5.0 out of 5 stars The Presence of Grace, March 10, 2001

This review is from: The Presence of Grace (Holden Grace Novels) (Paperback)

If you are already a lover of detective novels,just getting started or just love to read, then "The Presence of Grace" is a must read for you.

Holden Grace, a private detective in upstate New York, is asked to find the missing sister of his best friend. Thus begins a journey of twists and turns that makes it difficult to take a break from this exciting novel.

As Holden digs deeper into this mystery he is led on a trail of deception and danger that results in "edge of your seat" reading. You will appreciate the wit and charm of Holden Grace as he encounters several unusual, ordinary and extraordinary characters.

"The Presence of Grace" is the first novel of a brand new series and what a terrific novel it is! Several friends, besides myself, have read this novel in record time and we are anxiously waiting for the next.

Daniel Surdam has certainly captured the essence of what a true detective novel should be. There may be times, with other books, when you can figure out the mystery before you read that last page. With "The Presence of Grace" you have to read that last page to know just "who done it" or "did he?" Buy the book and read for yourself!

2.0 out of 5 stars The Presence of Grace, April 18, 2002

This review is from: The Presence of Grace (Holden Grace Novels) (Paperback)

While this could have been a decent detective story, the poor publishing quality detracted from any story that was there. My copy of this book was missing pages 63-67, not that they were particularly relevant in the end, but who knew at the time. The book is littered with grammatical and typographical errors. Mr. Surdam went into painful detail on several occasions when it seemed more appropriate to allow the reader to use his or her imagination. I hope his next adventure with Holden Grace is better proofed and edited.
