Wow! I never write reviews, but this book deserves 5 stars!
This book had my interest from the first chapter, and each chapter had me more consumed with the story. It was hard to put the book down. This is a well written story that will not disappoint the reader. Can't wait to read more books from this author!

Great
I thought that this book was wonderful. Could not put it down wondering what was the next twist. It had everything that a good mystery should have. I especially liked the way that the protagonist treated his suspects. I looked for other works by this author but could not find any.

riveting
Loved the authenticity of fly fishing on the river while integrating it into the crime novel. It didn’t hurt that I’m from PA and have a fly fishing friend living in the area. Well worth the read.
