“I was riveted by WB Henley’s novel, Inescapable. It held my attention from beginning to end as it weaved its tale through the perspective of many people in the town in Alabama. It was a great exploration of what is seen versus what is truth.” – Kristin Daryl, author of Emerald Coast Affairs and Be Good: A Southern Suspense
“Murder. Mayhem. Mystery. Throw in philandering husbands and plotting wives and you have the perfect read for lovers of the crime genre. Henley has spun a yarn full of completely believable characters and situations. The dialogue is exceptional in tone, Southern idioms and moved the story along well. Highly satisfactory read. Looking forward to more.” – Tk Cassidy, author of The Life and Times of 13B, Almost Brilliant, A 500-Year Love, Whoodah Thunket and the Girls, and her latest, Whoodah Hitchin’s
“Author WB Henley’s debut mystery novel, Inescapable, is aptly named. It is a tale most readers will find inescapable, magnetic, complicated and impossible to put down until the very last page.
