5.0 out of 5 stars Shady side of business dealings make for great reading, February 5, 2006

This review is from: In the Shadow of Stone (Paperback)
A well-conceived and written novel of romance, suspense and shady business dealings, "In the Shadow of Stone" introduces Jack Fontaine, a self-made gay man who is somewhat estranged from his family, except for his sister's daughter Jenna, and is a successful advertising executive who is in a rewarding but ethically-challenged relationship with one of his firm's copywriters. Jack's orderly life starts to unravel when he is summoned to the deathbed of his sister, who entrusts him with a video tape that is to be held in safekeeping for her daughter's 18th birthday. Shortly thereafter, it becomes apparent that a comment made by his lover Marc at work has resulted in their relationship being known, which threatens his job and makes him second-guess the wisdom of continuing the relationship. What follows is a painful revelation that Marc was actually sent to the firm to "bring Jack down" and, although he now insists he fell in love for real, Jack does not know whom to trust.

Definitely original and engaging story by a talented author. Much recommended, 5 stars out of 5.

4.0 out of 5 stars a [...] mystery that is different, April 23, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In the Shadow of Stone (Paperback)
Like the other reviewers I also read through this book straight through and agree with their comments. I did feel uncomfortable towards the end with some of the improbable twist and turns. The one about one of the evil doers having grown up next door to Jack's sister and husband was a bit much. Otherwise the book is original and well written. I normally am uncomfortable with flashbacks, but they are seamless and brilliantly done in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put this one down, October 18, 2005
By 
Tooncer (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In the Shadow of Stone (Paperback)
I LOVED this book. Right from the beginning the story grabbed me. I actually stayed up all night so I could see what happened... and it was well worth it! The characters were so well developed that after awhile they were like real people to me. Between the characters, the storyline, the suspense and emotional drama, I couldn't put the book down. I can't wait for this author's next book.
