Review Quotes

"Beneath the Estate is an entertaining and cleverly plotted mystery. The reader is immediately engrossed in a story about two similar occurrences with similar characters taking place about 100 years apart. As the novel advances, the suspense builds evermore so, because the present is trying to replicate the past. A mysterious machine, attributed to Leonardo DaVinci, has been discovered in a hidden room, which has been closed off for a century. But what exactly is this machine, who is it for, what will it do? Brown skillfully blends the lifetimes and the characters as they seemingly intersect and eventually coincide to give the reader a beautiful sense of closure. This mystery is heartfelt and builds to a perfect ending." -Ray Anderson, author of Lift and the AWOL thriller series

"With Beneath the Estate, Nick Allen Brown has given us a fascinating story told through dual timelines: 1906-07 and the present. In one, the mysterious machine is being constructed, and in the other, discovered and studied. In both the past and the present, this is a tale about love and redemption, leading to the rebirth of old magic in our new world. It will take you back to the Biltmore Estate again and again." --Terry Roberts, author of The Sky Club and The Devil Hath a Pleasing Shape

"An engaging, and exciting read. Really wonderful!" --Susan Steen, The Portland Sun
