Summary: Reason I love Cook
Comment: This book is another reason I love Thomas H. Cook. He has a way of telling a story that keeps you on edge. You are dying to know how it ends, but the journey is long and often dark. When I first started reading this book, I wanted to rush to the end, but his story kept me hooked. He is not like most authors that write the same story with a different character everytime. For someone like me that reads lots of mysteries, it is nice to be challenged in a book. His writing style makes you slow down and enjoy the ride making it a great read.

Summary: Unbelievable Page Turner!!!!
Comment: This has got to be one of the best mysteries I have ever read. Wow!! If it wasn't for reading the reviews from other Amazon readers I would have never thought to buy this book. I am very glad I did and have now ordered another Thomas H. Cook novel to read.
This story was so haunting. I couldn't put it down and once it ended I found myself going back to read passages, trying to understand what had happened. It is a real shocker, grabs you and you won't soon forget the characters.
It is about young love in the south in the 60's. It is also about a tragic event that happened and how it effected this small community for 30 years. Read this book!!! You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Lives up to expectations.
Comment: I've come to expect great things from Thomas H. Cook, and he always delivers. "Breakheart Hill" is no exception.
It's hard to review any of Mr. Cook's stories without giving away too much of the plot. Even though the story jumps back and forth between past and present, it was simple enough to follow along.
The power of the story comes from the resentment and unrest surrounding the first attempts at integration. Kelli Troy, having come to the South from Baltimore, is naturally more sensitive to such issues than the local youth who have been exposed to racial prejudice from birth and see nothing unusual about it. Indeed it would be impossible for them to view the situation with an unbiased eye.
One sunny day Kelli is attacked on Breakheart Hill, and the reader fears learning the truth, for the list of suspects is wide-ranging. Although Lyle Gates is tried and convicted for the crime, the reader can't be sure he was the one . . . .
