Leo shares the idea with Geoffrey.

Meanwhile, Rory DuPont struggles to deal with the reality of a recent break up with the woman he loves.

The lives of these people intertwine in a tale of manipulation, introspection, and violence.

Engaging, original story. This author shows a lot of potential in his first publication. I️ enjoyed it.

Clever storytelling. Very easy read. Seems like a surreal story couched in a believable/practical context. I’d like to see a follow-on book - I’d like to see where several of the interesting characters go.

Forget your current reality and let yourself live vicariously through these relatable, yet mysterious, characters. You won't regret it.

Personal note: I enjoy a compact book and this one is the perfect size.

ARIAL is a novel to think about. Convivial characters in a familiar setting, the story is at times gripping, atmospheric, and strangely, nostalgic. The final 100 pages flew by in a single sitting. MCM writes with a voice all his own and tells this story with aplomb. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Interesting story, could possibly make a good movie. It needs an editor though.

Arial takes you on a journey, while you're not sure where you're going, the author makes it interesting along the way. The attention to detail and storyline crossover is both refreshing and exciting. As I was finishing the book I had the desire to start from the beginning again. Intriguing and fun read, highly recommend.
