5.0 out of 5 stars A true page turner, October 27, 1999

This review is from: Undercurrents: A Haunted Detective. A Shadowy Killer. And A City Drowning In A Tide Of Fear. (Boldt/Matthews) (Mass Market Paperback)

From the second I read the first word I could not put the book down. This book's plot is well planned and written. What is nice is that the author does not repeat himself in order to keep the plot flowing. This is my first Ridley Pearson novel & I am planning to read all of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ridley Pearson at his best, February 26, 1999

This review is from: Undercurrents: A Haunted Detective. A Shadowy Killer. And A City Drowning In A Tide Of Fear. (Boldt/Matthews) (Mass Market Paperback)

This was my first Ridley Pearson book. I had read an article in the Boston Globe regarding new mystery writers and decided to try them all. Pearson is the one that I have stuck with.

When I first read Undercurrents, I literally could not put it down. In fact I missed an Eric Clapton concert because I lost track of the time.

This is the first Lou and Daphne novel and, arguably, the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars One word, "Awesome" !!, October 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Undercurrents: A Haunted Detective. A Shadowy Killer. And A City Drowning In A Tide Of Fear. (Boldt/Matthews) (Mass Market Paperback)

Never have I read a book so intense and so addictive! I lost almost half a nights sleep trying to find out what happens next.When I finished reading it, I so wanted more. That's why I went out and bought his other "Lou Boldt" books. I recommend this fast paced thriller to anyone who is a fan of this genre - even if you're not....
