Hard to believe this is a debut novel best I've read in quite a spell. The setting is perfect and the book probably wouldn't have worked someplace else; the author must have put a lot of thought into the setting.

This book started with a promising story line and went on to exceed my expectations. A well developed plot with nail biting suspense that kept the pages turning. The historical references and family twists added interest without slowing the fast pace and excitement. Great read.

I was hooked by Shepard's Prayer, reluctant to put it down. A well paced novel with plenty of drama, suspense and thoughtful psychological depth, that make the characters and the settings come to life. A wonderful way to experience a well thought out action/ love story set in the mystique of Collioure and the French Pyrenees. A must read! Looking forward to a sequel....
