Reseñas de la Crítica

"[ Starvation Lake] deserves comparison with Dennis Lehane's Mystic River" ( Booklist, starred review)

Good tale, mediocre reader.

It's a great tale, unfortunately the reader seemed very slow - didn't really fit with my personal taste in readers. There would be extremely long (almost painful) pauses in between dialog occasionally. It was a little strange. But it's a great story.

Entertaining, it helps if you are a hockey fan

I found the book entertaining, fairly well written and the story line was ok at best.

Good storytelling, tough subject!

Loved the book, even though parts of it were hard to listen too! Can’t wait to read the next book in the seriies!

just OK

Okay mystery, fairly well written heavy on hockey with a questionably bright Mama's boy for a primary character. The author describes small town life well. This was his debut to a series. I'm not sure I will read any further installments.

A good first mystery book

Bryan Gruley has written a very good mystery book set in a dark, cold setting perfect for the mystery that centers around a small town and hockey. I must admit, I know little about the sport of hockey, but the author's love of the sport is very evident and I learned a lot from his story-telling. The author is an extremely talented author. His words kept me interested even when I questioned whether I wanted to continue with the subject matter. Ultimately, I am glad I did because it turns out to be a very timely story for sports, coaches, recent news. The narrator did a very good job.
