5.0 out of 5 stars Diablo's Shadow - Filled with supense, tension and a shocking outcome., February 19, 2009

By	CG Peterson - See all my reviews

I was waiting in a gas station parking lot the other day, watching a "custody" transfer of a child from one parent to another. This incident brought Diablo's Shadow back to mind - the incredible tension between two estranged parents during an exchange. This book takes on the question, "What happens when a child disappears while in a parent's custody?" In Diablo's Shadow, this of course, happens. The relationship between these two parents is pivotal in determining the course of action they will take and how they delicately handle an emotionally charged situation. Diablo's Shadow does a superb job of telling their story, suctioning the reader from page to page. It both chillingly thrills the reader and demands acceptance to the outcome. Diablo's Shadow is a powerful, third novel - well crafted and full of insight.

As a mystery/suspense novelist, I read with a critical eye. Mark W. Danielson's Diablo's Shadow immediately drew me in and held me suspended until the very end. It's a gripping tale that's nearly impossible to put down, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a suspenseful plot. I confess that I shed a tear or two before the conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding writing!, February 3, 2009

By	Shane Gericke (Naperville, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not being familiar with Mr. Danielson's work, I decided to take a flyer. (So to speak, as he is an airline pilot when not penning mysteries.) In short, wow! Mark's plot is ingenious, and his writing moves like wildfire. I was humming along near the end, convinced I'd figured out who the bad guy was ... and the twist hit me like a shotgun blast. Totally blindsided me. Months later, I still think about how caught I was by it. All in all, a fine piece of writing that I recommend it wholeheartedly.
