From AudioFile

This epic tale of the South spans fifty years, beginning with the appointment of the first police chief in Delano, Georgia, in 1919 and the first of a series of disappearances that will baffle police for half a century. Mark Hammer gives a slow, judicious impression to the story of Will Henry Lee's career as police chief, the long period of racial tensions, the election of Lee's son to governor and the appointment of the South's first black police chief, who ultimately solves the earlier disappearances. At times, Hammer's voice comes across as old and tired, and he gives little distinction to characters. But the homey wisdom of his voice, coupled with Woods's engaging story, makes this audiobook memorable.

3.0étoiles sur 5 very intriguing...but a bit too slow, Jui 16 2004
Par Matthew Schiariti (new jersey) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This is the second book by Stuart Woods that I've read. The first being Orchid Beach which was paced like lightning. This one was a bit slower.

It reminded me of a Ken Follett book in that it spans over the course of many years, decades even, intermingling a central location and all the characters who populated that location over the years.

I thought the dialogue was a bit on the dry side. Everyone had their own voice and I got the feeling from the style Woods used that people were indeed southern, but there wasn't that much personality to the characters. In other words, I didn't get that much feeling of emotion from their words as I do other books.

The book is only about 427 pages long but it seemed like it was alot longer than that.

I liked the theme overall..I found the premise of the story very interesting. But the pacing and the lack of focus or time spent on the 'main event' of the book (the common theme that drives the whole story and its characters through the years) kind of killed it for me.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great History/ Mystery Novel, Mai 20 2004
Par Judith Hodges (GA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Chiefs (Hardcover)
Chiefs is a great introduction to the Stuart Woods' novels. After I read Chiefs, I have been hooked on all his books. You have to read Chiefs to get the history of the characters that you will met in all his other novels. The opening chapters gets you interested in the mystery, but overall you care about the people. This is the first book I recommend to anyone interested in a good story.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Woods right up there with Cather, Mai 17 2004
Par Dick Gosselin (South Portland, ME United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I am a Broadcast Journalist in Portland, Maine. I am primarily a storyteller and frequently write stories about my childhood in Somersworth, New Hampshire on a web site devoted to that City. I also maintain a website where I tell Franco-American stories. My favorite writer until I saw the Made for TV movie "Chief's" in 1983 had been Willa Cather (Pioneer, My Antonia etc.) Now Stuart Woods joins her. My co-workers will tell you I can recite from memory the entire "Chief's" screenplay...almost. Patiently waiting for it to come out on DVD I delight in the paperback while waiting for that big day. I select chapters at random and enjoy the extra detail cut from the movie. I always wondered how Foxy Funderburke lived with no visible means of support. It's all in the book. Writer Stephen King, though a magnificent benevolent person, sometimes reveals his social awkwardness in his writing..(Kingdom Hospital is a good example)..Stuart woods reveals his social savvy. Billy Lee's proposal to his British War bride epitomizes what I mean. If all these characters lived for real...they would walk and talk as scripted by Woods.
