Summary: Spring Lake author has brought us another thriller
Review: Len Johnsen has brought us another thriller with his newest novel, Sunrise Diner.

Similar in suspense to Johnsen's previous novel, A Capital Crime, but contrasting in the timeline and setting, Sunrise Diner offers the reader a glimpse of reality mixed with a fictional storyline filled with unexplained mysticism.

Sunrise Diner is filled with suspense and likable characters who, because of past occurrences and current events, are intertwined in murder and intrigue. Johnsen's talent lies in his ability to create an ensemble of characters who appear to be as real as the 'guys' in the next booth and events that take the reader on a mysterious escapade up until the very end of the book.

What does Cell #17 have to do with the hangings? How do the Molly Maguires from the late 1800's come into play in this story? You will have to read Sunrise Diner to discover the answers.

Review: Lived in Mauch Chunk and then Jim Thorpe my whole life. Enjoyed the book very much. Living in this small town I can actually see it happening. Knowing all the places; especially the Sunrise Diner; where I went as a teenager, made me feel like I could not put it down till it was finished.
