The Tiverton Diary

By Wallace Collins

It was supposed to be a relaxing sabbatical, but the first corpse made the professor worry. In 1992, college professor Dr. Harrison Hawke goes to England on a research project. Neither he nor the world knew that hidden in England was the only existing copy of a secret diary written by a U. S. Army officer in WW II-and that hired thugs would terrorize to get that diary. Believing Harrison was after the diary, the gang tortured him, attempting to expel him from the country. After the arrest of the gang's kingpen, and the arrival of Maria, life was nice. Until a friend's funeral. Vengeful, the professor vowed to single-handedly combat the gang for the diary, discover its mystique...and somehow stay alive.

I Am Sure Looking For The Next One

Thoroughly enjoyed reading "The Tiverton Diary" by Wallace Collins. The book has action, romance, some sex, suspense, some philosophy, plenty of page-turning surprises and it is very well written with a nice historical touch. Here's hoping for additional novels.

A Darn Good Summer Reading Adventure

This first novel by Wallace Collins is a delighful read. The plot is intriguing, with several novel twists at unexpected moments; the characters are fun, with a main protagonist who brings to mind a younger Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan, and several of the most repulsive villains ever to darken the doors of Merrie Olde England. The settings move from America to England (urban and rural) and back to America with breakneck pace, leaving the reader happily scrambling to keep up with the action. The premise is unusual; the reader's interest builds as the story progresses. Do yourself a favor, buy this one, and settle in with a pitcher of iced tea for a jolly good read. Mr. Collins, please keep writing! We are waiting for your further efforts!

Great Mystery,Rich History

This novel has it all:mystery,danger,romance,intrigue.Very well written and researched.Fans of The Davinci Code and other books by Dan Brown would be fans of this book as well.

Kudos for Wallace Collins and The Tiveton Diary!

I was part of the team who saw The Tiverton Diary in the manuscript stage and knew at that time that it would be an excellent read. The plot and the writing are excellent, and being a WWII buff myself, found that the places depicted in the story are indeed very well researched. The reader can almost see the hotels, the highways, the inns used to make this story a great one. On a scale from 1 to 10 I consider The Tiverton Diary a 15 - OK, I never said I was good at Math, but am good at seeing a book that will keep the reader enthralled from page one to the end. Well done, Mr. C! Now I'm waiting for 'part deux' or for another good story from you. Christina Brett, author of "Old Sins Cast Long Shadows" and "A Nice and Quiet Place"
