A Stolen Season: An Alex McKnight Novel (Alex McKnight Novels) 27 reviews
Steve Hamilton
St. Martin's Minotaur, 2007
Atmosphere & Plot Match
Terrific structure in "A Stolen Season." The start was slow, interesting and fairly simple. For awhile, I was worried when Alex McKnight escaped from a very dangerous situation and just lucked out, escaping from a sure death by not doing anything. I thought the plot was having a little trouble getting off the ground. From that point forward, it's off to the races. The ending is neat. It ends in a ...

Michigan thrillers.
Wow! Ijust loved this novel. Hamilton captures the feel of northern Michigan perfectly. What is it with these Michigan authors?, my two favourite books of the season so far both by Michiganders, 'Ice Run' and Bradlet T Platts 'Deadstream. Both unputdownable and must reads.

The Hunting Wind: An Alex McKnight Mystery (Alex McKnight Novels) 32 reviews
Steve Hamilton
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2002
Make this your first
What's so compelling about this one is that it "shows" rather than tells.
The other books in the series seemed to go deeper into Alex---why he is who he is (and yes, after reading these books, Alex---just like Robert Parker's "Spencer" becomes a very real person) But this book---my favorite so far, just took me off on a wild ride; SHOWING why Alex does what he does---for friends, for the world, ...

Winter of the Wolf Moon: A Mystery (Alex McKnight Novels)45 reviews
Steve Hamilton
St. Martin's Minotaur, 2001
Striking discription and story
This is my second "Alex" Novel. What can you say. You can feel that snow and cold, the boredom that can develop in the Upper and the people that live there and how they cope. His living in Michigan and observations have made him a great writer, any of us that live here in Michigan can feel all that he discribes. His plotting is great also both storys had me wondering all the way to the end. I ...

First and not the last
My wife kept raving on how good the books were. She was up to four read and kept talking about them. I finished another novel and decided it was time. What a interesting story. Especially living in Michigan all my life I found so much research had been done on all of Michigan and Canada also. We in Michigan always have a close relationship with Canada. Many of us have one side of the family ...

A Cold Day in Paradise
Another gripping read by Steve Hamilton. Alex Mcnight as the ex-cop, private investigator with a past which refuses to go away.
Seamless prose combined with an excellent plot makes it an ideal escape for a train or plane journey. No less dramatic, is the backdrop of a fierce Canadian winter. Hamilton creates the ideal atmosphere for this thriller. And snappy dialogue coupled with briliant ...

North of Nowhere: An Alex McKnight Novel (Alex McKnight Novels)22 reviews
Steve Hamilton
St. Martin's Minotaur, 2003
Summer in Paradise
Never play poker with guys not known. Alex came to find this out as he ends up on the floor with a pistol at his head. This begins a novel of who Alex thought was one kind and who they turned out to be. This is quite a surprise and follows to a great ending. I highly recommend this book and have one more to read to complete all he has written to date. Don't miss any of them.

Story breathed new life into the Green Lantern series.
Hal Jordan was a classic, but he was getting old. The series needed a fresh start and this did it. Excellent story.

extraordinare setting
Reading this book when the wind blew you felt it, when Alex was out walking up a hill in a snow storm you felt weak in the legs and frozen in the face. When Vinnie stood up off the snow mobile and shook himself like a dog looking like a snowman you could visulize what he felt. Yes, Mr. Hamilton is a fine writer and his plotting is first class also. I will be reading the last book he has written ...
