Murder Mystery, Lake Charm

Online, February 3, 2012 (Newswire.com) - This is a compelling story showing you how Nadine's transformation from a woman doing what she has to to protect her family becomes a woman who will do whatever she has to in order to get what she has only read about. Lake Charm will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The characterization is quite dramatic throughout, which is crucial with such a character-focused story. A remarkable detail is ever present in the background of life along the Florida swamp land. From the weather to the feel of the water and land adds to the great sense of atmosphere and subtle depth of the story. This is a very interesting, suspenseful, dramatic story that seemed at its core to be about how once certain boundaries have been crossed (like murder), no matter the reason, a person is forever changed. Even lesser characters, such as the detectives, are given depth and personality by their actions and dialogue.

This dramatic story could be ripped from today's headlines or on the daily news programs showing you the struggles women go through when they are in abusive relationships. It deals with teen love, compassion, rape, incest and abortion our society deals with every day. The conflicts and desires of the less fortunate in our society are the constant debates we have today in our pursuit to help those in need. Lake Charm also deals with the growing problem in our justice system that more often than not disregards the rights of victims of crime and sides with the offenders in early release programs. These programs can only result in more innocent people being subjected to horrific crimes that changes everyone's life.

This exciting murder mystery will be available on Amazon.com, Kendle and Barnes & Noble.com. It is a Ellen Totten's second novel.
