“Never a dull moment as the story surges toward its exciting climax.”
" I love this book! easy read and will keep you wondering until the end "
" The more suspence the better. Even though by some standards some might say it isn't suspenceful enough. I read it in 2 days. "
" This was a page turner for me. I about went crazy yesterday when I had only 30 pages left but didn't have time to read them until bedtime. The end was fairly predictable but yet had a couple of twists. "
" Quick easy read! Suspense and secrets surround a man-made lake. Interesting characters. "
" Intriguing plot-line - nice use of descriptive imagery to paint a portrait of the south - all around an enjoyable mystery/drama piece "
" Good read for what it was..... "
" One of my favorite Woods' books and he is a favorite author of mine. Just thinking about this book again gives me the shivers. "
" Enjoyable. I have read several Stuart Wood books. They don't keep you on the edge of your seat, but they do keep you interested and awaiting conclusion. This was not scary, just a mild haunting that spured the protagonist into solving the puzzle. "
" I think this is by far the best Stuart Woods book I've read. "
" A little creepy but good! "
" Mr. Woods first stand alone was a mystery/ghost story. A good quick chilling read. "
" A pretty good murder mystery. The main charactor drinks to much and isn't all that likeable, but the story keeps the book moving along. "
" Excellent thriller. Really like Woods books that span multiple generations. Story was written so that ending was not clear until nearly the end. Some supernatural aspects but lightly done. Passed on to a friend who also enjoyed it. "
" I used to like Stuart Woods so picked this up at the Y. The book flowed at the beginning but by the time I got to the end, I just wanted it to end so I could get on to my next read. It was okay---I wouldn't highly recommend it. "
" This was the only book of Stuart Woods that I really didn't like. It wasn't his usual type of writing and had too much fantasy which I don't enjoy reading. I've read every one of his other books and loved them! "
" Awesome entertainment! Page turner with a good plot keeping the reader captured till the end..... "
" This book piqued my interest when I found out it was based on Lake Burton. Very captivating story. "
" This is the book that got me hooked on Stuart Woods books. "
" Stephen kong said this book scared the living hell out of him. All I can think I'd that either heirs or he had just a smidgen of living hell in him to scare out. It wasn't scary. It was an okay read and didn't drag much though. "
" This was a good book, but it got a bit slow and predictable towards the end. "
" Another great story by Stuart Woods. "
" I read this book in a day...could not put it down until I knew how the story would unfold. This book keeps you entertained with its many twists and turns and unexpected ending. "
" A departure from his normal story line. It wasn't as scary as the Stephen King blurb made it sound which was why I didn't read it at night. Fast paced, but intriguing. "
" I don't know what it is about this book, but every once in awhile I have to pick it up. And it's a strangly comforting read when I'm sick with the flu and drugged up with cough medicine. "
" Great suspense novel. Characters well developed. "
" Although by one of my favorite authors, this book was a slow go in getting into it. Once the storyline became clear, and the characters solidified, it became an interesting book and a good read. "
" This is shaping up to be a great novel. Having spent quite a bit of time in the North Georgia mountains, I can relate to the setting and the demeanor of the folks who live there. "
" Excellent ghost tale from Stuart Woods! Very a la Stephen King. I enjoyed the change of pace! "
" Ending was better than the beginning. Mystery with touch of ghost story. "
" First one of Stuart Woods' books I've read. I would read others, but not seek them out especially. A murder mystery about a valley community submerged by the rising waters from a dam and the investigation of a possibly dirty sheriff. "
