Another great book by Stuart Woods

Not as atmospheric as "Chiefs " which the reason I bought this book. A solid story , if unlikely, not that anyone cares . A good listen .

Good read

Let's just say it's like having a really good burger - not an extraordinary meal, but very enjoyable and leaves you satisfied. Some interesting twists at the end give the reader a good "ohhh" and just a solid story to keep you entertained. Wonderful performance by the narrator.

Enjoyable listen

Any additional comments?

This is a very nice book for a listen on a long trip. Nice story line, interesting characters and enough going on that you don't get bored. And it has an interesting ending. I'm not a huge fan of fake southern accents but this narrator did not grate on my nerves much at all.

Under the Lake

Any additional comments?

Under the Lake is just under ten hours of listening narrated by Tom Stechschulte.

This is a good read/listen, a mystery. The lead character is a single man who experiences a bizarre disappearance of the lake outside his house, revealing an old farm. Part paranormal, mystical, part who-done-it mystery. Everyone in his small town, except him, knows the dark history he unfolds. Thwarted by everyone, including the local librarian and sheriff, he peels away the layers of an Agatha Christie-type story. The ending is a surprising twist. Thus is the foundation.

Narration by Tom Stechschulte is great, you’ll enjoy. No trouble discerning who-says-what-to-who.

Enjoy!

You like the mystical? Maybe this is for you.

I've enjoyed Stuart Woods. But mystical stuff doesn't crank my handle. I bought this on the strength of my past Wood experiences. Okay… my fault, I'll read the reviews before getting another of his novels. If you like ghostly explanations for mysteries… You could like this one fine. Me? Not so much. Finished it though. So, it was a three star experience.

Too much sex

Intriguing story and some of it was predictable but way too much sex and sexual innuendo.

What a great story!

Great characters and suspense with supernatural entwined. It had a Stephen King vibe to the book. I truly enjoyed.

Hmmmmmm.....

Fast paced, fun, read. On top of the standard mystery novel, it's got some mysterious quirky parts that make you wonder. The final, ending, twist was quite unique. Gimmie another Stuart Woods book!
