It's rare to have so much fun reading a book. It has all the elements.
There is a great mystery and who done it. There is a cast of
characters you love and wonder about. The main characters are serious
and funny at the same time. Its a great mystery and a great ride to
figure it out. It is short, engaging, and funny. Can't wait for the
next one. Mickey on Amazon
Like another reviewer, I could not put the book down. I got into the book to the point I blew off Olympic action, feeding the dogs, and fixing lunch. This is a good book. Nate makes you like him, in spite of yourself. The story is focused on corruption, greed and lies in a small town in New England. The important people want to use Nate to investigate the death of a teenager, but only on their terms. The belief that Nate could not find his way out of a small closet is way off the mark. He is persistent and smart and he solves puzzles as they come up. At the same time, we see his difficulty with relationships. But, he is working on that. This is a good book. It is a page turner, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Texanne on Amazon
WARNING: Do not start reading this if you have something important to do! Could not put it down. Well, nothing to put down actually. I couldn't stop reading I should say since I used my PC monitor for the Kindle version. In the interest of full disclosure I know the author slightly and have been to his house in SF about other issues. Not really an influence on this review. In fact, I was prepared to be unimpressed. I knew he did some writing. I intended to scan through a couple chapters and get on with my busy life. Yeah, right. I got sucked in. A great story, intriguing mystery, well crafted, flows very well, good sense of place, believable characters you care about. A page turner perfect for a day at the beach. You won't be disappointed.
