ONE GREAT BOOK
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I had the good fortune to discover Bill Eidson when I picked up his THE GUARDIAN, a knockout thriller which led me to his ADRENALINE then to FRAMES PER SECOND. One after the other, Eidson's books are page-turning thrillers written with grit, wit, and sensibility. And now ONE BAD THING has confirmed my belief that this guy is a first-rate story teller and deserves the mantle of the late great John D. Macdonald as one reviewer has proclaimed. This is a gem of a book that keeps the pages turning while exploring important moral issues that speak to us all.
One False Move, Then Your Life Totally Changed

Bill Edison now has become even greater. The writing, the plot, the...., almost everything is good. He should be nominated for many literary or mystery awards, don't know why didn't get too much attention so far. Got marketing problem? Or, the critics simply too jealous of his talents? Only a few writers out there could have written all the books and every one of them is good! I am a split-the-hair reader, but I could never become picky against Mr. Edison. All I could do is holding my breath awaiting his next one. Live healthily, Mr. Edison, enjoy the longest writng era with your wonderful Muse and, thanks.
