I read Saving Farley's Bog the other morning from 2 to 3:30 am. Couldn't put it down..., FABULOUS WORK

Molly Bell, community activist, environmentalist and discerning reader

I thoroughly enjoyed both books. One night I stayed up to 2:30 in the morning, which is way past my bedtime, just to see who did it. They are both real page turners! You are going to attract people with these who don't normally buy books, as well as appeal to young adults and adult learners. I can see why students scoop them up! Even though they are darned good detective stories with believable characters and situations, they manage to stay light.

They are just plain fun to read.

It is a murder mystery set in a small urban area and the action reaches to the Caribbean. The main character is a private investigator named Stitch. He is encouraged by a lawyer friend to find out why a town concillor changed his vote to allow a controversial development to go forward. In the midst of the invesigation, the councillor goes missing. Stitch is a likeable character with great investigative skills and a lot of charm.

It's a fun, exciting and fast paced book. It's a story about money, greed, future prospects and the ultimate payback -- murder. Anyone who enjoys the classic who-done-it detective stories will certainly enjoy this one.
