Cellar Full of Cole - a review by Rosemary Kenny
Veteran and senior journalist at The Sentinel, Cole Sage is the main protagonist again in this tense psychological murder-mystery with four themes, by the excellent Micheal Maxwell.
Firstly, we are introduced to a murderous pedophile.
Cole writes articles about crime, helped by information from his police friend Tom Harris.
How will Cole get drawn into this latest ongoing crime - and what clue does he recall later?
Then there is Cole's preoccupation with a move to San Francisco's The Chronicle, from Chicago and living near his beloved daughter Erin,her husband Ben and their daughter Jenny. His present editor Mike Brennan's impending demise from cancer, complicates this.
How can Cole tell Brennan he's leaving - and how does Brennan reassure him?
Third is Cole's involvement with Sophie and Jeff Kosciuszko, friends of Erin and Ben's, who are having serious problems over the sale of a farm they've jointly inherited with Jeff's brother Terry.
What happens between Cole's first and second visits to the farm? What does Cole do as a result?
When the killer realises Cole's getting too close to the truth, what does he do to make trouble for Cole? How does Cole exonerate himself with the police? What does Cole remember that helps him catch the killer and how does he make the link between him and Terry Kosciuszko?
How does Terry put Cole in danger - and how does Cole finally escape?
With one threat after another and lack of evidence stalling progress, while increasing terror, Micheal Maxwell has a real winning formula of a book, that's sure to please lovers of murder-mysteries with a psychological element, that thrills from the first page to the last!

I started this series with #2 but jumped right into the life of Cole Sage without a problem. (I've already downloaded Diamonds and Cole #1 in the series to get more background about him.) As far as I'm concerned, Cole Sage, an outspoken, no holds barred kind a guy, is a breath of fresh air in the politically correct, snowflake-inhabited world we now live in. I particularly loved his discussion about Christmas early on in the book. Thank you, Mr. Maxwell. I also love the fact that Cole listens to Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen, a far cry from all the jazz enthusiasts who seem to be the norm nowadays in detective fiction. I also like the fact that the author mentions Groucho Marx and Shari Lewis and didn't feel compelled to spoon feed an explanation to his readers who these people were in 20th Century America. I look forward to reading more about Cole Sage and hope he doesn't change his perspective about life after moving to San Francisco!

I haven’t read a mystery novel in quite a while and decided to give this one a try. I enjoyed the character of journalist Cole Sage but will say that I wasn’t quite prepared for the difficult and disturbing subject matter of child molestation and murder that appears in this story. I felt that once Cole was introduced into the story line of the serial killer, that particular mystery was solved too easily and quickly. It felt like a rather abrupt conclusion. The book continues on with stories shared by others close to Cole and he is personally drawn into the drama of one of them, resulting in a rather harrowing conclusion for him.
I listened to the audiobook and was impressed with the narrator, Vaughn McLean. He is a new narrator to me and I thought he did a good job voicing the characters and leading the narrative. I look forward to hearing more from him in the future.

This is the second in the Cole Sage series and every bit as enjoyable as the first. I really like this author's style and twists. I am not one to précis what the story is about but suffice to say that it kept me interested and turning pages. It covers the next period in the hero's life and I look forward to reading the next as soon as possible.

I've now read the first two books in this series and found this one to be as well-written and hard to put down as the first. Cole is a person that would be difficult not to like. I'm ready to read the third in the Cole series. 5 stars for both books.

Horrible subject is well-handled by author's skill. Like this series.
Recommend but not for those with weaker stomachs.

A short story
That is full of insight on how abuse people cope with trauma they received through no fault of their own.

Cellar Full of Cole by Michael Maxwell
This story was a bit scary for me, not my typical genre but really like all the things going on, the things that are important to Cole.
His boss is leaving due to cancer returning but he still goes into the office. Cole visits his daughter and family in CA and he is offered a job there if he wants it, at The Sentinel.
Things go smoothly til they don't. His friend has family troubles and he talks to the family and even the brother who wants them to turn over their half of the land their mother had left them both.
Story also follows Philip who's a child molester- this was the hardest part for me to read about. Cole wants to shed light on the subject and even does research by attending a meeting of survivors.
He's on the lead of the culprit when a woman who's HR mentions about the man's lovely hands and that is a clue he is able to comprehend as the little girl had said the same thing...
Just when you think the story is over as he's apprehended Cole addresses his friends brother again... things don't quite go well...
Love how he keeps his mind about things by recalling alphabetically songs and the lyrics, so many of which I also know from my favorite singers. Rat scene was not as bad as the molester.
He gets amped up when he hears the hot water and investigates it and the pipes and a plan forms...
Others are worried about him and his rental car and they do all they can to find him....
Scary moments for me as he recalls a memory from the war and others are killed...
It’s a toss up as to who will win this battle and come out of it.
Excerpt of the next book is included at the end.
Love mysteries, travel, caring of family and very close friends, learning new words and things: survivor meeting, tech he knows of hot water heater and gas combining and how close he gets to freedom..
This book really took me away from my own problems, another treasure of people he mentions in song or lyrics or name only.

