"Southern Lights”   by Danielle Steel

Review # 53

Meet Alexa, a strikingly beautiful Manhattan assistant district attorney who is in the middle of vigorously prosecuting a serial-killer case and Alexa’s equally beautiful teenage daughter, Savannah, who is preparing to graduate from high school and leave home for college. Alexa is a single parent whose husband, Tom, walked out on her and Savannah when the girl was very young. As the serial-killer case moves forward, Savannah begins to receive anonymous and creepy letters, presumably from the killer. Fearing for Savannah's life, Alexa packs her off to South Carolina to live with her father and his reluctant wife. That's when the adventures really start! As usual, everything is tied up neatly by the end, but it's interesting getting there.

This is a little different from Danielle Steel's normal fare, but her fans will readily embrace it.
