Blurb:
"An engrossing tale of an uncanny and sometimes frightening life." — Kirkus Reviews
It was Friday night, September 2, 1983. Julie Cromwell will never forget that shocking day when she lost her best friend, Candice Wentworth, in an upscale oyster bar. No, Candice had not disappeared. She had died when the club’s suspended dance floor gave way, a sudden and seemingly random tragedy, casting 500+ dancers to their deaths in a 30-foot drop.
Her life ignobly snuffed out at the young age of 32, Candice exemplified a fun-loving lifestyle and a warm kindred spirit—possessing all the requisite traits for a promising future. She never entertained a trace of ill will toward anyone. How could something so grisly happen to such a compassionate, enchanting human being?
Julie struggles to make sense of it all, reminiscing as she travels back to her hometown of Trenton, New Jersey. The two had met in Milwaukee and worked as underwriters for The Walden Company. But something went horribly wrong. Julie’s journey is one filled with elation and fear, jealousy and regret, happiness and indignation, and a horrifying act of disloyalty.
An unforgettable, tumultuous ride, Last of the Autumn Rain delivers an introspective and jaw-clenching tale, which not only rocks one’s moral compass, but invites a chilling in a world where the ground can literally fall out from under you, what else might be lurking beneath the surface?
"...this novel is an excellent read for fans of psychological thrillers." — Readers' Favorite
"...For psychological thriller enthusiasts craving a riveting unsettling experience, this novel burrows under the skin and truly delivers a mind-blowing page-turner." — Ghassan Salti

My Review:
Last of the Autumn Rain is the first book from the Broken Reflections series. It is, also, my first experience with the talents of author Diana Louise Webb I thought it was a pretty good book. It was full of action, suspense and mystery. There were plenty of twists that kept me intrigued until the very end. I enjoyed taking this adventure with Julie.
I am going to give Last of the Autumn Rain four and a half stars. I believe readers who enjoy reading thrillers. I am interested in getting my hands on the next installment from the Broken Reflections series to see where else Diana Louise Webb will take her fans to next.
I received a paperback copy of Diana Louise Webb's Last of the Autumn Rain (Broken Reflections) from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
