"Who would want this woman dead?"

Fresh Fiction Review

Women's Fiction Contemporary | Romance Suspense

April hadn't been an easy month for Kathryn Walker for many years as it marked the loss of a child.  However, this particular April might have been the worst yet.  She believed she was being stalked and then hunted by a murderer.  As if this wasn't bad enough, she had reason to believe her husband was going to leave her. Kathryn couldn't think of any reason anyone would target her.  She was the wife of a successful surgeon and their adult children were doing well.  She freely gave her time to her community.  Who and why would want this woman dead?

APRIL STORM, a novel by April Meacham, provides an intimate portrayal of a long and seemingly successful marriage.  So why is it that Kathryn's husband didn't seem concerned that she might be in danger?  When a total stranger offers to help and protect her the narrative becomes even more complicated.

In this gripping page-turner, the plot is multilayered and the characters are complex.  With an unknown motive and suspect, readers are engrossed from start to finish. The story moves very quickly as it reaches its conclusion.

Well written and suspenseful, this book is well worth reading.  Highly recommended.

SUMMARY

A seemingly perfect suburban housewife is being pursued by a private detective . . . and hunted by a murderer in this riveting, much-anticipated posthumous novel from the beloved author of Roses and Dragonfly.

Kathryn Walker enjoys an enviable life. Her husband is an accomplished doctor, her children are bright and successful, and she devotes herself to charity work that uplifts her Suburban Colorado community. Settling into a new year, her life couldn’t be better. . .

Until April.

For Kathryn, April has always rained trouble—but this time may be even stormier than the fraught past she’s trying to overcome. Already distraught over the child she miscarried in this same cursed month many years ago, the emotionally fragile woman isn’t ready to consider the overwhelming evidence that someone may be trying to take her husband—and her life.

Featuring the complex characters and powerful storytelling that are the beloved hallmarks of Leila Meacham’s novels beginning with her breakout debut Roses, April Storm is a page-turning triumph that caps a remarkable literary career.
