Review Quotes

"This one was very, very good believable, intriguing, plenty of twists and turns humor I even read the parts about Gresham's mother and her dentures to my husband. We laughed out loud. "

"Intriguing and interesting. As usual Ellsworth knows how to plot a story and draw the reader in from the very beginning of this new novel. Since I have read his other books, I was pretty sure I would like this one. "

" I highly suggest reading this book and the others that go with it. When I read the first book I order the 2nd and 3rd if they are available to keep on reading as I enjoy books about the same characters and see what they get into next. Read this you will love it."

"All Mr. Ellsworth's characters are well developed and as you read a series they become somewhat of an addiction. (I hope we haven't seen the last of Thaddeus Murfee or the Sisters) In each book you come to know the characters better as you delve into the next chapter of their lives. Michael Gresham is an excellent start to new heights with engaging characters, twisted thrills and legal angles. I know this new series will deliver as many hours of addictive pleasures as all John Ellsworth's previous novels."
