The best Rachel Alexander novel yet!,
By
This review is from: Without a Word: A Rachel Alexander Mystery (Rachel Alexander & Dash Mysteries) (Hardcover)
I highly, highly recommend this book. I have read all the other Rachel Alexander and Dashiell books and this is the best by far!!! It is very well written and I fell in love with Madison, the little lost girl in the book. She touched my soul, as she did Rachel Alexander's. If you have not read all the other books, that is okay...this book can stand by itself.
If you love mysteries with good character development, and a plot that engrosses you to the point that you do not want to put down the book until you finish, then this is the book for you.

Good general mystery, but...,
By PenneyL (Fitchburg, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Without a Word: A Rachel Alexander Mystery (Rachel Alexander & Dash Mysteries) (Hardcover)
...if you are reading the series for the "dog" aspect, which I am since the author is one of the few writing mysteries which include dogs who actually KNOWS dogs, you should be aware that Dashiell is pretty much just an "accessory after the fact" in this one. I'd probably give it another star otherwise because as a mystery it's pretty good, but I read a lot of mysteries and from this series I look for a working partnership between Rachel and Dash in addition to the "mystery".

A Mystery with Literary Merit,
By
This review is from: Without a Word: A Rachel Alexander Mystery (Rachel Alexander & Dash Mysteries) (Hardcover)
"Without a Word" is more than just a page-turner (although turn the pages you will). Benjamin was created indelible characters, places that are real and vivid, a mood that's equal parts brooding, disturbing and exciting. If you're often let down by the abrupt, unbelievable conclusions of most mysteries, read this book. The ending lingers long after you've finished.

First Sentence:
Leon Spector had dead written all over him, not the kind where they put you in a box, say a few words and toss the earth back over you, not the ashes-to-ashes kind of dead, but the kind that lets the world know that whatever the battle was, you lost, the kind that says that sometime, a long time ago, you were beaten into the ground by circumstances beyond your control.
