Entertaining, suspenseful, totally unexpected and has a love story mingled in with it.” – MariLou Georges for confessionsofreader.blogspot.com

“The characters in this book are strongly defined and very, very memorable. The Modesto, CA setting is so well described that a fan and a cool drink is almost a requirement while reading this smoothly written mystery. When the ending arrives, you know that you’ve been on a wild ride with a spirited and feisty woman. – “Mary R. Fairchild “Mare F”

“Author R P Dahlke has combined suspenseful murder and even humor in the creation of A Dead Red Heart.  And I have to admit, I didn’t come up with the real murder until the end. This author really kept me guessing and changing my mind.” – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat .
