Thrilling, Twisted, and Unpredictable

In the opening of the Dafne Olabarrieta Mexico Mystery series, Manwaring throws readers into a high-stakes world of loyalty, sacrifice, and redemption, where every choice teeters on the edge of the impossible. Dafne Olabarrieta is torn between her thriving career as a hostage negotiator and her desire to start a family with her husband, Seeger Porras. But when an estranged friend contacts her, desperate for help after her daughter is kidnapped, Dafne must confront her past and unravel a web of deceit to save the 10-year-old girl’s life.


From the very beginning, the story grips readers, immersing them in Dafne’s perilous reality, where moral boundaries blur and every friendly face may hide a threat. Dafne’s fierce loyalty to Alba propels the plot, but it’s her internal struggle that adds depth. Tough yet vulnerable, she confronts her own demons while maneuvering through a maze of external dangers. Manwaring expertly ramps up the tension with a series of unexpected revelations that challenge readers’ assumptions about each character’s motives. The story remains grounded in reality as deceptions accumulate, crafting a rare page-turner that delivers a satisfying climax. Readers will be up all night."    The Prairies Book Review
