Editorial Reviews

I found myself eagerly making time to read "Pisaq Pipeline" at every opportunity. I thoroughly enjoyed the book because the author included so much realistic detail about the various locales, no doubt because he had visited these places. There was lots of suspense and the story line had me always wanting to keep reading to discover the next plot twist. The character development was great and I felt I really knew the principals. The book kept me entertained and interested throughout. I was sorry

I enjoyed the book, and it was hard to put down. The action moves along at a very high pace! How well I can imagine Machu Picchu is another thing.

I don't usually read mysteries but this book caught my attention and held it through every chapter. A combination of interesting characters, an unusual plot with twists and turns, combined with a magical place. You can tell the author was well versed in the history of Peru and well-traveled throughout the World Heritage Sites. While enjoying this book, I also got a history lesson -- what more can you ask for. I'm waiting for the next book by this author.

I found it nearly impossible to put this book down. I bought the Kindle Edition and kept my Kindle with me ALL the time so I could read "Pipeline" any time I had a few minutes. It is an excellent read! The descriptions of the various locales and the characters made it exceptionally easy to visualize the entire story. It made me feel like I knew the characters personally......I can't say enough about how good this book is. Can't wait for the next one in the series!!!
