About the Author

#Authorproblems   That’s what the excitement around Keith Young was…a problem—Kinda. Lol!

When I started to hear request for his story, I panicked. Authors don’t want to disappoint their readers. And being new to the published scene…Well, you get the picture. 😊

After the release of Buried Cold Case Secrets, many readers told me they wanted Keith’s story. In fact, the overwhelming response puzzled me. What had I done to create such a buzz about Jason’s partner? And of course, I had to ask why?

The general answer I received…Keith’s a nice guy and the perfect partner.

I have to admit, I got a little nervous since I had already written his story. And I worried if I’d done his character justice?

However, after writing Buried Cold Case Secrets, I knew Keith had to have his own story. He’s such a great guy and needed his happily ever after. So, I dove in and asked, what would happen if he made a huge mistake? Not just a physical one, but a heart one.

By the time I finished, I loved seeing Keith and Amy move past their poor choices and hurt to find acceptance and love. The perfect ending to Keith’s struggles.

All that to say, I hope you love Keith and Amy’s story as much as I do.  #TeamKeith

My Thoughts

Twin Murder Mix-Up by Sami A. Abrams is a suspenseful tale.  I am glad that the author gave us Keith’s story.  I like Sami Abrams writing style.  I started reading Twin Murder Mix-Up and found myself quickly drawn into the book.  I wanted to keep reading to find out how the story would end and who was behind the killings (I love solving mysteries).  Keith is a new Christian with good role models.  I liked the Christian elements in the book.  I did not find them to be overdone or preachy.  I could feel the character’s emotions (Amy’s love for Carter and Amy being scared are two examples).

Twin Murder Mix-Up is a suspenseful story with the killer coming after Amy.  This person always seems to be one step ahead of them.  It was an interesting mystery to solve.  I did feel, though, that the motive was weak.  We had the opportunity to catch up with the characters from Buried Cold Case Secrets which I appreciated.  Twin Murder Mix-Up can be read as a standalone (but why would you want to?).  I liked that despite what is going on, there were special touching moments (Amy with Carter, Keith with Amy, Ian with Carter).  It is nice that the characters were flawed and had insecurities.  It made them realistic.  I am glad that there was an epilogue that nicely wrapped up the book.  I am looking forward to reading Sheriff Dennis Monroe’s story (Detecting Secrets).  Twin Murder Mix-Up is a tense tale with a departed twin, an indomitable killer, a photographer on the run, an understanding detective, a remorseful friend, a sticky situation, and a lovable baby.
