This review is from: In Over Your Head: A Cody J. Bryan Mystery (Cody J. Bryan Mysteries) (Paperback)

I loved this book. I can't wait until the next one in the series is out. Not only did the book keep me totally wrapped up in the story, but it was masterfully written. I also loved the fact that it was short enough to read in two or three sittings. Mr. Hillhouse hit the nail on the head with this book, I now have an another author to add to my favorites list. If you want to read an entertaining book that will make you keep reading, this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars INTRIQUING!, June 5, 2000

This review is from: In Over Your Head: A Cody J. Bryan Mystery (Cody J. Bryan Mysteries) (Paperback)

This is a great story! It kept me guessing and turning the pages, laughing and thinking, intriqued and entertained. Cody is a new breed of detective, the cyber sleuth, and his delicate intrusions into computers (sometimes called hacking), is very enlightening. It gives me similar misgivings toward computers that the movie Jaws did toward the ocean. Can't wait to see what the next in this series brings.
