The Lake Effect: A Milan Jacovich Mystery: 5 (Milan Jacovich Mysteries) - Softcover

"Roberts always tells a well-paced story in excellent prose....his strengths are his characters, his dialogue, and the fine sense of place that permeates his books". -- Mostly Murder

Packed with unusual heroes, villains, and political twists and turns . . . a mystery which defies predictability. -- Book Reviewer "Midwest Book Review"

The story is nicely fleshed out with characters so vivid you could probably pick them out on the Cleveland streets: Roberts describes them so well, even an out-of-towner knows where he stands. -- Book Reviewer "Publishers Weekly"

Every Jacovich adventure is better than the last, and this one is no exception. An outstanding entry in an outstanding series, and a must for every mystery collection. (Starred review) -- Book Reviewer "Booklist"

A real treat . . . If you've somehow missed this series, definitely give it a try . . . If you're already a fan, this book will delight you even further. -- Book Reviewer "Mystery News"

This is one of the few mystery books I've read that I didn't completely figure out halfway through . . . Roberts's characters are colorful and intriguing. The plot is creative, the settings rich and varied and the writing literate, yet comfortable.--Sue Todd"Hudson Hub-Times" (01/01/1994)
