"This is a true story of love and all of the hardships that can get in the way. An angry husband with power that is hungry for vengeance, and an ex lover who wants to kindle up and restart an old college (and high school) love affair. Can true love conquer all? Great love story!!"

— Dennis (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “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
