The hits just keep on coming! Another tight and light mystery novel from the uber talented Rick Polad. His characters feel like people you know…and, for the most part, like! For Spencer fans, Death’s Door has some gasp-worthy moments, some ‘AHA’s’ and a few ‘I KNEW it’s’ to keep you guessing. Rick’s ability to keep multiple story lines going and occasionally interweaving with each other is one of my favorite displays of his talent. Death’s Door is a truly worthy continuation of the Spencer Manning series, and waiting for the next one is excruciating!

Rick Polad takes the reader from Chicago to Door County, Wisconsin in this latest Spencer Manning mystery. In addition to the fascinating plot involving adoptions, Polad’s greatest skill is his ability to create a setting for the reader. He’s done his research, and the reader gets to experience Chicago as well as central Wisconsin. A great addition to the Spencer Manning series.

Rick has again, brought us to the brink and back again with his wonderful cast of charachters. Rick is a bad influence. His books grab me and I don’t get much of anything done until I finish them. I am looking forward to the next one, he can’t write them fast enough! Thank you, Rick!
