A WORTHY READ Aug 23, 2009
By salvacion mendiola
""Island Girl""
This is a nice, entertaining book that I enjoyed over a week's vacation, lying in the sun and just forgetting about work hassles. I enjoyed the knowledge and experience of the author, and I liked his characters; and of course, the plot taking place in Northern Idaho, one of my favorite places on earth. The story is not phony-baloney TV CSI stuff (where the intricate crime is solved in about 45 minutes) and the author tells it like it is, sometimes long and slow, and needing a lot of patience and things not going as planned. I trust that he is thinking about a sequel - I would like to see some of these players again. Being a seasoned law enforcement veteran, he probably has dozens more stories to send our way. This is a good yarn!

Thriller, For real Police Procedures. Surprise ending Aug 24, 2009
By Richard Boultinghouse
"Fishing Rod Builder"
Jon Eisler has drawn on years of Military and Civilian Police work to develop a story that keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. He uses authentic police procedures and investigative tools to bring the book to its surprising conclusion. Outstanding!!!

 Stick With this one! Apr 29, 2008
By Claire James
"avid reader"
I love a good mystery! This book was slow to get started...after the first 27 pages I was about to give up, but then, it just flew! Very detailed, cop based, thriller, with a great twist. Very descriptive, without the CSI mumbo-jumbo that can sometimes loose a reader of mysteries. This was a long book, but it didn't take me long to finish it
after I got into it. So, my advise is don't quit on this one. It is well
worth the 500+ pages of material. Also makes me want to visit the great
northwest, with its magnificient settings. Hope there is more from this
author.

New Twist on Murder Apr 09, 2008
By Joseph H. Race
"Jose Mango"
This is a very detailed, precise 545-page novel that keeps you guessing along the way. The author is obviously an experienced detective and shares all his knowledge and investigative skills. The main character is Jake Lowry who has moved from a high-crime-rate city in California to enjoy his retirement in beautiful Coeur d'Alene in Northern Idaho. Jake soon finds himself back working as a deputy sheriff for Kootenai County with a German-born partner Gunter Lenca. Then the story takes off with the brutal murder of a scion of a prominent family. There's more than the usual cast of characters, and the reader stay glued to the developments from page to page. I liked how the author outlined the characters just before the first chapter. It helped me keep track. I enjoyed it and recommend it to others who want a cerebral and realistic novel to tackle. Good job by the writer.
EXPERIENCED INVESTIGATOR Nov 22, 2010
By Williamj Organ
"Travelling Bill"
I was introduced to John Eisler through a friend in Los Angeles. I like this book -he's obviously a seasoned investigator and knows police policies, techniques and procedures. This is a well-written book and keeps you interested right to the last page. I'm looking forward to Eisler's next book, maybe two more if the rumors are true. I especially like the setting in Idaho, and some of the characters that Eisler introduces.
