Review

What Others Know caught me from the very beginning. The reader will see realistic good characters that have you wanting them to succeed. This book contains short, tight chapters with just the right pace. There is some betrayal, some humor, and just plain good reading. Rita Ratacheck --Reviewing the Evidence

L. C. Hayden writes characters with emotion. You definitely want to find out What Others Know. This book kept me up at nights until I finished it. It s a great read. I am anxious to read the others in the series. --Cindy Daniel, Mystery Morgue

What Others Know is an engaging tale. The story line grips the audience from the start as readers will feel Dan's frustrations. The secondary characters are solid. The audience will appreciate Ms. Hayden s exciting thriller. --Harriet Klausner The Best Reviews

This review is from: What Others Know (Paperback)

I just had the privilege of reading L.C. Hayden's new book, "What Others Know". This is in the third Detective Harry Bronson book in the series. The story takes place in the glitter and glitz of Vegas with Dan Springer, a reporter. Seven years before, he was working on a series about the drug dealings, and he was warn to stop or he would be sorry. He was. His wife was murdered and his 1 month old infant daughter was kidnapped. Now he has a chance to find out if his daughter is still alive and if so, where she might be. This is an all-consuming way of life for him since his daughter's disappearance, but with the help of the woman he loves and Detective Bronson, he might just pull it off this time! This is a very suspenseful hard to put down novel that keeps you reading to the end. I loved Dan & Debbie, and the sensitivity they have for each other concerning Dan's daughter's disappearance. Harry Bronson is an engaging and very good Detective. He's smart and clever and sees what others miss. All around a great read and I recommend everyone go out and get this book! It is out in paperback now!

This review is from: What Others Know (Paperback)

What Others Know captured my interest easily and held it throughout the story. The characters are likable and engaging, and the danger they face feels entirely believable. The chapters are all very short and typically end leaving the reader with a sense of anticipation.

This novel has a strong, well-executed plot complemented by L. C. Hayden's fine storytelling skills. It's a breezy and satisfying read.

This review is from: What Others Know (Paperback)

What you should know about L.C. Hayden's, WHAT OTHERS KNOW, is that this is a book to read in one sitting, turning each page with anticipation.
Dan Springer lost his wife and his daughter--the former to murder and the latter to abduction--six years before the first page. For six years, Dan has been looking for his daughter, Diana.
In this riveting book, Dan continues to seek out his daughter as a new clue comes to light. The book is all about Dan and his renewed hope that he will find Diana.
The setting is Las Vegas. The detective is Harry Bronson. This is Harry's third adventure in this series.
The kidnapping of a baby is the nightmare of every parent but in L.C. Hayden's extremely capable hands, the characters are engaging and the story fascinating, leading to this reviewer giving WHAT OTHERS KNOW five stars. It would be six stars but I couldn't find a way to add another star!
