In this fifth -Hideaway - title (after Hideaway; Safe Haven; Last Resort; and Note of Peril), nurse Willow Traynor has retreated to her brother's Ozark cabin after losing her husband in a suspicious shooting and suffering a miscarriage when she was hit by a speeding car. These incidents can no longer be viewed as accidents when an arsonist hits Willow's brother's home. Although she is not ready to trust anyone, Willow must accept help from Dr. Graham Vaughn and his feisty sister. While not up to par with the earlier titles -there are too many early clues about the stalker's identity, and the characters are somewhat stiff -this new mystery may interest fans. Recommended only where there is demand. Hannah Alexander is the pen name of the husband-and-wife writing team of Dr. Mel and Cheryl Hodde, who reside in the Ozark Mountains.
