Summary: the birth of a new series is a success!
Review: This is ellen in Atlanta - When I learned that Klavan would be starting a series featuring a private investigating firm, I started to worry - I stopped worrying when at the 1st sitting of reading Dynamite Road, I was over 125 pages in! It is wonderful and is gritty, exciting, and the characters are of the old school of PI's and a great start to a wonderful series - long live the Weiss Investigative Firm!

Summary: Beautiful in its Simplicity
Review: This is the first novel I've read by Andrew and I have read 130 thrillers in the past year. 10 occupy my "hall of fame" shelf. Dynamite Road makes it 11. In the context of a tough guy mystery, Klavan spins out original gut punching turns of phrase in which I delight. My copy bleeds with yellow highlighter. Ignore, the name Shadowman and read the book for its brilliant simplicity.

Summary: New Exciting Directions
Review: Those of us who eagerly await Andrew Klavan's novels are rewarded again. DYNAMITE ROAD is the latest in a series of thrillers (DON'T SAY A WORD, MAN AND WIFE, THE ANIMAL HOUR and TRUE CRIME, among others) which have that eerie ring of truth, which make them so easy to enjoy and impossible to put down.Klavan introduces the Weiss Agency with Jim Bishop and Scott Weiss, detectives who live and work in a gritty, rugged world. There is very little sentimentality here and cruel, disturbing things happen and these unorthodox detectives will stop at nothing to achieve their goal, even venturing beyond their client's wishes, once they become involved in this marvelous adventure. The author clearly is fascinated by the intricacies of flying small planes and the mechanics of flying unifies the story, making this book a must read for anyone with a similar interest. Klavan has written another exciting book, with a twist. Returning to much earlier days, he has invented characters who promise to return, hopefully in the near future.
