The Reason by Sandra M. Colbert is a compelling page-turner about a heinous murder. From the beginning, there is little doubt who committed the crime. The suspense that drives the book is not whodunit but why they done it.

“This is her first book of short stories but I’m betting it certainly won’t be her last.”
