Deadly Satisfaction

“Hickman proves to be a master of suspense, plot twists, exhilaration and killer climaxes.”  —RT Book Reviews, 4.5 Stars Top Pick   It’s been two years since Johnny Mayfield’s murder rocked Amber, Alabama. His death, along with the illicit personal scandals that preceded it, created more drama than the town had ever seen. But now life is back to normal, at least for his widow, Geneva. Or so it seems.   Happily remarried, Geneva has to admit her life is better than ever. Her upscale salon is thriving, and she finally has the baby she always wanted. But when Vivana Jackson, Johnny’s ex-lover and the woman convicted of killing him, starts stirring up drama by claiming she’s been framed, it causes Geneva to question many things—including who really killed Johnny. Add local gossip columnist Shartell Brown and tell-it-like-it-is Donetta Pierce to the mix, and soon vicious rumors, terrifying threats, and long held secrets may add up to another shocking murder—one that will rival even Johnny Mayfield’s.   “Readers will enjoy the twist and turns in Hickman’s tale, which has a definite soap opera vibe. We know there’s aromantic train wreck ahead, but we can’t turn away from the drama.” —Library Journal on Secret Indiscretions
