Customer Reviews

Great job, Steve

My high school buddy (the author) has turned out another fine Harry Denton novel - this time involving an arsonist and a fire right across the street. Some reviewers have complained about a weak plot. They fail to see that the author is not attempting one of those 800 page psychological mysteries that stretch from New York to Los Angeles. His aim is to entertain and enlighten and he does both. You always learn something with each book and in this case it is the details of arson. This time the trouble arises from his ex wife when her lover and soon-to-be husband is murdered and burned. Our intrepid investigator leaves no stone unturned in his search for the man behind the crimes and the conclusion is chilling despite the humorous aspects. Great job!

What do you mean.....

What do you mean, falls into the detectives hands? He had to work to get the evidence, which was illegal to obtain, and sometimes, things in life just hit us, coming from nowhere. I personally loved this second edition into the Harry Denton series. As a writer myself, I am never any good at filler, but Steven makes it look like icing on the cake. The dialogue and story line were as crisp and tight as ever, and the solution was not only probable, but scary as hell. I read the last fifty pages in twenty minutes! Steven, pat yourself on the back for another outstanding book! I can't wait for "Way Past Dead!"

AWESOME READ.

This second entry in the Harry Denton series is outstanding. An absolute top notch mystery. This book will be very hard for Womack to top. Read this book!!!
