By A Customer
This review is from: Adirondack Detective (Paperback)
This book is a novel of engaging frightening crime adventures. In Private Investigator JASON BLACK,The Author a former State Police member has given us a man at the prime of middle age who works wholeheartedly for his world of small towns,long lakes, and large forests, where honest people care about and reach out to help one another. This book is a tribute to a very special place on earth and a testimony of enduring love for the connected communities that thrive there in The Adirondack Mountains of New York State. The reader will meet some of the people who live and work inside of the "Blue Line." The author, the son of a logger,will introduce you to Wilt, who carves Bears out of logs with chain saws. And, you'll meet Dale, a pilot, who flies a vintage Stinson seaplane, who sometimes takes hunters into remote areas. It is truly a special place on earth. Read it, you'll love it.

A Police Report,
By Edward Atlas (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adirondack Detective (Paperback)
I was disappointed in this book. I have never been to the Adirondacks but have always wanted to visit. This book may have captured the surroundings but the people dont seem real. As a 20-year veteran of law enforcement I was expecting a good mystery. What I read was a story where there was too little mystery and far too much detail. It reads like a police report. Short choppy sentences and no mundane details left out. Who wants to read about every time he feeds his dog and a description of every meal he eats? One of the characters is kidnapped and held captive but there is never a motivation for the suspects' actions. Police reports contain facts but not feelings, emotions, opinions or conclusions. This reader was left without emotion at the conclusion of this book. How disappointing!

Adirondack Detective was a big hit with me!,
By John Maxey (Verona NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adirondack Detective (Paperback)
I just finished Adirondack Detective last night. John Briant weaves an alluring tale of intigue, mystery, romance, honor, and integrity set in NY's own Adirondack beauty. Having traveled through the region yesterday on business myself made reading the last 50 climactic pages last night even more exciting. John's special way of writing made me feel like I had become old friends with all the characters in Adirondack Detective - As I ate lunch yesterday in Old Forge I could imagine these fictional people coming into the diner and taking their places there as well beside me. John presents his story in a way that honor's the beauty and reverence of the Adirondack region, and it leaves me wanting to come back there again and again. I take my hat off to you John Briant and eagerly await your next book. In the meantime I recommend Adirondack Detective to anyone who admires and respects the nature and beauty of the Adirondacks (or any great park in our nation) and who enjoys a great intrigueing mystery - romance story. The only problem I forsee is settling the arguement between my two teenage daughters as to who gets to read my copy of Adirondack Detective first!
