3.0 out of 5 stars More of Gorman's Midwestern mysteries... April 18 2004
By William Fare
Format:Paperback
While it may not quite be up to snuff with some of Gorman's other offerings, Black River Falls is a friendly enough book, with plenty of rich characters walking around. Ben, the unlikely hero of the tale, is an innocent underdog with a heart of gold. The veterinarian mother, Lynn, is the widowed caregiver with the heart of gold. Well, you get the idea.

Gorman tapdances dangerously close to the territory of his buddy, Dean Koontz. There aren't any elements of the supernatural here, but the good natured intelligence of the Good Guys comes close to being a notch too sweet and tender for my tastes (yes, including the weepy 'putting the kitten to sleep' scene).

It's another pretty-good rural mystery from a guy who can write it better than this. The Midwest gets painted pretty well, actually, but it's the formulaic tale of a psycho brother versus the good brother that wears thin towards the back pages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gorman DELIVERS the goods and then some... Aug 20 2002
By Darren Jacks
Format:Paperback
Ed Gorman has got to be one of the best thriller writers working in the genre today. Gorman's writing is sharp and easy to read, he doesn't over-write like so many others out there; his style is simple and straight-forward.

Gorman keeps the story moving along, despite some slow spots, paces it well and keeps the premise pretty basic. The only pet peeve I have is the repetitive dialogue.

"Really?"
"Really."

That is what I mean. He does this several times during the novel and it gets a little annoying after doing it 4 or 5 times.

However, the novel is excellent overall and Gorman is a master storyteller. This is a must-read for Gorman fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT READ Mar 10 2002
By Creepysusie
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This has to be one of my favorites of all time. I borrowed this little gem from a friend and read it in no time at all. In my opinion (as a fan of Gorman) this is one of his best. It really keeps you hanging to the very end.
