Customer Reviews

Terrific read!!!

Michael Genelin is a master storyteller. Intricate plot. His characters are finely etched. And he writes with an intimate knowledge of the secretive worlds his characters inhabit. Be sure to set aside some time when you won't be disturbed because you won't want to put this novel down.

Fast-paced thriller

This is a page-turner which skillfully interweaves a wrenching love story from the past with a present-day mystery. I didn't know much about life in SSRs like Slovakia, either before the communist regime or afterward... but 'Siren of the Waters' gave me a sharp taste of that place and time. The protagonist is a female police commander who's seen too much but never lost her dedication nor her ironic wit. Fans of television's Jane Tennyson/Prime Suspect stories will enjoy Jana Matinova. The book is set up as the first in a series... I'll be waiting for the next to appear.
