Kitty Sewell's Psychological Suspense

Kitty Sewell's new novel, Bloodprint, delivers on its promise to be, as the book jacket states, a "searing novel of psychological suspense." Madeleine West plays the starring role in this book, as she is the flawed heroine who has fled her native island of Key West due to a devastating hearbreak, and taken up residence in the ancient city of Bath, England. When Rachel Locklear visits Madeleine's office seeking therapy, Madeleine is intrigued and increasingly fascinated by the history of the hostile, damaged young woman, whose childhood eerily echoes Madeleine's. Sinister forces have begun acting in Rachel's life and she is on the run from her ruthless partner, her child's father, who will do whatever he can to control Rachel and her son. This is a tale of revenge and deception that takes place on the beautiful tropical island of Key West as well as the crumbling, historical streets of Bath. Madeleine and Rachel and their painful pasts collide in this story with Cuban sorcery, prostitution and murder. The story is both terrifying and compelling and it is hard to put down once you begin reading it. Ms. Sewell was born in Sweden and trained to be a psychotherapist and a sculptor before she found her true love in the art of writing. Her first novel, Ice Trap is the story of a British surgeon who discovers he fathered twins in icy, remote Canada fifteen years earlier, and details the unraveling of his career and marriage as he confronts the demons of his past.
