This review of ABSOLUTION appeared in The Florida Times-Union (Jacksonville).
"Intertwining relevent 21st century issues with captivating character development, suspense and humor, Susan Fleet has created a crime drama that stands far above the ordinary whodunit. A serial killer who targets women is on the loose in New Orleans. Nerves are tighter than the strings on a jazz piano, while racial tensions and religious controversy play into detective Frank Renzi's efforts to find the killer before another victim suffers." -- Kathy Hunt
