A Story Within a Story

With a penchant for writing about her close friends and their state of affairs, aspiring writer Kurt Daley is dying to create the greatest best seller. Only, dying is just what she may have to do. In BEST SELLER, Kurt attends a major writer's conference in Chicago where she meets her all-time favorite author, Dean. She considers herself a protégé of Dean, and knows that his help and influence with her current manuscript will help get her a foot in the door of a major publishing company. Once she meets Dean, he gives her something that turns her entire writing career around. Kurt's writing improves and she instantly has her best seller. She also makes a connection with her handsome neighbor, Robert Earls. As the two embark on the beginnings of a relationship, Kurt's friends and associates are beginning to die. Pretty soon she notices a correlation between her friends' accidents and her gift from Dean. Working together, she and Robert discover the real danger will be keeping the gift. To say that Hope C. Clarke held my attention in this novel is an understatement. She grabbed it, worked it and didn't let go until the end. I was completely enthralled in this psychological suspense thriller. The tales that the main character, Kurt, wrote were just as entertaining and gripping as the main story. The only negative comment about this book was that at times the transition between Kurt's writings and the story itself was not very clear and concise. Be that as it may, this was a very interesting creation by Ms. Clarke. (RAW Rating: 3.5) Reviewed by Brenda M. Lisbon of The RAWSISTAZ™ Reviewers

Kurt's life takes a sudden turn filled with locked doors, twists, and turns that will chill your spine.

DID IT AGAIN!

Once again, Hope proves herself to be a very promising young literary voice. Best Seller shows that the author has potential to be among some of our best mystery writers. For those of you who enjoy books like: Shadow Lover, The Between, and Thunderland, I highly recommend Best Seller. You will not put the book down. There is something going on in every page. Very suspenseful.I'm definitely look forward to the author's next book. It seems like she just gets better with time.

Suspenseful!

Ms. Clarke has a writing style that is truly unique to the African-American contemporary/mystery genre...I was captured by her ability to tell multiple stories in one, while putting us in Kurt's world..Without telling too much as some reviews tend to do, hold on! You'll definitely want to check out "Pent Up Passion" / "Not With My Son" and "Shadow Lover"! Go, Hope!
