About this listen
Sheila Lowe’s Poison Pen was hailed as a “fast-paced, crisp...novel that penetrates the world of celebrity.” (Armchair Interviews) And Hollywood forensic handwriting expert Claudia Rose is about to prove once more that no matter what words it forms, a pen will always write the truth.
Claudia Rose’s latest client is a dime-a-dozen type. The widow of a rich older man, Paige Sorensen is younger than - and hated by - her stepchildren. And they’re dead set on proving that Paige forged their father’s signature on his will, which left his entire estate, including the Sorensen Academy, to her.
Intrigued by this real-life soap opera, Claudia soon breaks one of the cardinal rules of business: Never get personally involved. But Claudia has grown attached to a troubled Sorensen student, and when disaster strikes, she’ll realize that reading between the lines can mean the difference between life and death.
“[Claudia’s] sharper, tougher, and more tenacious than ever.” (American Chronicle)

Story
Like millions of Americans, Dr. John VanDuyne is stunned to watch President Tom Winston announce his plans to legalize narcotics in a radical bid to destroy the power of the drug cartels. Especially since, as Winston’s personal physician and a government health spokesman, VanDuyne might have expected some prior warning. And now he’s going to be right in the firing line when the uproar begins. For President Winston, his daring plan could turn out to be political suicide. For VanDuvne, it’s going to be much worse than that.

As the chief forensic anthropologist for the FBI’s Chicago field office, Christine Prusik has worked her fair share of bizarre cases. Yet this one trumps them all: a serial killer is strangling young women and dumping their bodies in the steep, forested ravines of southern Indiana. With each victim, the killer leaves a calling card: a stone figurine carved like the spirit stones found among the native tribes of Papua New Guinea—the same tribes Prusik worked with a decade earlier while doing field research.

Claudia meets Annabelle
I am an audiobook fan of these Forensic Mystery Books but the first few audiobooks are being released last. So now I'm getting the backstory and this book 2 is where Claudia meets Annabelle. They are my two favorite characters, each a strong female who constantly clash and constantly admire each other. The sparks flying between them charge up the fascinating tidbits of handwriting forensics interspersed in all their challenging situations. Being a handwriting analysis lover and a mystery lover, this book is a perfect listen for me. I highly recommend it to all.

Super! Back to book 1 to start fresh.
A couple times I almost gave up because the story seemed too predictable, then not predictable enough, then like it was going to end this way which woul— wait, now it’s going another way and...
Glad I stuck with it. Super ending.
The narrator was pretty good. She was consistent with the characters, voiced other and and female characters evenly well, and didn’t make the teenager sound more or less young, angry, scared, etc than she was written as.
I was given a free copy of this book. I just finished and am eager to go backwards to start at the beginning of this series.

Another well-written story from a very good author
I got this book back earlier this month because the premise sounded good and even though I'd read it before the re-read was even better thanks to Anna Crowe's narration adding to the enjoyment of a very book., Excellent well-written mystery, even better than the first book. The characters are likable & attention-holding. The plot and the sub-plot were both well-developed. “I received a free Audible copy of this book and I'm voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I'll be reading more from this author and in this series. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Handwriting Analyst Extraordinaire
I was as entertained by book two as I was by the first book in this "Forensic Handwriting Mystery" series. I liked the almost non-stop action that kept my attention centered on this story. I liked trying to figure out the mystery by the clues that were provided in the tale. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I thought Anna Crowe's narration was fine, and her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was gifted a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which included my honest opinions regarding this story.

Great mystery
It is amazing the things one will do for love- commit crimes, shelter stray child, follow and save the life of someone. Joel seems to have boundless patience and love for Claudia. Claudia seems to attract danger at every turn. Entertaining and suspenseful. I hadn't figured out the bad guys until revealed. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Great Read
Written in Blood (Forensic Handwriting Mystery #2) was another great read by Sheila Lowe. Claudia Rose is a Hollywood forensic handwriting expert and is going to prove that a pen always writes the truth. Her latest client is the widow of a rich older man, Paige Sorensen. She's hated by her step children that want to prove that Paige forged their father's signature on his will. He left his entire estate to her and it includes Sorensen Academy. Claudia gets personally involved which is a cardinal rule of her business. There is a student, Annabelle, at Sorensen that Claudia gets attached to. Then disaster happens and she will go to any lengths to get Annabelle safe. I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read more by Sheila Lowe.
