Customer Reviews

This is too good to be missed!

Without having any expectations, I bought this book and was pleasantly surprised that I finished it in two sittings. The most engaging part of the book was how the reader shadowed Gareth in his adventure. It was like being a passenger in the same car: experiencing what he did on a moment-to-moment basis. The reader was transported to different corners of the city at a good pace, and then sadly, it was over. Here's hoping that there will be a sequel!

A Very Satisfying Read

Author Britto need not fear a malpractice suit for his writing skills. This is a well written mystery which enlightens the reader on a number of fronts, including the pursuit and collecting of art pottery. Britto's writing skill is such that he imbeds the information in the reader's mind, creating a desire to learn more about art pottery independently. Maybe author Britto is really a transplant surgeon, not a plastic surgeon! Let's hear more from this author, and soon

Edgar quality stuff

A really excellent first novel. You can taste the food, smell the smells and see the people because the descriptions are so good. The feelings are a little hidden, but this is, after all, a mystery. The editing could have been a little tighter to smooth out some of the slightly stilted language in parts. When is the last time you got up in the middle of the night to read more because of that blue car following the protagonists little girl? This writer is a physician and I would like to know if the book is understandable for non-physicians
