Red Hatchet Falls Book Review

When I received an email from the author, Susan Clayton-Goldner asking me to read and review her latest novel, I had to say yes. I have followed this series from the beginning and read them all. Every time I read these novels, I am not disappointed. I did receive this book for a review but this is my honest review.

“The closer we come to the truth, the harder it is to see”. If you want to read a good suspense novel, then read the 271- page Red Hatchet Falls: A Winston Radhauser Mystery #7 by Susan Clayton-Goldner. This book was published by Tirgearr Publishing on March 18, 2020. I am reading this book because I love this author and have read a lot of her books and this was a must read novel.
