While all this is happening he is faced with coming to grips with his feelings about Deidre, the roommate of his daughter, seventeen years his junior. Deborah Malone, author of the Trixie Montgomery Cozy Mystery series writes of As A Shield, 'Don't let the sleepy little town of Adairsville fool you. Underneath the quiet exterior lies mystery and mayhem.' In his review of As A Shield, Jim Richter, Global Security Director of Team Expansion states.
