Gloria Davidson Marlow excels at creating mysteries that make her fans
shiver, coupled with delicious romance. Her heroines are strong, with human
vulnerabilities, and the bad guys represent the sort of creeping evil that
readers of the genre expect.
Sara Jennings has a gift. Since early childhood she's tapped into the
emotions and inner experiences of others. Swirling colors, overpowering
feelings, and stark visions often come with a touch of her hand. Sara is exhausted by such daily assaults on her senses and isolates herself in search of peace. When Drake Sexton seeks her out in hopes of helping his young daughter, Sara initially turns him away. Sexton is an angry, shattered man. His daughter Kelsey is trapped in horror after seeing her mother's death. She has not spoken in several years. Despite misgivings, Sara agrees to spend three months in the Sexton home to help Kelsey return to normal life.
Kelsey Sexton is a beautiful child who blossoms towards healing over time
with Sara's help. And Drake Sexton cannot hide his need for tenderness and
warmth from Sara's gift of seeing true emotions. Drake's dead wife Madeline
was a classic beauty, an empty shell of a woman in life and a cold,
haunting apparition in death. Her ghostly presence is evident in the house
Drake built overlooking the ocean, and along the beach where she died. Sara
quickly realizes that Madeline's death came as the result of murder, not
suicide as she had been told. As she learns more about the Sextons, an
unidentified evil gains power and momentum. And soon, everyone who knows
the truth about Madeline's death is eliminated by her killer. Sara is in
danger from the deadly stalker, whose image remains hidden from her.
Complicating her situation is the growing love she feels for Drake.
Shades of Silence represents another successful Marlow excursion into
passion and suspense. The mystery is chilling as Sara gradually learns the
murderer's identity and motives. Sara's gift is harrowing and believably
detailed. Drake Sexton is a sympathetic character, struggling to make sense
out of a broken life. And Kelsey is a delightful child whose world is
brightened by Sara's warm and compassionate personality. For readers of the
mystery and romance genre, any book by Gloria Davidson Marlow should be a
must read.

I am only starting "Shades..." but if its half as good as "the Butterfly Game" I just finished, I'll be joining you in singing the praises.
Gloria, it has been a while since I enjoyed a book as much as Butterfly. You wove a very nice tale, lots of suspense and well crafted characters.
Thank you for the wonderful reading experience.

Bill,
Gloria had me hooked with The Butterfly Game. I have been a devout fan since the first few words. Shades of Silence, as my sister put it, will blow you away. Flowers For Megan will again be available at the end of this month. We don't yet have a schedule for the next title, 'cause she isn't done writing it yet. ;)

Here's my review:
Shades of Silence is the third book I've read by Gloria Davidson Marlow, and she's getting better and better. The imagery in this book is what really struck me, quite apropos considering the storyline and psychic abilities of the heroine, Sara Jennings. There is no distinction made between the beautifully crafted wordscapes that send the reader to the romantic oceanside setting and the frighteningly vivid images of what Sara sees when she "reads" someone--both make the reader feel as though they're experiencing it along with this compassionate heroine. Paired with the heart-wrenching struggles of the traumatized eight-year-old girl who witnessed her mother's murder and the sexual tension between Sara and the man who hires her to help his daughter, Ms. Marlow's word-painting talent makes her latest thriller an emotional mosaic that satisfies on multiple levels.
Note to author: there's plenty of room on my book shelf for more books by Gloria Davidson Marlow!

Hi Gloria. I didn't realize you had such an array of books on the market.
Remember me from "Ledgend's Prophecy?" I hope you have great success GM. |

Okay, I'm finished with "Shades..." and everything I said about Butterfly I say again, only more.
You do good work, Gloria. It was a tale that held my interest all the way through (I have to brag and say I outguessed you on the bad guy, but wasn't really sure until the end). I hope you stretch yourself in your future books. You certainly have the talent.
Great job!
Any of you guys who haven't read Gloria's work, are missing something. Get after it!
