Superior Writing

What a great story teller Letha Albright is. I have read and marveled over each of her books. I was hooked from the first book by her ability to pace and tell a compelling story. This book is a departure from the Viv Powers series which frees her to tell her story. In a mystery series you presume the main character will survive. In this story you have no idea where the tale will end. But here the end came realistically. Books like this are why we read.

Best Fiction Since 'Huckleberry Finn'

This is the best fiction I've read since "Huckleberry Finn." Honest to God. Great books quietly teach you truths you'd never thought much about - but are the better for having learned. This book does that in important areas of your mind and life that you may find were ill fed before. Within a few phrases, or a page, or constantly added to throughout the book, each character becomes someone you would recognize walking down the street. The places this story visits will become almost-memories of your own. This is not only a broadly fascinating story; it's also a writer's book. I suspect this will become a writer's reference - a collection of flawlessly written phrases that perfectly condense relevant issues into single sentences. My only regret is that I can't read this for the first time - again. Read the first chapter and you'll read the entire story; it's never slow and it never lets go. Then recommend it to friends; everyone appreciates a solid recommendation of a good book.
