About this product
Product Information
Merryn Huntley is rudely awakened to the many bad decisions she has made in her life when she is told by two Dallas police officers that her wealthy husband Beau has been killed in a car accident, along with a local waitress. Merryn's first instinct is to flee in order to protect her nine-year-old daughter, and the only place that feels safe enough is her mother's beautiful, isolated home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The situation worsens when two FBI agents show up and begin to ask Merryn questions about her husband's business.

Reviews
"At once a thriller, a psychological study, an experiment in technique and a portrait of the Mexican 'Hamptons,' San Miguel de Allende....Smoothly plotted and compulsively readable. The narrative technique is brilliant and the characters leap off the page, vivid with life." --Southampton Press "Ms. Jones has a masterly control of her story." --East Hampton Star "A fun and quick summer read with an interesting and complex plot. Takes this one to the beach for a good end-of-the-summer read." --The Book Binder's Daughter "Kaylie Jones stacks her story with interesting characters and intriguing developments....A fast-paced book that also manages to feel intimate. It's a good one." --Vox Libris "A nice mix of drama, romance, and mystery that will keep you turning the pages through to the end." --A New Day "Jones creates a superb sense of place and carries the reader over each cobblestone in San Miguel de Allende....Warm, scary, disturbing and lovable characters and an interesting story line make The Anger Meridian worth reading and sharing." --DindyWrites "Kaylie has outdone herself...a thrilling and suspenseful novel that will have you hopelessly hooked from page one." --Confessions of a Book Junkie "With overlapping criminal investigations against a blaring psycho-dramatic backdrop, Jones delves into life's vicissitudes and our coping mechanisms. [The] Anger Meridian holds our attention with a[n]...engaging plot that is expertly and vividly written." --Kaietur News (Guyana) "The Anger Meridian is an impossible-to-put-down book. Kaylie Jones is a master storyteller, and this is her best one yet." --Ann Hood, author of An Italian Wife "The Anger Meridian is a sexy, sleek page-turner. Uncertain Merryn loses her husband in an unsavory accident--and her first instinct is to flee. She gathers her beloved hyper-allergic daughter and a teddy bear full of cash and races across the border to her mother's house in the colonial city of San Miguel de Allende. But Merryn feels the noose tightening as her flamboyant, overbearing mother begins to threaten and the FBI closes in. Jones deftly weaves together a thriller, a family drama, a romance, and a story of self-awakening in this taut, suspenseful, and beautiful novel." --Taylor Polites, author of The Rebel Wife "Kaylie Jones has written a narrative that ingeniously marries the atmosphere of the longtime outpost of American expats in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, with a narrator who lives in so much denial that she creates her own magic realism. And the mother, a living nightmare, is too awful to be true, and too true not to believe. The characters in this book made me laugh, drop my jaw in outrage, nod in acknowledgment, and then they hung around long after I turned the last page." --Beverly Donofrio, author of Astonished: A Story of Healing and Finding Grace Praise for Kaylie Jones: "Although we've gotten used to second-generation actors equaling or surpassing the accomplishments of their parents, the same hasn't happened with second-generation novelists. Nonetheless there are a few, and added to their small number ought to be Kaylie Jones." --New York Times, "Kaylie Jones has written a narrative that ingeniously marries the atmosphere of the longtime outpost of American expats in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, with a narrator who lives in so much denial that she creates her own magic realism.
