Book Review-See Her Run (Aloa Snow Book 1)- Peggy Townsend

Tuesday, January 21, 2020


Aloa is really not in a good place--everything that could go wrong has. She made a big mistake and lost her very good job as an investigative reporter. She is also fighting bulemia--not easy to say the least. At least she has friends who kind of make her eat!!

Then came the phone call from a guy who actually lived with her family as they were growing up--she is not pleased to hear from him but when he offers her a large sum of money to do investigating and write it up--she really does not have much of a choice.

A woman was found in the desert-dead. The police deemed it a suicide. Aloa thought different since the woman's boyfriend was found dead a couple of months prior.

It took a bit of sleuthing and the help of her octogenarian friends to get to the bottom of it. She was almost murdered by the same person, You are never to going to guess who the person is. Lots of twists and turns in this one!!


About the Book: (from Amazon)

“Journalist Peggy Townsend’s superb debut delivers an intense character study…Townsend’s sophisticated plotting and affinity for character development elevate See Her Run.” —Associated Press

A former reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Aloa Snow knows what it means to be down and out. Once highly respected, she’s now blackballed, in debt, and dealing with the echoes of an eating disorder. Until she gets one more shot to prove that she has what it takes—with a story some would die for…

After the body of a promising young athlete, Hayley Poole, is recovered in the Nevada desert, authorities rule it a suicide. But when Aloa discovers that the girl’s boyfriend died in a similar accident only months before, her investigative instincts are on high alert. It turns out the girl was on the run from secrets that could kill.

This case is murder for Aloa, and Hayley won’t be the last one to suffer. Someone very powerful forced Hayley to run for her life. Now Aloa must do the same.

About the Author: (from Amazon)


Peggy Townsend is an award-winning journalist who has panhandled with street kids, taken to the skies with pararescuers, and once chased an escaped murderer through a graveyard at midnight. Her first mystery, "See Her Run," was listed as one of "13 Thrillers to Keep You Up at Night" by Kirkus Reviews. Her second book "The Thin Edge," arrived May 14, 2019 and was called "an outstanding" novel by The Associated Press. She has rafted rivers, come face-to-face with grizzly bears in Alaska and has twice lived in a van for seven weeks -- which makes her seem more adventurous than she actually is. She divides her time between the Central California coast and the Sierra Nevada mountains.
