"I picked up this book for a quick look-over, but found myself caught up in the story. The book is a page-turner despite a deceptively quiet beginning. Marge is an engaging character...I look forward to reading the next one."  R. J. Bryant, Author
                      
I just finished your book, What Did You Do Before Dying, and you are a wonderful writer and it kept me engrossed for the whole book.  I could not put it down, so in 2 readings I finally finished it.  A great mystery.  Herb Lemcool

"The violence in Before Dying is off the page, each chapter is just long enough, but Batta inflames your curiosity just then; you'll want to linger over lunch, refuse to turn out the light."
Jody Clark, writer, editor

Marge could have been me!  Her colorful outfits, the need for  reminders from Gene to slow down and her struggle to begin a life of her own once her husband and children were gone were a mirror of myself.  Pat drew me in to the story quickly by creating a real world person with whom I could easily identify. Katy Ramsdell
