To Catch the Moon
is a page-turning read that transports the reader into the
life of a woman prosecutor determined to find out the truth
behind a high-profile murder - while being pursued by a
handsome newsman whose interest in her investigation is not
merely professional. Here's what reviewers have to say about
Diana Dempsey's new release:
Wow! In To Catch the Moon, Ms. Dempsey's talent shines with
vibrant characters in a fluid narrative rich in detail.
Events move quickly with ever increasing tension to a
satisfying conclusion. In all, a compelling read
complimented by the layers of interpersonal relationships
among all of the characters. Readers will find themselves
delightfully consumed by the passion and drama, which feels
so realistic, it could have come straight out of the
headlines! ... As a reader, it is always a treat to find a
"new to me" author to add to my "must buy" list and Ms.
Dempsey is definitely among the top of that list! Melissa
Freeman, The Romance Reader's Connection
Alicia Maldonado, Deputy D.A. of Monterey County, CA, may
have landed the case that could make her career: the murder
of golden boy Daniel Gaines, who recently announced his
candidacy for governor. Tough and self-assured, Alicia
is a likable protagonist who achieved success through grit
and determination
Dempsey's low-on-glamour depiction of
the D.A.'s office is on the mark, lending much credibility
to this suspenseful novel. The romantic sparring between
Alicia and Milo sparkles with wit ad adds sensuality to this
sizzling, tension-filled mystery. Romantic Times
Handsome national TV reporter Milo Pappas, who has designs
on the wary Alicia, adds romantic sizzle, while a
politically ambitious D.A., a resentful network executive,
and a spoiled, vindictive woman add their own brands of
malevolent mischief. Skillfully plotted and filled with
realistic detail, this fast-paced story deftly interweaves
romance, murder, and ambition with issues of social status
and trust. Kristin Ramsdell, Library Journal
Dempsey, author of
Falling Star,
delivers another enticing read, complete with a captivating
mystery and spicy, sexy romance. Booklist
As in her first novel,
Falling Star, Diana Dempsey creates realistic
and memorable characters, complete with flaws, that you can
really root for; then she puts them into trouble so terrible
you can't figure out how they'll ever triumph. The author
immerses the reader in a well-researched world of money and
power, ambition and greed, and surprise plot twists. This is
an author to watch. Books for a Buck
This book is amazing. It is a clever mystery puzzle. It is
well-written and exciting. It kept my interest until the
very last page. You don't know the truth until the very end.
I hope I don't have to wait long for another book by Diana
Dempsey. It is well worth reading.
Rendezvous
It was jolly good fun getting to the end of the book and
finding out who really offed Daniel Gaines. I look forward
to reading more from this talented author. To Catch the
Moon is a suspense novel of the highest order and is
a must buy. Diana Risso, Romance Reviews Today
