Editorial Reviews

Review

"Terrific reading!"

Midwest Book Review

Internet Bookwatch, March 1998 "Very, very good. This suspense thriller...is a strong rival for the top dog position in a field profuse with mere Clancy and Grisham clones. Before you pick up another potboiler from a celebrity author, pick up and read Art of Vengeance.

You'll enjoy it. I guarantee."

This is a fun book. It's a quick and easy read with a good plot and some interesting twists. The writing is clear and concise. The author has a real knack for drawing you into the plot by painting vivid pictures of real action scenes. I recommend it for someone looking for a fun mystery detective novel that's easy to read. Sometimes you want a book that doesn't take a lot of work to get through!

This review is from: Art of Vengeance (Paperback)

Very good read. Can feel the hands-on experience from the police officer/author. Many twists and turns but still flows well and with unrelenting excitement. Excellent material for a movie. When he writes another one, I'll get it in a heartbeat.
