Editorial Reviews

Review

"A Deadly Change of Course-Plan B is a fun, light mystery from first-time author Gina Cresse." -- Pasadena Star-News

"Cresse's first novel is well written, offers full-bodied main characters, and contains good background information on plane crashes, sailing, and the computer business. Congenial, low-key Devonie is the draw here." -- Booklist

"Techno-crime thriller headed for Hollywood.-Hollywood already has its hooks into the first-time author's work. California native Gina Cresse has produced a fast-moving techno crime thriller." -- Inland Valley - Daily Bulletin

Ms. Cresse 's writing was so very refreshing and innovative. Her main character, Devonie Lace, was enchanting and real. I couldn't wait to turn the page to see what was going to happen next. The book was exciting from beginning to end. I will be looking for her next novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced mystery worthy of leisure time reading., June 3, 1998

This review is from: A Deadly Change of Course-Plan B (Hardcover)

I found the book to be light and easy to read. I especially enjoyed the rapid pace, which assured me that with every few pages I could expect another revealing twist.

The first-person writing style allowed me to almost experience the virtual sensation of "hearing" the main character speak to me. At moments, I was her audience of one. And the intermittent third-person narratives provided just enough background to keep me on track with the story-line. I found the combination of writing styles refreshing.
