Hannah Alexander

Sable's grandfather had been murdered.  And she was next on the list.  So why didn't she go to the local police?  Why run to the family's isolated Ozark home?  Wouldn't that make it easier for the person after her to succeed?

Paul was Sable's friend.  He also believed her when she said someone was after her.  But now they were after him, too. 

  Returning home after her grandfather's murder by bus as her car was pushed off the road and wrecked in a canal.  Dr. Sable Chamberlain is trapped in an ice storm on dangerous to travel on roads in the Ozark Mountains. Sable has allowed the bus load of people to stay in her grandfather's large house

I picked this up at my public library and, not surprisingly since I've enjoyed the Hideaway novels, found another page-turner. Imagine my happy surprise when, while looking on the author's web-site, I discovered Steeple Hill will be reprinting this series summer 2009! Wah-hoo!

Another suspenseful story I couldn't put down.  Sable and Paul worked great together.

Very slow start!  Once I made it through the first few chapters, the pace of the story picked up.  Glad Red realized he was all Bertie really needed.

Hannah Alexander write excellent suspense novels.  A young girl is kidnapped and when found feels it was a family member who did it.  There are so many family members who are acting suspiciously.  Since the young girl was digging up the past while doing a research paper on her family’s business - her cousin and believes she should not go home until they figure out the truth.  Accidents occur

This book has action, suspense, romance, plot twists and turns, and quite a few red herrings.

I don't often read books that are set in the 1940's but I enjoyed this one. The love story is poignant but the historical details really brought this story to life. If there was a Steeple Hill line for Historical Suspense, this would fall in that category. It's the story of 2 Americans who happen to have German lineage - not a good thing in your background when your country is fighting the Nazi's.

It seems like Bertie Moennig has loved Red her whole life even though they didn't have their 1st date until just weeks before he was shipped off to fight the Nazi's in Europe. Undeterred, she writes him letters believing in her heart that he is the only man for her. When the need arises for machinists, she learns a trade and heads out to California to work in the aircraft industry until Red comes home.

Bertie's letters had kept Red Meyers sane in an insane war. He kept them in his shirt pocket and it was habitual for him to check often to ensure they were there. In plain terms, they were his security blanket. Although he'd never exchanged words of love with Bertie, the letters were filled with their hopes and dreams.

 Hideaway Home plunks the reader down smack in the middle of World War II America where Bertie (Roberta) Moenning, our heroine, is being trained as a machinist in the Hughes aircraft factory in California that's putting out military equipment for the war effort.
