What people are saying about "On This Night"...

CLUE meets Gone With the Wind! Ms Diaz excels in period pieces and this fast paced novel kept me guessing at every page. As always, her historical facts are well researched and lend an additional air of authenticity to the suspenseful tale. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys mystery, murder, mayhem, southern history and of course a good love triangle.

I can't pinpoint what it is about this book that reminds me of other works by my all-time favorite authors. I'm not sure what, if anything, my favorite authors even have in common. All I can say is that, for whatever reason, once I discovered Daphne du Maurier; Victoria Holt; and Mary Higgins-Clark, I was hooked on their writing. Nothing else ever truly satisfied. Until now. For the countless times I wished for more "like theirs," this book has more than made up the lack. Throughout, I found myself mentally shouting, "YES, AT LAST!" The quality of Debra Diaz' writing is SUPERB; I am in awe. More, Ms. Diaz, please - MUCH more. Thank you.

This was a … great way to dip into our country's past life. You find that you want another book by Diaz when you are finished with this one.

Set in Natchez, Mississippi at the end of the Civil War, "On This Night" is the story of multiple branches of a family thrust together in one household, where, in a single night, an unfortunate incident sets off a chain of multiple murders and everyone is suspect.

On This Night reads easily, the tempo following a swift pace. Interesting slice of history of civil war. It was also interesting to study the role of women during these times…well done, Ms. Diaz!

This was a really good book. The story line was out of the ordinary, it has good character development, good descriptions and it stayed with me after I read it. The author kept you guessing clear to the end as to who the villain was.

A brilliant and heartwarming story with suspense and mystery weaved around the era of the Civil War. The book is fiction but filled with historical events which I loved. Well done!
