"…a great mystery and a wonderful story that keeps you guessing and hoping."
"…the lead characters are likeable and express the same joy, fear and self-doubt that any human being lives with. They are not polished cookie cutter, perfect people but I found their lives believable and the events possible. They are real like you and me…in our hopes, flaws, doubts and daily living. The story ended much too soon and now comes the wait for his next book!"
