Customer Reviews

Captivating

The author strikes big with first novel. My book club in Washington was forunate to have Grotenrath lead our discussion of her first novel and I highly recommend it for all. She knows her stuff and leads you through a captivating twist of events and keeps you guessing throughout. She has a style that keeps you wanting to turn page after page. J

Riviting

The Interpol Imbroglio is a riviting mystery that keeps the readers attention from the very first chapter. Mary Jo Grotenrath's extensive experience with Interpol and her familiarity with the European community, gives the reader interesting insights into the history and cuisine of the area. There is also an underlying moral aspect to the story as some of the characters struggle to overcome character flaws that beset them and diligently work at becoming better people. It is just great reading and thoroughly enjoyable. Haven't read a book in a long time that I keep thinking about after finishing like this one.

Gripping

From the very first paragraph to the very last, this book was gripping. It has a fantastic story line that is intricately woven with fascinating characters. I was constantly surprised by the twists and turns in the book and the lives of several major characters. It is a book that affects you days after having read it, making other books pale in comparison.

Interpol Imbroglio

I truly enjoyed every morsal of this book. I loved the mystery, the suspense, and the "whodunit" that the author provides on almost on every page. The international intrique keeps you from putting it down. The descriptions of Vienna, and other cities and sites makes you feel like you are there. As well, her food descriptions are "delicious." I loved the different story lines and descriptions of her subjects. It gives you a total view of international law enforcement and it's inner workings, but takes you on a roller coaster ride of self-acclaimed power. I thank the author for keeping me entertained.

Fiction stranger than truth

The result of a brilliant and experienced mind, I found this book to be not only very informative and full of "imbrogli", but also deeply sensitive, even spiritual, with endless surprises, intrigues and fascinating outcomes. Easily read by its short chapters, it immediately catpured my interest and immagination and, before I knew it, I was immersed into what became a heart throb. Once started, it was hard to put down and, once finished, it left me to want more. What an incredible journey!
