Reactions and Reviews

On the night this novella was given to me to review. I thought I'd glance through it and read it sometime in the future. Well, my glancing through ended 2 hours later after 1:00 a.m. Once started. I could not put it down until I finished it. The reading was so vivid in my mind I could picture what was happening. There were times in the story that I cried. laughed and felt close to Hardcastle & McCormick. Some of the fears expressed by Mark as to what happens to inmates in prison I'm sure are very real. Every now and then the story would not follow continuity and I would have to go back and re-read the previous paragraphs to pick up which direction the story was going. The repartee that transpired between Hardcastle & McCormick in the series was definitely apparent in this novel. The caring, concern and love for each other came through loud and clear. It also made me realize how much I have missed them on TV! This is recommended reading for anyone who enjoyed the series and like is an action packed story that contains warmth, chases, fear, and triumph. [1]
