Customer Reviews

Interesting Hero

I love this novel. I picked it up last summer to read during vacation, and I was hooked from the first page. There's tons of action in here. I love Brandon Drake's character though I wish we find out more about his background. I'm hoping the next few books in the series will do that.

EXCELLENT

AWESOME!!! I READ THIS BOOK, AND IT IS AMAZING!! IM GOING TO TELL ALL MY FRIENDS TO READ IT TOO!!!!!! =DDD

Definately Five Stars

I organize a small mystery book club in my town with four or five women who attend regularly. We recently read Intimate Falls and had a great time talking about the novel. One of the girls did a bit of research on the author and we found out that Lance Rucker does quite a bit of research for his books. We all agreed that's probably why the world of BD seems so completely real to us. On a side note, three of the women in my group completely fell for "Brandy" and couldn't stop raving about him. I'm pretty sure their husbands will not appreciate the fact that the book club is going to read the second in the BD Series in a few weeks! ;)

Excellent

I read Intimate Falls after I read No Secrets. While I still maintain that No Secrets is the best in the series, I had a really great time with Intimate Falls. I've never rock climbed in my life so I appreciate how Rucker never overwhelms you with minute details that detracts from the main story. I've read a couple of stories like those and could never get through with it. I agree with the other reviewers, Intimate Falls is definately a page turner.

Rock climbing mystery meets sensuous suspense

This mystery suspense novel is a page-turning delight from the very opening pages. With the invasion of the peace and quiet of computer-upgrade-day by a ditzy pregnant sister (Julia Hobbs) of an old college buddy, our hero (information agent Brandon Drake)is plunged into just the kind of contract he has carefully tried to avoid since getting out of the Private Eye business. The plot rips into high gear and just keeps going through all four hundred pages. The Yosemite rock-climbing disappearance of Julia's husband, we learn early in the novel, wasn't an accident after all. And Drake's involvement with the investigation sends the case spinning through a deep and wicked web of high-tech start-ups and sleazy East LA strip bars. The sensual themes heat up from the get-go, too, as the novel's cover art suggests. [The U.S. National Park Trust is said to have banned display of that cover in Yosemite bookstores and galleries, in spite of the fact that at least 50% of my male friends (and only about 10%of the women) didn't even recognize the female profile on the cover until it was pointed out to them by someone who DID recognize it ---- sort of a cover art Rohrschach test!]The plot weaving is fascinating and relentless, full of great dialogue throughout, and some very touching exchanges between the main characters as they work their way through what becomes a horrendous ordeal of survival in order to sort out what really happened up on the mountain, and why.Climbers will love it, mystery readers will love it, and with its very lovely romantic moments, just about everyone should find something special about this book. Great for a week's worth of bath tub soaking, or a weekend retreat. It is great entertainment: what I call "a fun read".For its genre, I have to give it my highest recommendation!
