The Other Woman by Hank Ryan: a book review

Books Review, Mystery, Novels, Suspense/Thriller, Writing Spot

When I had the opportunity to meet Hank Phillippi Ryan during a book signing, I jumped at the chance. I hadn’t read one of her books yet, but as a writer, I enjoy hearing from other successful writers. She was delightful to listen to and I had to read one of her books. I chose The Other Woman, first in her Jane Ryland series.
