Very nice descriptions good dialogue a thinking man's book but one that can be read entirely for pleasure. Good work.</p><p> Michael Arkin/Judicial Indiscretion</p><p>Paranormal fantasy mystery thriller rolled into one. The Lure is a well-crafted story that builds suspense through flowing narrative life-like characters and believable dialogue. If you're a fan of any of the above mentioned genres or if you're just looking for a page turner to get lost in The Lure will not disappoint.</p><p> Cris Pasqueralle/Destiny Revealed</p><p> A gritty book flavored with primitive urges and mysticism. As I followed Carol's foray into the realm of shamanism I realized that it took a special touch to pull off a complicated plot the way you did. Your prose was concise powerfully descriptive the dialogue lively and your photographic mastery of the fixtures and streets in Vancouver's hub in clear evidence.</p><p> Kenneth Edward Lim/The North Korean</p><p>Carol the head detective has to solve several murder cases: with many twists and turns. There's Shamans Animal Spirits and The Lure thrown in for good measure. No wonder Carol wanted to resign! Yes this novel is a roller-coaster ride with the author cleverly hinting along the way ending with a roller coaster ride! Read this book. It is different. It's as if Elmore Leonard has risen as a shaman to guide others to write about Indian lore.</p><p> Nancy Bridgeman</p>
