Customer Reviews

Wow!!!

DuBois' Lewis Cole series just keeps getting better and better! You can't put this one down!

Nice Surprise!!

I stumbled on this book quite by accident. I actually picked it out because of the New Hampshire location of the story, having vacationed there a couple of times and loving the area. The twists and turns this tale takes, make for a most enjoyable read and the characters quickly become "old friends." I had never read any of Mr. DuBois' books before, but I shall seek them out in the future!! I think this book would make an EXCELLENT movie!

My new favorite author

Well, I'll admit that I discovered Brendan Dubois by buying his previous two books on the $1.66 rack at Target. I purchased them because of the price, the covers, and a predicted blizzard weekend. I couldn't believe what a bargain I got. They were absolutely the most fabulous books I've read in a while. Shattered Shell was wonderful. If you need a summary, you can rely on the previous posts. If you are looking for a new author to read, then I recommend all of Dubois' books. Please keep up the work.

Keep 'em coming!!!

OK, I'm an addict. Brendan DuBois has again captured my attention and kept me guessing. The latest in the Lewis Cole adventures is full of action and rich with descriptions that made my bones ache from the cold of a New England winter just by reading. I love his characters, particularly because they aren't typical perfect heros/heroines ... how could you empathize with perfection? I feel like I'm getting to know each of them more with every book, and I've read them all. Dead Sand introduced us, Black Tide gave me more insight particularly to Lewis and Felix, and Shattered Shell made Diane very real. Real characters that I would love to meet (all right, I'm developing a thing for Felix, but then I've always liked a "bad boy"), and plots that make me pay attention to every detail while I try to solve the puzzle. I seldom do, but isn't that what mysteries should be all about. All I can say is keep 'em coming!!!
