Waiting for the next one!, May 7 2004
This review is from: Eve Missing (Paperback)
It took me a lot of discipline not to try to finish this one in one night,so it took exactly two sleepless nights to read the whole book.Very strong characters and a lot of surprises. And who would not like to have friends like Smokey has? Looking very much forward to the next one.

A tour de force mystery, Mar 20 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Eve Missing (Paperback)
On the advice of a friend I picked up this book. I literally couldn't put it down once I started reading. Author Pezzullo has created a very vivid, and sympathetic hero in Smokey Annicelli - the wounded ex-cop who searches for the missing Eve. I can't remember another book I've read recently with a more fascinating lineup of supporting characters, from the warm, sophisticated fashion design Danielle Giroux, to Smokey's mentor Sabino Goldstick, to Sunny - the sexy beach girl Smokey meets in Miami. And there are more. Pezzullo brings all of them to life with tremendous skill. The book is excellently plotted with many unanticipated twists and turns. You don't know where author Pezzullo is going to take you next. But it sure is an exhilarating ride. I'm looking forward to more from this author. In the meantime, I urge you to read this book.

The best mystery I've read in years, Jan 18 2004
This review is from: Eve Missing (Paperback)
Rarely have I read a book that is so absorbing. Right away the reader is pulled into the very colorful world of Smokey Annicelli - an ex-NYC cop. He's a very interesting, attractive guy, but he's got problems. And his problems only get worse when he takes on the case of missing Eve. She's a high fashion model with a lurid past. Her mentor is a beguiling and sophisticated fashion designer named Danielle Giroux. She's just one of the many fascinating characters that bring this book so vividly to life. My favorite was Smokey's mysterious and influential friend Sabino Goldstick. The book is rich with psychological complexity and atmosphere. But what made it so compelling for me were two things: One, the very human and sympathetic central character, Smokey. And, secondly, the mystery that keep me completely riveted until the end.
