From the Author

Red Herring is the first in a series of books featuring lead character Charlie Noble. Throughout the series I intend to have Charlie work his way slowly up the Inside Passage in his adventures. This is an area I love and have cruised through extensively over the last decade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great NW Thriller, September 8, 2005

D. L. Urner (Port Orchard, WA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Red Herring (Paperback)
If you enjoy intricately woven mysteries this is definitely one worth checking out, especially if you like a well crafted sense of place. Ford knows and loves boats and the waters around Bellingham and the San Juans and through his story you can feel the beauty and the challenges of the place that engender such strong passions.

Ford's protagonists really struck a chord with me. I admire his skill at reflecting the complexities of his characters and their struggles to reconcile duty, honor, and integrity -- like so many a good yarn this one ends to soon. Thankfully there is plenty to keep chewing on while we wait for Charlie Noble's next adventure to begin. I hope he keeps gunkholing around the San Juans for a long time to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrills on the Water, June 24, 2005
This review is from: Red Herring (Paperback)
Carefully tuned and finely paced, this is a totally satisfying, modern, page-turning, mystery. The characters are well-crafted, and the dialogue weaves with the sizzling action seamlessly, like a musical prelude. The vivid descriptions of the Vancouver/Bellingham coastal islands, however, leave you breathless and wanting to jump aboard the nearest boat. I'm already a Charlie Nobel fan, I can't wait for the next installment to hit the shelves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Red Herring, April 11, 2005
By 
This review is from: Red Herring (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this Charlie Noble novel by Clyde W Ford. You have the feeling that you are actually cruising the waters around Bellingham, WA. Character descriptions are excellent. I finished the tale in just over two days because I could not put it down. I eagerly look forward to future books in this series.