Warning up front for those thinking about reading this book: It’s about child murder, child abuse, and child pornography. If any of those bother you, read something else.
I almost stopped reading this book at Chapter 3. Over 11 pages, Maxwell describes in detail a man luring a child to him then killing her. And for a bonus near the end of the chapter, he kills a puppy.
But that’s just the start of the sickness in this novel. Maxwell has one character describe his abuse at the hands of an uncle. Another character proudly admits he abuses and helps other abuse children.
Don’t get me wrong. There are other things happening in this story. Cole, the MC, has a new job offer halfway across the country. If he takes it, he’ll be close to the daughter he never knew he’d fathered and his grandchild. But his best friend in the newspaper industry is dying of cancer and a woman he rescued from homelessness as a child is endangered by her off-kilter brother-in-law.
The more I read of this story, the harder it gets to read further. I’m at the end of Chapter 10 as I write this and, if I read a second description of a child murder, I won’t be going much beyond that.
I just started reading Chapter 11, and guess what. Yep, the same character lures a child to him and kills her.
The irony here is that several commenters said the following things about this author and his books: ‘clean,’ ‘departing from the usual, heavily sexual, profanity-laced norm.’ ‘appreciate the author's commitment to clean reading.’ and ‘proves that a great book does not need graphic sex or foul language.’
Instead, Maxwell writes about child abuse – one of the most disgusting things that can ever happen.
Quite frankly a 1-star rating (did not like it) isn’t negative enough. A 0-star or -1-star (disgusting and offensive) would be more accurate.
Good-bye, Mr. Maxwell. I won’t be buying any more of your books.

Wow! It looks like everything is working out for Cole. He has a family. He’s going to visit them on Christmas. All if going well with him. He gets a call from Sophie, a long time friend who he helped out years ago. She is being threatened by her husband’s brother and wants Cole to talk to him and get him to back off. So, of course, Cole being the good guy does just that. Get in a fight with the guy, Terry, and leaves him with a warning to stay away from Sophie and her family. All goes well for a bit but then Sophie calls again and says Terry was back and had assaulted her. She’s called the police because he violated a restraining order but because of police mistakes, he is released. Cole once again pays a visit to Terry but this time a much worse fight occurs and Cole winds up locked in Terry’s cellar. He has totally disappeared for over two weeks. Everyone has stopped looking for him. This is another great story of good and evil with some old fashioned redemption thrown in. Cole is a terrific hero and the books by Micheal Maxwell are terrific. Glad there are 7 more to go.

This was my first book by this author and I generally do not read or listen to much in this genre. I thought I'd give it a go anyway. Honest reviews are best. The storyline deals with some very disturbing subjects which were very difficult to hear in the audiobook. It started off pretty interesting, subject matter aside. As we get closer to figuring out who the cops are searching for, it seemed like that plot point was resolved way too quickly. After getting the alternating povs of the bad guy and Cole, I expected this to carry through the book. That didn't happen. Then there was yet another plot point which actually relates more to the title of this book. It all just seemed odd.
I listened to the audiobook which features new narrator, Vaughn Maclean. With this being his first book, I though he did a very good job throughout the story and he was really able to convey the creep factor of the two bad guys. Definitely has some great potential.

This is my very first book from Micheal Maxwell. The crime, mystery & suspense genre is not my go to read or listen. I thought I will give it a try as I received an ACX code in return for an honest review. This book is not for the faint-hearted and I find it a very difficult to listen. New narrator Vaughn MacLean did a great job narrating this book. He is a very convincing creepy serial killer and pedophile that I had to pause the book several times when it gets to a very difficult scene especially involving the children. This book still gives me the creeps when I think of certain disturbing scenes.
Overall if you enjoy murder, suspense or mystery and you don’t find child abuse and murder so upsetting, then this is the book for you. I am looking forward to more book narration from Vaughn MacLean in the future. His performance sounds promising.

Enjoyed.
I had problems getting into the story at the beginning but as I read I got captivated by Cole's story. Cole is an interesting man whose life is changing for the better. Even though he lost the love of his life years ago he now has a daughter and granddaughter, a new job, a new life. As he says goodbye to his old and begins to look forward to his new life he falls into a life threatening situation. He is kidnapped and thrown into a cellar like basement and left in the dark to die. What he goes through while he is in the basement is captivating. How he escapes and his ability to face his new life leaves the reader a good feeling with a hint of sadness for what he had lost. I enjoyed Cole's adventure and look forward to his next.

