5.0 out of 5 stars
Thank God the good guys won!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Devil and Lieutenant Hilderbrand (Hardcover)
This is one hell of a story, just believable enough to hold your attention, but borderline spooky; a perfect balance. It concernes a theme that really touches on a nerve, the existence of pure evil in the world. When someone first discoveres this fact, be it at an early age or later life, it is one of those quote "innocence lost" moments that haunts one throughout ones life. So I guess this, and the symbolic rising from the dead, are the big "hooks" of this story. Thank God the good guys won!

The Devil Indeed!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Devil and Lieutenant Hilderbrand (Hardcover)
A nifty twisted* little piece complete with a taste southern justice. Sometimes things aren't what they seem to be. Loads of dialog that keeps you atuned to what the characters are feeling and reacting to. (*Twist being the operative word.) If you're in the mood for a nice creepy evening, I recommend this little devil.

An entertaining read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Devil and Lieutenant Hilderbrand (Hardcover)
Grabbed my attention right away! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced thriller. I liked the refreshing fact that Anson (hero) was strong and disciplined without being superman. The villian is someone I'd surely want to avoid, but according to this story, that would be difficult to do. (How do you stay away from someone who simply blends in?) Reading this book was like being an insider on both sides of good and evil. Great ending!
