JM

After reading Ben Small's book "Alibi on Ice" I ordered "The Olive Horseshoe". I got into it right from the start and hope he writes another book in the future.

Olive Horseshoe

A suspense -filled piece of work. The author's skill in making me turn the next page kept me up reading past midnight!! But it was worth the lack of sleep. The author's legal background made for reality too. G. Silver

New Anti-Hero is born

To say that Ben Small matured as a writer from his first novel, "Alibi on Ice", is a massive understatement. His new book "The Olive Horseshoe" hits like a sledgehammer to the gut. From the first page to the last, the electric tension and explosive action never cease. Denton Wright may well become this age's new anti-hero. I want more.

Horseshoes and Grenades

From the first page, the action explodes like a grenade. Small has an amazing ability to put you into the action. His descriptions are vivid. I found myself planning my escape from the thugs intent on cutting my throat as I turned the pages faster, and faster. Like his first story, "Alibi on Ice", "the Olive Horseshoe" has all the elements, mystery, sex, exotic locations, and great detail to make a great read.

Murderously Delightful!

They say that the devil is in the details, and Mr. Small takes devilish delight in tempting us with all the right bits in "The Olive Horseshoe". Since his first novel two years ago - "Alibi On Ice" - he has refilled his mystery writer's trick bag with lots of new tools, but more important has buffed his literary muscle to Ironman conditions. Everything fits, and when you snap the last piece of his deadly puzzle into place, you will exclaim "Yes!". The author's characters breathe with life, from the starring quartet to the supporting cast, and he paints the locales like a natve. The pull of the story line is so strong that I marathon read for two days straight. Be prepared, for once I started down the first page I could not let go. As you travel with Denton Wright into this Byzantine maze, wondering why his father was murdered, like Denton you won't simply want to know, you have to know. I won't finish with the usual superlatives; instead let me state that with "The Olive Horseshoe" Mr. Small has crafted a novel written exactly the way that I like to read.
