I first picked up this book out of a sale bin in Walmart over 18 years ago and have never looked back. Alice Blanchard is the sole reason I love thrillers, I was only 10 at the time that I read this story and it has been my comfort book since then. The movie twister meets the show bones, but in the most exquisite story telling. I recommend this book to everyone needing a pallet cleanser, or anyone looking to love reading again.

A crime thriller set in Oklahoma with tornadoes! Police chief Charlie finds a murder scene staged as being caused by the tornado...it seems a serial murderer uses tornadoes to cover his tracks. My hometown is even mentioned. It is a page turner and Charlie is a hero who you hope solves this case. In a note to readers the author says weather phenomena is exaggerated for the sake of the story.
