Rating:  Summary: Simply Irresistible Review: A comic mystery that weaves together upscale suburban housewives,Columbian drug lords, an Episcopalian Minister, high school kids, local reporters, and others? I would have said it can't be done, but Fred Cullen has done it. Somebody in the marketing department at Durban Publishing needs to get behind this book and promote it. The book is funny, articulate,and intriguing. I have never read anything quite like it. Fred Cullen leads the reader on a frantic Keystone Cops chase through a sedate neighborhood in Middle America. The characters are wonderfully depicted, and the plot takes the reader into a new genre, where the internet, Corporate America, and classic human foibles plunge quiet little Bexley, Ohio into chaos. We all wind up reading mediocre books by well-known authors. Here's a chance to read a superior book by a first-time author. I came across the book by accident and certainly haven't regretted purchasing it. You won't either.
Rating:  Summary: Must Read for Mystery Lovers Review: For readers who like mysteries this is a book you won't want to miss. The story is cleverly crafted, the cast of characters bizarre, the plot fast moving. The one thing you must do is pay attention. So many pieces of this complex puzzle fly around simultaneously that the casual reader can easily become confused.
Rating:  Summary: Secret Identities Review: When a fire leaves a town rather unsettled, a few friends start talking about the car explosion. If you are used to chatting online, this book will even be more interesting to you although you have to keep track of a lot of characters all hiding behind their screen names. Marty Shepherd is the principal character in this story and unwittingly becomes involved in the adventures of a variety of characters, moving in and out of their lives and exposing their secrets. As PrettyLie says: "careful 297 - we all have secrets and I know some of yours." Let's just say that during this novel, the police force is kept very busy. There are a lot of newspaper articles, letters, video tapes, internet messaging and chatting going on. I can see this type of book becoming quite common in this age of internet life. Will appeal to those who enjoy lurking online. For those who enjoy multiple plots, puzzles, internet chat rooms and mystery. ~TheRebeccaReview.com
