"Terrific mystery. From Jonestown to a serial murderer to a terrorist plot, I was kept engaged. The recently widowed Dr. Patrick Bowers is trying to establish a connection with his stepdaughter. But murder keeps getting in the way of their quality time. Really well written and kept me glued to the book."

    " The Pawn was an exciting, thriller! I liked the dialogue, the creepy serial killer story and the main character's personal storyline. There were a few unanswered questions and loose ends that need tying up. I will definitely be picking up the others in the series. "

    " I've read 3/4 of this book. I doubt I will finish it. One star for writing reasonably coherently. The plot too preposterous to hold interest. The heroes and villains too superhuman/evil. Too much suspension of disbelieve required here for me. Quit, not going back. "

    " This is a great detective thriller. Free for kindle at amazon.com. Probably will buy the series. Its listed as "Christian," but don't let that scare you off. The religion is not overt- and as a thriller, it can hold its own with just about any Times Best List. "

    " A page-turning thriller where they are trying to catch a serial killer. This is the first book in the series. I doubt I will read the second book. Not my cup of tea. "

    " A friend gave me this book, and I put it on my shelf and forgot about it for a year. On man, I missed out! I should have read it then and there. It's a great story, with some great writing. I'll be picking up the rest of the series here soon. "

    " The Prologue alone was enough to freak me out. Kind-of gut wrenching since I'm not used to reading murder mystery books. Some of the lines were a little cheesy, but overall a good read. "
