Please meet mystery/suspense author Tracy B. Evans.


Her first book Fatal Kidnapping is a thrilling mystery, fast paced and filled with suspense.

Twists and turns…
5 Stars


A day never went by without Katie Stone calling her father at least once, but on that fateful day she didn't call. She and fiancé Caleb had agreed to meet for dinner, but she didn't show up. Something was wrong; Katie was missing. Terrified her father and fiancé turned to the local sheriff. Sheriff Day found her car at the Grocery Store. The town began to search for missing Katie.


When I review a book, I usually give a much longer summary. This time, I intentionally kept the summary short so that I would not give away any of the astonishing story. Fatal Kidnapping is like a roller coaster ride there are enough twists and turns to keep you holding on to the edge of your seat. I found the plot amazing; I was still trying to figure out " who done it" up to the last chapter. My only criticism of Fatal Kidnapping was the dialogue in a few places it is a little contrived. The plot falls heavily on the dialogue, which is good. I like books with a lot of dialogue. Tracy B. Evans is a talented writer. The cover deliciously hints at what lays inside. The characters are well developed; Caleb, loving and supportive, and Jed, a father that loves his daughter deeply. As a child, Katie was filled with pain. Fans of mystery and suspense will cherish this one.

Fatal Kidnapping:
Katie Stone felt all alone. At the same time, however, she never felt alone. Katie was constantly checking over her shoulder in fear, a perpetual and eerie feeling that someone was watching or following her. Unfortunately, no one would believe her. In Fatal Kidnapping, Tracy B. Evans' new book of love, death, and abduction in a small town, the refusal to believe Katie turns into disbelief when, suddenly, Katie disappears.
When Katie's father, Jed, does not hear from her and neither he nor Katie's fiancé, Caleb, can find her, Jed contacts his close friend and the town's sheriff, Jack Day. Sheriff Day is clueless when it comes to conducting a search for a missing person, as he has never had to deal with any major crimes in such a small town. He eventually calls together a group of people from the town to meet him at the police station and begins the search for Katie. As the townspeople look high and low for the missing girl, the search begins to seem pointless. They find nothing to aid them in the investigation, and no sign of Katie. Caleb fears that Katie has left town because she has decided that she does not want to marry him after all. Then, suddenly, a few days later, Katie is discovered. She is bruised and battered, but she is alive.
Katie begins to tell Sheriff Day what happened to her during the time she was gone, but Sheriff Day is immediately frustrated and confused. Why is she beginning her statement with details about her childhood? Katie tells him he must listen to the whole story or he will never believe her. Wanting to get to the bottom of things, Sheriff Day agrees, and he can not believe what he learns next. When Katie is finished, Sheriff Day believes he has discovered the truth behind her kidnapping. But has he really, and will the truth ever truly be revealed? Katie is adamant that the statement she has given is correct, but how can the kidnapper be a man who has been dead for years?
Follow Katie's story and its incredible conclusions in Fatal Kidnapping.

She did not care to See!

Last week, while watching the news, we found out that in Columbia, SC, a Pastor's husband was arrested for possession and trafficking crack cocaine. The same man had been arrested and charged in 1995 for similar crimes and received two years on parole.The pastoring couple lives close to a school, in a house with a fenced in yard and video surveillance (for their own safety).Now, the fact that a pastor's husband is guilty of such crimes is bad enough, after all, his wife is in a position of trust, dealing with families and children and one can bet that, on many occasions, he had a part in church events.What really gets me upset here, is the pastor's statement to the press, when asked about her knowledge of his crimes: "I did not see it, I did not CARE to SEE!"Well, HELLOOOOO! She did not CARE TO SEE?! Does that not imply that she was aware, that she knew and saw and just turned around and looked the other way?Trust me, after years of "detectiving around" I do know that if you have cameras, you will use them! If your husband sells crack from your home, you will see, not only on cameras! If you make a statement that you did not care to see, you admit that you have seen.How can that woman remain in her position? How can she act as if she were not aware and expect people to continue to trust her?How can the police overlook her statement and not charge her as an accessory?Yes, I’ve got it off my chest, but not off my mind and I do wonder, how many more are out there, committing such crimes, selling drugs to our children? And how many who know and see do turn their heads because they do not care to see?I’m pretty sure they do not mind to spend the money.And, if our kids die on an overdose, will the spouse of the drug-selling scum read the service for our children, still pretending Not to See? Acting surprised, wondering where in the world the child could have found those drugs?
