promised land by bob adamov
I truly enjoyed Mr Adamov's writing, this book couldn't be put down until I had finished reading. He paints such a vivid picture of the story he is telling you have no problem following his thoughts. He keeps leading you along on his journey you have no choice but to follow and be totally involved in the story line. The swamp scene was a little drawn out but enjoyable with the colorful people he ...

History and Murder Collide
For readers of true crime this book presents a compelling murder mystery but one that requires a full examination of history to fully understand the case at hand. As an American this book discloses with harsh reality how the term due process is not the same in all parts of the world. The story of Eric Volz is one of immense personal courage when faced with the hatered of an entire nation. I ...

The Tornado Struck at Midnight
A thoroughly enjoyable read! From the moment I started reading this intriguing mystery, I found myself setting sail on The Granada, along with a cast of characters worthy of Agatha Christie, and knew I was in for a thrill-a-minute Carribean cruise. How right I was!

Hate to read?
I used to hate to read. One of my friends told me that they just finished what is now their all time favorite novel. I didn't really care about hearing what he was telling me, so he told me to stop being lazy and to pick up the book and read it. He bet me I couldn't finish reading it in a week. Since he bet me, I just had to read it. I started off hating the book. I couldn't believe I was ...

Threshold of Pain8 reviews
Dennis M. Banahan
Rutledge Books, 2000
Read this Book
Policemen become involved in any number of good story telling situations in the course of their careers. Most become adept in recounting these stories both to their colleagues and to their non police friends. Dennis Banahan is by far the best story teller I have come accross in my own career. He proves that in this book! I was privileged to read this book several years before it was published ...

Murder on Appeal3 reviews
Holmes Marshall
Xlibris Corporation, 2001
Highly realistic Murder mystery
A great read. I love mysteries that are puzzles and this is one the best. Author is familiar with the criminal justice system; the novel rings with authenticity. The plot is well paced and suspenseful. The protagonist is an original, a jurist as the detective. Justice Scott is richly nuanced, neither eccentric nor stuffy, one of a kind. Overall, the mystery has a fresh and original quality.

Bottled Spider2 reviews
John Gardner
Severn House Publishers, 2002
Wonderful to be able to read this great writer again.
Shame on Amazon. I have not been able to find a book I had not read by John Gardner in over five years. I consider him the most outstanding author of thrillers and spy fiction on any continent and had lost track of him when he returned to England after living here in Virginia several years. While many think of John Gardner as a Bond writer, actually much better than Fleming or Benson, that ...

The Haunted Monastery and the Chinese Maze Murders3 reviews
Robert van Gulik
Dover Publications, 1977
Whodunit??
Robert Van Gulik evidently had a lot of fun translating "Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee"; when he couldn't find any more Judge Dee mysteries, he decided to write his own. "The Haunted Monastery" takes place during one night (appropriately dark and stormy) in a Buddhist monastery where several young girls have disappeared without a trace; among the characters are a Taoist sage, a dissolute abbot, ...

Philip McLaren

A Dark, Compelling Mystery Down Under
The best books are the ones that after you read, you realize you've learned a great many things you didn't know before. Such is the case with Scream Black Murder, by Aboriginal writer Philip McLaren. To begin with, this is a suspensful, white-knuckled thriller. The author does an amazing job getting in the head of a deranged killer who targets aboriginal women in and around Sydney, Australia. ...

It Isn't Murder If They're Yankees3 reviews
Jerry Stratton
Pagefree Publishing, 2002
Hard to "genrefy"
The novel is in a class by itself. It is especially timely even though much of the planning seems to have been done before 9-11. I think the Quiet Man is a Jedermann gone berzerk and maybe finds a dark spot deep in all of us There once was a guy with an alarm living across the street from me whom I wouldn't have minded blowing up.

Murder in Lisbon3 reviews
Sidney F. Davis
1st Books Library, 1997
Sidney Davis hits Homerun
As a retired airline Captain I usually approach aviation fiction with skeptiscism, but I was convinced Davis had hit a home run halfway through Chapter One. His flying scenes are the best I've read in a long time. His characters are well developed, a rarity in current fiction. The heroes have warts, too. The plot is simply terrific and I hope Davis is writing another book on aviation. I second ...

Martyrs' Tomb-- Fresh New Fiction with a Message
Five Stars This new author is well worth some attention. In Martyrs' Tomb Hicks brings a refreshingly honest voice to fiction. His tale of intrigue at a South Florida drug rehabilitation program is first rate, page turning, detective mystery. But there is something deeper going on in this message rich novel. Hicks articulates with fierce clarity the real frustrations felt by those who struggle ...

The Amadeus Legacy3 reviews
Richard Helms
AuthorHouse, 2002
Dazzling Thriller
If you crave sleep, stay away from this book. Once you start THE AMADEUS LEGACY, sleep will no longer be an option. At least not until you've finished. Simply put, you will not be able to put it down. Helms' latest winner is fast-paced with non-stop action and a plot as intricate as it is brilliantly conceived. It tells the story of Geoffrey Sterling, who must solve the mystery of "Amadeus," a ...
