COMMENTS FROM REVIEWERS
"A quick read, the author did a great job of pacing the story and creating characters that were very believable and likeable as well. Pick up a copy of Once Is Never Enough if you are looking for a good murder mystery with a twist of romance. You won’t be disappointed." --Idrissa Uqdah, AALBC

"Her characters are well presented with unique personalities and the plot is told through their eyes. With her own style of inventiveness the author has chosen to end the book with some questions to ponder or discuss. Touching on passion, crime, revenge and more, the plot follows smoothly and I found it to be a great read." --Cheryl Ellis, Allbooks Reviews
"Margie Gosa Shivers has done an excellent job with the storyline, and the characters all shine with their unique personalities. I especially liked Jennifer's mother Gayle Nichols. At 51 she is doing her thang... with the much younger Giles...you go girl! I enjoyed this book, if you are looking for a story with murder and revenge with a colorful cast of characters, this book is for you." --Locksie, ARC BOOK CLUB INC
"Once is Never Enough" is a great fast read. The plot flows nicely with chapters head hopping between main characters. The characters are well developed and plot very well planned. The story touches on crime, mystery, and romance, and makes for a nice combination. A good read indeed. --Heather Froeschl, Bookreview.com
The action and emotional depth takes the readers on an emotional roller coaster ride that won’t be easily forgotten." --Sonya of Fallen Angel Reviews
Margie Gosa Shivers gets every possible inch out of each of her characters. There is enough death, corruption and betrayal to satisfy any reader." --Brenda A. Snodgrass, Curled Up With A Good Book
Once Is Never Enough is an impressive addition to the world of suspense. Shivers does a solid job of presenting believable characters in realistic situations that transpire everyday. Whether we like it or not, the world of politics is a shadowy one at best, and those of us who live our lives outside the realm of its typical machinations would often be shocked to know the real goings-on behind the scenes. In her compelling, fast-moving tale, Shivers delivers a excellent commentary of political intrigue at its worst, a la Devil In A Blue Dress. With enough diversions to keep you guessing til the very end, Once Is Never Enough is guaranteed to entertain. --Toni Watson, Apex Reviews

ABOUT ONCE IS NEVER ENOUGH
Unable to deal with the pain of two failed, childless marriages or annihilate the grief over the loss of the married woman he loved more than any other, Chicago homicide detective Lester Miller is leaving town. After considering all of his options, Lester decides to resign from a successful 14-year career with the police department and relocate to Virginia for a position with the F. B. I.

His best laid plans are severely tested when a longtime friend, retired police commander, Sonny Newsome pays an unexpected visit to pull in a favor. Sonny’s private eye firm is in financial jeopardy; he’s desperate and begs Lester to help get him out of this jam. Capitalizing on her romantic ties with a Chicago alderman, the dead woman’s mother cunningly comes forward with less than circumstantial evidence to Sonny’s detective agency.

Caught in a vice between loyalty to a friend or leaving to maintain his own sanity, Lester must decide if he has time to investigate a four month old suicide death. Lester’s only lead from the victim’s mother is a shot in the dark.
