Praise for Fragments of Fear
"A rollercoaster ride with a lovable protagonist and a suspenseful, twisty plot." --Colleen Coble
"Over the years, Carrie has mastered forensic art, fine art, and her own brand of offbeat humor. As a novelist she combines these skills with another: puzzle writing--scattering puzzle pieces all over her fictional universe and then dropping them into place in twists, surprises, revelations, and side-pocket whimsy until the big picture emerges, never too soon, always on the brink of disaster." --Frank Peretti
"I love Carrie Stuart Park's skill in writing characters with hysterical humor, unwitting courage, and page-turning mystery. I hope my readers won't abandon me completely when they learn about her " --Terri Blackstock, USA TODAY bestselling author of the If I Run series
