The Dells: A Joe Shoe Mystery: 2 - Softcover

Complex, thoughtful and disturbing; this a is a good reminder that you may be able to go home again, but you just might not want to.

Michael Blair has a clean, compelling style, and this second appearance of Joe Shoe bodes well for more.

A tension filled, exciting read.

Shoe is a most likeable character and it is a pleasure to reminisce with him, until the truth is discovered and hist home. This is a good one.

Michael Blair's latest novel, his fourth mystery and best book to date, has an exciting blend of dead bodies, decades-old secrets and unusual characters.

A meaty and accomplished novel.

Well-written and delivers an intriguing, satisfying experience ... Blair is a polished storyteller, poised to take his place among the best in Canada today.

The unexpected twists and turns lead to a page-turning conclusion.

... a powerful book about revenge, motives, and whether justice was served and why.

In the past few years Michal Blair has matured into one of Canada's most accomplished crime writers, with a confident hand and a strong voice. The Dells is an insightful and evocative tale, with a tone reminiscent of Harper Lee's classic, To Kill a Mockingbird; I recommend it highly.--Jim Napier
