BETRAYAL

Reviews:

"Grabs you by the throat with its first sentence and finally releases you drained and shaking on page 390. Hunter's writing has that compulsive quality that spells bestsellerdom."
—Hazel Leslie, London Times

"A shocking tale of secrets and lies....Upon completion of this book I actually felt that I had visited Louisiana and left with a thorough understanding of the word BETRAYAL."
—Gwendolyn J. Brantly, Affair de Coeur

"The eerie atmosphere of southern Louisiana provides the perfect setting for Gothic drama, and Hunter makes full use of [it]...to create a vivid, haunting backdrop to her gripping tale....a definite page-turner."
—Publishers Weekly

"A story of passion and danger that takes the reader into the heart of a family that is pure evil.  Readers will find themselves sympathizing and empathizing...."
—Toby Bromberg, Romantic Times

"Hunter's characters are solidly drawn and appealing.  Her ending should leave most readers in good spirits"
—Charles Serman, The State

"There is most certainly some of Faulkner and Caldwell in this implacable novel. But perhaps, more still, of Flannery O'Connor of whom Gwen Hunter could definitely be, at this end of the twentieth century, the direct heiress. That which is sure in every way, is that with her one is faced with an authentic romantic. Not only does she know quite well how to present a story and give it rhythm, but moreover, she possesses the art of reproducing the soul and the manners of the real Louisiana. Far from habitual clichés and images of touristic views. It could not be stopped! [I couldn't put it down!] Painted in black, the old French colony has only become more fascinating."
—Alexandre Louis, FROM THE FRENCH LANGUAGE  Magizine Litteraire

"A compelling, fast moving story that grabs the reader and has a surprise ending...."
—Doug Mauldin, The Herald

"Excellent....This is one story that will not be forgotten."
—Rendezvous
