Reviews
“In any mystery there is no greater satisfaction being hit with a surprise that you never expected and you will find plenty of that in Once Wicked Always Dead.” —Simply Stacie Book Reviews “Benchley’s book could easily have been dumbed down and labeled with a Harlequin symbol, but instead, she made the romantic elements take a backseat to the mystery/thriller part of the story, which results in a gripping story, and a fast, entertaining read. If you love a mystery, you’ll love Once Wicked Always Dead.” —Bibliotica “T. Marie in Once Wicked Always Dead has written a romantic suspense thriller that will be broadly read and remembered, perhaps even more so than for Peter's novels. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and strongly recommend you seek out T. Marie Benchley’s debut book!” —Book Readers Heaven “Highly recommended! The book will hold your interest from the very first page to the last one. An excellent mystery. Ms. Benchley is an excellent writer of fiction.” —The Golden ReviewerAuthor description
