[Mark Coovelis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best book I ever wrote.

[Ashley Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read this book twice. Once in high school and once about five years later. I recently drove through the area in which the story takes place and got me thinking about it again. The suspense is gripping. Even during the second read I was compelled to keep reading and not sit the book down. It is a complex story woven through the entire book like an intricate tapestry. Every bit is playing up to the climax. No fluff or "skim chapters" as my husband calls them. I would definitely read it again. My autographed copy has water damage so it is time to pick up a new copy.

I had the pleasure of knowing the author. He was my Honors English teacher fifteen years ago.

I enjoyed reading this book, which was full of suspense and mystery.

[Lynn Jacobs · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a complex story, that weaves throughout the book, until all is revealed at the end. I really enjoyed it.

[Matthew Kozak · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am a former English student of the author, so perhaps there is some bias on my part. I admired his philosophy and teaching style very much, and had an excellent time learning from him.

This novel looks at the homicide-thriller from the outside perspective, and grounds it in an evocative reality of loss. There is nobody lurking in the shadows but our narrator's own dark thoughts, and nothing dangerous creeps toward him except for what terrible old memories have gone unspoken until now. The character of "Gloria" is so enigmatic and misunderstood by the people around her that I see one of the most realistic portrayals of a lost soul yet in my scope of reading. If Mark Coovelis ever writes that second novel, I would implore anyone to read this in preparation.

2.5 star?
I wouldn't say this novel was horrible but it wasn't great either. I really wanted to like it, but it just reminded me of something I've read before and didn't have a level of specialness.
