This is the fourth book in this good series. I like the Wisconsin settings. The author tackles serious subjects. The dialogue this time feels a bit more forced (a fair bit of telling and explication); there are also a few proofreading glitches, altho ...more |

A winning series set in the Midwest that examines trust, family history, and old secrets that must be revisited. Long is excellent with these well-rounded and well-described characters--worth a read for this alone. Recommended. |

Captures the intensity of Japanese exam prep and, like Pronko's other books, expertly navigates the sheer challenges of getting around Tokyo by train. The juku security guards were an eye-opener. This is the seventh in the series and continues two nic ...more |

Second in the A. L. Kittridge series. Fully drawn characters, intensely readable, although a mystery, this book leans to romance, which mainly means readers will care about every character. Highly recommended. Yes, I read in one day. |

“This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day”

Hi L.A. - thanks for the friend request. I see you are a writer of thrillers, that must be so much fun!

Hi William,
Sorry if there is confusion. The Kindle Unlimited price is 0.00--that's out of my hands because Amazon itself runs that program. The UK Kindle Countdown discount I mentioned starts (and is the largest) September 12, with an initial price of 0.99 pounds, gradually increasing by the 19th back to 5.35 pounds.
