What readers say about NINE DAYS TO EVIL:

Jerry Jones, Little Rock, AK I picked up this book at my son and daughter-in-law’s house while I was visiting. After the first page I knew I should not have picked it up because I was leaving the next day and I knew my daughter wanted to read it. It's a page turner! I read most of the night and in the car on the way to the airport. I knew I would be able to sleep on the plane. If you like a good mystery, you will like this book.

Jan Rowe, an artist. Nine Days to Evil is an impressive first book. The plot carries you on and keeps you reading. West held my interest to the end with her interesting, believable characters. The book is enriched by information from the main character's graduate school classes in literature and psychology. This is a good, fast read.

Joe Meador, USA Awesome! The book carries a very thought provoking series of events which keeps the reader in constant suspense. The interweaving of the mystery along with the academic and psychological plots in it make the book hard to put down. It is an exciting book, and the author certainly should be complimented.

drstc, Dallas, TX. Fascinating Mystery. As a psychologist and Shakespeare aficionado, I thoroughly enjoyed Nine Days to Evil. How clever and diabolical the antisocial personality can be in manipulating the trust of someone who believes he is genuine. Nancy Glass West did a superb job of characterization and maintaining intrigue throughout her novel. I look forward to the sequel!

Debbie Jones, Corpus Christi, TX. Good Summer Read. Nancy and I are Lake House neighbors. I knew she was writing a book and I was thrilled to buy it when it was published. When you know someone but not all that well you don't know what to expect of their writing talents. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I'm a big reader, especially mysteries and I've got to say she is right up there with all of the other top mystery authors. I know she is working on a second book. I can see her sitting on her patio writing, and I wonder what she is writing about. What is the plot on this next book going to be? I can't wait to read it!

Gay Young, Austin, TX. Hooked from the first. I found myself hooked early in this mystery with chores put aside so that I could read. Both plot and characters are skillfully drawn. Nine Days to Evil opens with a phone call, a crash, and a disappearance, and moves quickly and suspensefully through the nine days. At the end, I had the impression of having met new friends that I would get to know much better as the mysteries progress.

Dan Johnson, real estate broker. Well paced with believable characters. Nancy West’s Nine Days to Evil is quickly paced with vivid, believable characters. She knows how to make you care about them, the good and the evil, and how to build suspense around their interplay. The plot is imaginative and complicated and moves seamlessly to a surprising but satisfying climax.

J.W. Kothmann, Wimberley, TX. When to trust...when to fight? When trust can't save her, Meredith Laughlin summons courage to fight for her life. Meredith's dilemma and the intriguing characters she meets make this a fascinating read.
