“An uncommonly strong plot, a thriller that transcends the genre.”
— Washington Post Book World“Imaginatively plotted…Spencerville is very much cut from the DeMille mold.”
— Atlanta Journal & Constitution“Incorporates many of the qualities for which DeMille is famous: fast pace, believable characters, current events background, and dialogue so authentic it could have come from a fly on the wall.”
— Toledo Blade" Nelson is like a warm welcome chair close to the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate. "
— Laserman, 2/15/2020" I love Nelson DeMille's books. They are informative, intense and so interesting. He is my favourite of all audiobooks. "
— Jackie, 2/9/2020" I always enjoy DeMille. It's not classic literature, but he has excellent characters, good dialogue and he can tell a captivating story. "
— Mike, 2/11/2014" Keeps you turning the pages to see if it'll all turn out ok. DeMille's books don't always! Graphic violence against women by a pig of man while everyone looks the other way. Not my favorite of his books. "
— Jody, 2/7/2014" Way too predictable. Ending came too soon in this DeMille book. "
— Denise, 2/1/2014" I read this in 1999. It's 2008 now, and I still remember how my heart pounded with terror wondering what was going to happen.... "
— Candy, 1/28/2014" Not one of my favorite DeMille books, but a good read anyway. "
— Snohotom, 1/26/2014" It is not the best written story, but I really enjoyed reading this. It all happens in Ohio where I grew up, so it was fun to read about Ohio State, Bowling Green State University and the area along 75. "
— Klusch, 1/17/2014" audio -- the author likes to keep the reader on the edge of the seat. this is a good study of DV "
