Rendezvous Review: "It's Caroline Holt...I'm afraid...for
Aaron and myself..." This is part of a frantic message journalist Roni
Mayfield receives from a long ago beloved friend. She's too late as
Caroline's death is ruled a suicide. However, Roni goes back to Eagleton
to take care of the eleven year old son. Young widow Caroline had been
an important influence on Roni when she was an eleven year old mining
brat. Roni was happy there until at the age of fifteen, Frank, a young
friend, was accused of raping Caroline, and then her family moved
suddenly. Answers. Roni needs answers. Who is Aaron's father? Where has
Frank been for twelve years? Who roams the house at night, writing
messages? Is she still in love with James? I must admit that Carol
Davis Luce had me stumped until the end! This story has at least
four or five definite suspects. She has woven the lives of the entire
town, entwined them, overlapped them, and as you try to untangle them,
the more knots you have. Besides the suspense, it's a great story! Nancy

Carol's
first novel, Night Stalker, was also her first sale. "A dandy
read," wrote author Tony Hillerman. It went into three printings and
became the flagship for the sub-genre "Woman in Jeopardy" at
Kensington Publishers—strong heroines pitted against evil opponents.
Reviewers have said of her villains: [Night Prey] "Luce's
portrayal of a psychopathic mountain man is chilling..." [Night
Game] "The villain is evil personified."
