Customer Reviews

Enjoyed my time with these folks.

While this was a fun read with interesting and entertaining characters, I wish some of the relationships were further developed as they involved some of my favorite characters. Maybe in the next book? The epilogue left me scratching my head, but the rest of the book was enjoyable. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a good character driven book.

Crossing the Centerline

This is a great who-dun-it, with perfect pacing and enough action to keep you turning the pages into the wee hours of the night. But it's the characters that really stand out and stay with you long after the story has been told. I felt like I was part of one of the best Friends episodes. Carl, Sharon, Mike, Maggie...I want buddies like that! Give us another one soon, Allan.

Characters you want to eat carry-out with

Ansorge's characters dance across the page. Their antics and theatrics make them as welcome (and uncomfortable) to be with as family members at a reunion. What to do? You gotta love 'em. When these guys grab a quick bite to eat, as they check in with each other to swap clues at 6:00, I open my fridge and share the moment. Leftover Chinese, yum! A fun book with twists and turns, it takes you for a great ride!

Crossing The Centerline

I was honored to meet Allan Ansorge at Killer Nashville and was pleased to discover a new writer to enjoy. Crossing The Centerline was a VERY good read and it was hard to put it down. I am NOT pleased that I have to wait for the next book to find out who Sharon and Meyers are! LOL Sigh...... the life of a reader, suffering until the next book comes out! Don't miss this guy! He is funny and good!Crossing the Centerline

From our armchair to yours...

After an accident killed his fiancée, put him in the hospital for months, permanently injured his right leg and ending his career in law enforcement, all Carl wants to do is become a charter boat captain. But someone wants him dead and he has no idea why. When his ex-partner from the sheriff's department is almost killed on Carl's boat by someone thinking he is Carl, Michael McCaffery decides someone at the department needs to be taking the threats seriously. Carl, Michael, Carl's Internet-savvy mother, and a group of assorted friends begin to try to find out why someone is so determined to kill Carl. It has to be something he knew or saw before his accident-or was the wreck an accident or the first attempt on Carl's life? Crossing the Centerline is the first book of a planned six book series by new author, Allan E. Ansorge. The characters are very likable as well as fun-and the plot is diabolical. The dialog and flow of the story is a little rough but if you can overlook that, it is a very good story. I'm hoping with the next book the author will find his rhythm and the next book will be smoother. There are plenty of good secondary characters, with secrets hinted at in this story, to fill up more books with interesting and intriguing mysteries. In this mystery, Carl and his friends must try to piece together what Carl may know that makes him a target for a murderer. But of course the bad guys are not sitting around waiting for them to figure it out, and the risk and attempts escalate. Also there is a little bit of romantic interest developing between some of the characters to add more complexity and human interest. I liked Crossing the Centerline and will be watching for the next book! Reviewed by Stephanie Boyd