Cole worked for the newspaper. He moved to another city for an new job since where he worked for a long time. The owner was dying. But before he left town he was trying to help out some friends. They were having trouble with the brother of her husband. After their mom had passed away they were arguing about who owned the farm all of it or half and half .He decided to make one last plea to the mean one before he left. Well it didn't turn out so good. He was put in the basement and locked in. Cole was researching for a story about these missing girls and pedophiles and thought he knew who this person was. He didn't know how many days he was down there in the darkness. He did a lot of thinking to figure away that he might escape from there.

Cole Sage is changing jobs, from the Chicago Sentinel to the San Francisco Chronicle. A huge upside to this, is that his daughter and her family are also moving to San Francisco. His plan is to write a story on pedophilia to be run by both papers. A pedophile in San Francisco is murdering little girls. It becomes personal when the brother-in-law of a friend of his also turns out to be a pedophile. Cole literally ends up in hot water when he confronts the dude and ends up locked in the cellar. He comes up with a rather ingenious plan to escape.

At First I Wasn't Sure
I wasn't sure that I'd like this book as well as I liked the first one. It is darker than the first but the writing and storyline made it obvious that, though darker, it is suspenseful and compelling. It was even moving in its connection to the realities of life, realities that most of us don't want to face or accept as real. But Author Maxwell did a great job of pulling me into the story so much that I was emotionally and personally a part of it all. Five blazing, bright stars!

Maxwell is a great writer! Glad I pushed through
They first part of the book was very difficult to read. Maxwell is a great writer and his ability to bring the reader into the moment made the first part of the book hard to read. I didn't want to be a part of what was happening. But pushing through, I found the Cole Sage I wanted to read about. The storylines for this series is plausible and free of extraneous profanity or sex but still really and gritty. Well done Maxwell!

A page turner
This is the 2nd of the Cole Sage series, I have enjoyed both of them. Maxwell's characters are believable and the messes they find themselves in are realistic and the solutions are plausible. Very refreshing.
In Cellar Full of Cole, he takes on the grime and frightening world of child pornography and and child abuse and murder. You will be shocked, frightened, angered, and relieved.

Worked for me.
Cole is at a crossroads in his life and knows it is time to move on. As he does so he gets caught up in 2 separate incidents involving a child killed and a child pornography supplier. It is not until the end that we get the connection after the cellar of Cole.
A good novel that brings the horrors in life up against the beauty of life and we all knows which wins. Cole reunited with his daughter and granddaughter.

Superb!
What a terrific mystery. I read book 1 awhile ago and wasn't sure what to expect. I am thrilled with this superb mystery. Also totally delighted that there are a number of additional Cole Sage mysteries not only to read, but waiting for me on my Kindle. These books are so exciting and clean, if you know what I mean. Thus the title of my review ...... SUPERB!

Great series of adventures!
Cole is written so well that he is a real person to me. His adventures are real ones, that could happen to anyone and are totally believable. This one keeps you on the edge of your seat because just when things are going great, bad stuff happens. How Cole gets out of it is the best part. Makes you start wondering if he will get out!

I think the book has a good plot and fully-rounded characters with humor thrown in. I really wanted to give it 5 stars, but the book needed a good or better editor because there were grammar and punctuation errors. Still I will read other Cole Sage books because I want to see what happens with his new life in California.

Cole's discovery of a daughter and granddaughter and a new job in San Francisco combined with a story about child abuse and the murder of little girls is slowly bringing Cole back to the journalist he once was. The desire to help an old friend leads to his being locked in a cellar and presumed dead for 19 days. Interesting book 2 of a new series.

Another Great Story!
Another great story, however some may not like the theme, as children are involved. It shows the sicker side of society, but also the heroes that try to protect us. On to Book 3. What a great. Author!

Is a cellar big enough to stop Cole Sage in his tracks?
I've enjoyed the adventures of Cole Sage. He brings new meaning to the title of "Investigative Reporting". His good heart gets him into scenarios you can't even imagine! I recommend Micheal Maxwell's work.

It is troubling to be reminded of the existence of the scum of the earth. However, this was an engrossing story and I didn't stop until I was done. Complex, convincing characters all around me as I stepped into Sage Cole's world for awhile.

Cellar of Cole
Suspenseful . . . is the word to be utilized for this novel. I fine myself at times chuckling over the storytelling. I would of like to see this novel made into a audible book. With the same narrator the author used in the first novel. He was excellent in his changing voice to match the different characters. Worthy read keep it up.

Rather simplistic
Sadly this book is full of ‘filler’ which does nothing to move the story on. Also be aware that 5% of the kindle book is an excerpt from the next one. 2 Stars because it was free!

I didn't care for this book. If it's not a mystery like I was hoping. The main mystery that was promised isn't mysterious and is "solved" within the 1st 3rd of the book. I also didn't care that much for our main character Cole. Maybe that was because I didn't read the first book.
