5.0 out of 5 stars
Cure for Adult ADD, August 18, 2004
This review is from: LOGO: A "Mystery-By-Design" Series Book (Paperback)
I'll start with a confession - I usually either get bored or fall asleep within 15 minutes of picking up a book - it's sad, and that's why I don't read as often as I should.
BUT - there is so much in this book, so many interesting tidbits about NYC, fashion, interior design, movie and book quotes, sports references, and even non-fictional info about the world of design that it actually keeps my attention! Vivid imagery - I actually picture myself in the NYC design firm's office, or the huge Pharmaceutical company's Headquarters with its beautiful boardroom table and comfy swivel chairs.
I admit I was skeptical when the book was recommended by a friend - how can a murder mystery in the logo design business seem real to life? (I'm one of those people who watched The Practice and said "now THAT would never happen" and ruined it for everyone else..) It's amazing, but it works in this novel! The setting is perfect, and the characters are totally believable.
Give it a shot - I'm only half-way through and actually look forward to going to bed early to continue reading, rather than watching 15 different channels of television while vacuuming and bathing the dog!
Fully entertaining, I can't imagine one reader who would not find it engaging!

an excellent read, June 26, 2004
This review is from: LOGO: A "Mystery-By-Design" Series Book (Paperback)
The author knows his stuff! He has put together a story that not only gives you the "feel" of that world but also adds that touch of mystery that keeps your interest keen to read more. There is more to this book than just another beach read. Let's watch for his next effort!!!!

Takes mystery into new territory!, July 13, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: LOGO: A "Mystery-By-Design" Series Book (Paperback)
This smart, fast-paced mystery sets itself apart with its unassuming hero, who just happens to be a first-rate logo designer. Being a designer myself, I love how the author incorporated insights into the fascinating world of graphic design. And I was inspired as the modest hero held his own against a world of corporate big-shots. This read has all the classic elements in a good mystery -- murder, greed, romance -- and you'll learn a few things about design along the way.
