Enjoying the adventure of Remi and Fargo, looking for the grey ghost!

The main characters remind me of the television series, Hart to Hart...an entertaining read, with enough suspense to keep you going!

I learned a valuable lesson in college and that was to continuing reading even though I didn’t like the material at first, and I am glad I did with this book! I am enjoying the characters now and especially the relationship between the sisters!

I posted on FB what happened when I started reading this book, so I have been a bit distracted, but these are some of the drippiest characters I have ever read about! What is the attraction, perhaps because her other book was good people just latched onto the next book and it became a best seller???

The writing could be tightened and has a little too much exposition to start with, but the author manages to impress with knowledge of art and does a pretty good job with character development to entice the reader forward.

This book covers my favorite time in history, the renaissance period in Florence, Italy leading up to the bonfire of the vanities! But going off the prologue, I wonder if a better title might be, The nun with the serpent tattoo! Well researched with stunning character development! Enjoyable read!

This might be The Great American Novel, original voice, storyline and colloquialisms galore! A complicated read, but fast pace magic realism with Native American culture at its heart.

This book is a bit difficult to follow. Fast break neck sped through a bi-polar, schizophrenic web of people and delusions so far...

“A man sat on the asphalt with his hands in the air while his car backed onto Central Avenue.” ??? Having trouble with this one from the start...

“‘Native American.” Sarah knew that was the wrong thing to say, especially for an honors anthropology student at the University of New Mexico, but it was too late to take it back, so she extended her hand and hoped Indians didn’t have some kind of complicated secret handshake she didn’t know about. “The correct term is, Native American. Indians come from India...

Action packed thrill ride...

I am enjoying this read. Imagine setting off by yourself in an RV to take up a new career of photography at the age of 58 only to discover a dead woman deep in National Park in Montana! Jen is hiding in a secluded cabin while federal agents sort it out. Suspense and tension build as the reader wonders: will Jen survive her journey? Will they catch the serial killer before he strikes again?

An awesome read!

Gary Dolman writes with such precision, that I could read his books several times and still find something new. #greatread

Good character and plot development through the action of the story.

What a difference between the book I just finished in the Paranormal 13, to this one. Although there are a few typos already, at least this book jumps right into the action and has an interesting plot line!

A good read!

Enjoying the read and Petra's notes...

This book needs a strong edit! I could have summarized the first few pages into a paragraph, by using language and dialogue to move the story along, rather than the boring use of never ending description. Show don't tell! Show don't tell!

At the 50% mark you are given reason for the title of the book.
