We've cast our May 4th 1pm Saturday Spotlight on Anne Scardino, author of A Tangled Affair. Anne Scardino, a building and design consultant-turned-novelist, has always had a passion for writing, whether it be social commentary or design and travel. Anne holds a degree in journalism from Temple University and has taken coursework at Moore College of Art and Design and The New School. For twenty-five years she has volunteered at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, a home away from home for the families of seriously ill children. An avid fan of music and travel, Anne resides in Philadelphia. Her favorite place is Turks and Caicos.

A Tangled Affair is a mystery, suspense novel written in the style of Danielle Steel and John Grisham that takes place in Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore, and Turks and Caicos.

Clair Bondi makes the painful decision to divorce the only man she ever loved—Vince Bondi, her husband of twenty-five years. But Clair never gets the chance to tell Vince she is leaving him, because he is found fatally shot in his Porsche one night when driving home from his weekly tennis game. Haunted by his death, Clair is determined to help the Philadelphia police find the killer. Vince’s secret life, including an account in Turks and Caicos, forces Clair to realize that he wasn’t the man she thought he was. No longer the “good wife,” Clair’s strength and resilience take her from her darkest moment to a life unimagined—one with true love and purpose.
