I am not generally a reader of fiction, and when I read anything like this genre, it tends to be true crime. I am a fan of Ann Rule. But I must say that discovering Sylvia Nobel has resulted in a wonderful expansion of my "reading diet." Her ability to tell a story creates a page-turner, and I am a person that always found truth to be better than fiction, as far as grabbing my attention was concerned. I live in Arizona and enjoy this author's settings. They really capture the flavor of this state's many facets. This is the second book of hers that I've read and really enjoyed. I fully intend to read all of her other works.

I really like Kendall O'Dell, especially as her character develops through each book. There is a bit of the romance writer's touch in Ms. Nobel's series, and it adds a nice touch. I'm a guy and I don't usually read romance novels, but these works have a refreshing balance.

If you want to treat yourself to a first-rate mystery that is well written and thoroughly exciting, I heartily recommend this book to you.

The Devil's Cradle is so well written that you do not want to put it down. You just have to find out what happens next and house work and everything else just has to wait! I love the fact that I have visited many of the places in Arizona that she writes about in her stories. After reading her first two books, I immediately went on line and ordered the next three. Can't wait for the next one to be published!!

Five stars is not enough to rate this top notch book. It was a page turner to say the very least and most enjoyable! Very, very clever and witty. Couldn't put it down! I'd say it's a good thing I have found this brilliant author because Sue Grafton is running out of letters.

This book was incredibly intriguing and suspenseful! As with Deadly Sanctuary, I actually stayed up all night long for several days in a row getting to the bottom of this mystery. I just couldn't put it down! I was going into work as a walking zombie! Kendell O'Dell is quickly becoming on of my favorite heroines, along with Anne Shirley of Green Gables (another feisty red head). I definitely recommend this book. I can't wait for Sylvia Nobel's next novel, although I will have to start it on a weekend!

This book was a great one! The ending was a knockout! I thought I knew who did it... boy was I wrong. Ms. Noble has outdone herself on this book. The best read I have had this year. Bravo

I enjoyed Sylvia Nobel's second novel, Devil's Cradle, as muchas I enjoyed her first novel, Deadly Sanctuary. The heroine, KendellO'Dell, is a feisty redhead who is smart, quick-witted and very daring. The book is written in a lively, fun-to-read style that keeps you turning page after page. Each new page adds new questions and just when you think you have something figured out, you find out you are heading down the wrong path. The whodunit ending was not at all what I expected. I challenge any one to figure this story out before they get to the end - it is anything but predictable. In addition to providing an excellent story line, Devil's Cradle gives an excellent description of Arizona and its many wonders. By the time you finish the book - which won't take long if you're like me and have trouble putting it down - you'll feel as though you've traveled with Kendell through the Arizona desert, mountains and plains. If you like a good mystery with a little romance, you'll truly enjoy Devil's Cradle. I hope Ms. Nobel finishes her next book soon - I'm ready to read it.

This was a really entertaining book. I didn't know how the story would end and I couldn't stop reading. The Devil's Cradle was exciting and mysterious. I would recommend it to anyone who likes an adventure/mystery book.

The Devil's Cradle is an excellent book. I've read the first book and was looking forward to reading this one... and wasn't disappointed. I was kept on the edge of my seat almost the whole time.

This is probably my favorite of the O'Dell series. There were so many different things going on and I had no clue about the ending. Wonderful book and series!!!

A true page turner! Im loving the series! Then ending to this one was definitely something i wasnt expecting! Very shock and awe! Enjoyed it and looking forward to reading the 3rd book next!
