Haunted by a chilling childhood memory, Katie Curtis is thrust into a harrowing race against time.

Convinced her father's death was not a suicide, Katie vividly recalls a mysterious figure lurking in his office the night he died.

Now, as an adult, she finds herself ensnared in a deadly game orchestrated by a merciless killer.

Judi Thompson grew up in El Paso, Texas and moved to Houston with her husband Roger in the 1980s. She has two sons and seven grandchildren and enjoys living in the Bayou City. She is proud to be a native Texan and enjoys the rich history and diverse cultures of the state.
Judi has been interested in writing since her early teens and published her first poem in the school paper while in high school, but was unable to pursue her passion until recently. “I’ve always carried stories around in my head, imagining scenes and scenarios. I thought I might be a little bit crazy until I read that one of my favorite authors did the same thing. “
Judi retired from a rewarding career in education as a speech language pathologist, educational diagnostician, and special education supervisor. Since retiring, she and her sister Charlene Tess have written several novels under the pseudonyms Tess Thompson (combining their two last names) and Annie Curtis.
She and her sister are currently collaborating on their next book. You can see my book trailers on this YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/charlenetess

I just wish it wasn’t so suggestive

I like the mystery of it all.
I just wish it wasn’t so sexually suggestive didn’t leave much to the imagination. Wasn’t necessary I think.

An Exciting and Intriguing Read

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2015

"Second Daughter" kept my attention from the beginning. The story line is complicated and intriguing, yet easy to follow and very hard to put down. I judge a book by wether or not it will take me weeks to finish it, or I feel compelled to read until the end. "Second Daughter" was a "do not put down until I've read ever last word" book. My pet peeve are novels that take up space with "filler" descriptions and this book has no "filler" paragraphs. Every word and description is relevant to the story line. The characters are intriguing and psychologically challenged and well developed. I am excited to read the next Tess Thompson book "When an Angel Whispers" which I see is now ready.

Good story

A good tale with some twists and turns, which are my favorite thing. Needs editing for wrong words like "waived" instead of "waved."

Fantastic book from beginning to end. It had the perfect blend of mystery, intrigue, romance and suspense. Read until it was finished. I'm hoping the authors will consider writing a sequel.The main characters in the book have some real staying power!

Sweet story

It's a sweet story...the book needs editing. The word "vein" was used where "vain" should have been. It was said that a "GPA" was used for navigation.

Just OK

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2014

I really like Tess Thompson books (Riversong series) but this one wasn't as good. I knew by the 2nd or 3rd chapter who did it and couldn't relate to the primary characters (JW and Katie). The secondary romance was a good one between Nichole and Will. Katie slept too much and JW was a drunk. The book was OK but I wouldn't read another labeled with Charlene Tess.
