Unable to deal with grief over two failed, childless marriages and the loss of the married women he loved more than any other, Chicago homicide detective Lester Miller has considered all the options. He decides to resign from a successful 14-year career with the CPD for a position with the F.B.I.
His plans are tested when a longtime friend, retired police commander, Sonny Newsome, begs Lester to help him save his financially wrought, private detective business. Lester must decide if he has time to investigate a four-month old suicide death after the dead woman's mother comes forward with less than circumstantial evidence.
Skeletons leap out of the closet, buried secrets are exposed and the dark pasts of friends are resurrected. Once Is Never Enough is a cesspool of drama, and the burden to bring justice all falls on the broad shoulders of Lester Miller who has less than 30 days to accomplish this feat.

| "Margie Gosa Shivers has written a story that will hold your attention to find out the truth and to see if Lester will have his dream fulfilled. 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."

Margie Gosa Shivers has done an awesome job
of continuing Lester's story from Anonymity: A Tale of Suspense, Seduction and Revenge. In Once is Never Enough, she once again brings forth vivid and memorable characters and a whole lot of emotional depth takes the readers on an emotional roller coaster ride that won't be easily forgotten. This fast-paced story is full of twists and turns that will have readers twisted in knots and begging for more. I truly enjoyed Once is Never Enough and cannot wait to see what Ms. Shivers has in store for us next.
