What Advance Review Copy readers say: “On Lucky Shores is the best novel of its genre I have read in the last 10 years. Written in the smooth style I’ve become accustomed to from this exceptional author. This suspense thriller represents a 180 degree shift from his DCI Jones Casebook series and is so well paced that I had no choice but to turn page after page, and get annoyed when I had to stop reading to perform some menial day to day physical act, other than to keep on reading. “Everything about the book keeps you wondering, and there are just enough twists in the story to imitate one of the winding switchback roads leading down the Rock Mountains to Lucky Shores. “Kudos to Mr. Donovan, and 5 stars at a minimum!†David Wind, author of The Nevaeh series of fantasy novels.
