ann Garvin, USA Today best-selling author "I was hooked from the first sentence. Buchanan's Indelible is a delicious look at what can happen when you create a writing retreat in the bucolic Pacific Northwest and then populate it with many intriguing characters, including a grieving ex-cop, a beautiful woman in a wheelchair, an intuitive, and a serial killer. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire wild ride."
--John Dedakis, author of the Lark Chadwick Mysteries, and former Senior Copy Editor on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" "Indelible is for the reader who loves a fast-paced page-turner; for the reader who likes some sweet romance mixed in with riveting suspense; and for the reader who enjoys getting deeply involved with each character in a well-written book. Indelible is for the writer who fantasizes about an enchanting writing retreat like Indelible's Pines & Quill."
--Pamela S. Wright, author of The Right Wrong Man and Twin Desires "Indelible is a delightful read! The perfect book for an escape on a rainy afternoon. The literary hooks Laurie weaves into the end of each chapter, make Indelible a novel hard to put down. Laurie's vivid character descriptions remind me of the Nancy Drew books I loved to read so many years ago. Indelible makes any reader want to stay at Pines & Quill! I'm looking forward to reading the next Sean McPherson novel!"
--Ann Margaret Johns, author of Clarkston's Curse: One Child's Quest to Explain the Series of Tragedies in Her Hometown "Secrets lie deep behind the pages of this gripping story. Indelible offers readers an expertly drawn cast of characters in an equally dramatic setting. Watching the next move will keep you on the edge of your seat."
--Sherry Biscoe, author of Mists of Garibaldi-Tales of the Supernatural and The Man In Number 7 "Early in Indelible, I realized I was in the hands of a gifted storyteller. Through flawed characters and a vivid setting, tension mounts in this fast-paced thriller, leading to a riveting climax."
--Greg Renz, author of Beneath the Flames "Smart and sassy, Laurie Buchanan's Indelible is a fast-paced mystery with deftly drawn characters and a palpable sense of place. I couldn't put it down!"
--Ashley E. Sweeney, author of Answer Creek "Indelible hits a truly sweet spot in an idyllic setting at a writing retreat in the Pacific Northwest. Just when you get comfortable, it turns from cozy to thriller. This is a fantastic debut of what will surely be an addi
