Higly recommended!, Dec 17 2005
By Armchair Interviews - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Echoes of the Lost Order (Hardcover)
Steve MacKinnon is a small-town police chief in Virginia. He is also a Civil War reenactor in his spare time.
The dead body of a woman dressed in a confederate uniform is found during a reenactment festival in town, MacKinnon gets to use his experience as a San Diego homicide detective to solve the case in-house, rather than farm it out to the state police as had been done before he was hired.
A mole in the police department, an antagonistic mayor, and several suspects lead MacKinnon up and down the east coast chasing leads.
At the heart of this mystery is a document known as the Lost Order, a Confederate order that made its way into Union hands and led to the battle of Antietam.
Lamb, also a former California homicide detective now living in small-town Virginia, uses his past experience to bring this first novel to life. This book was "stay-up-all-night-to-finish-it" good. Not only did I get a great mystery but I also learned a lot about Civil War battlefields, antiquities, and reenactments.
Armchair Interviews says: A highly recommended read. Several excellent twists and turns leave the reader guessing right up to the end. What more can you ask of a mystery!

Echoes of the Lost Order, Sep 12 2009
By M. Walker "video fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Echoes of the Lost Order (Hardcover)
A great police procedural by a retired policeman that will grab you and take you on a rollercoaster ride. Fun from beginning to end and exceptionally well written. And if you haven't read the "Teddy Bear" books, by John Lamb, you are missing more great reading.

Great Book, Jun 30 2009
By Jennifer A. Kus - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Echoes of the Lost Order (Hardcover)
John J.Lamb is a great author. I have all of his other mystery novels he's written and his writing style is great. I love how he uses some places that are real but also adds fiction to it. I look foreward to any
book he comes out with.
Listmania!
