That it has to end!
The first novel in the Gus LeGarde Series of mysteries, Double Fort grabs the reader's attention from the outset, accelerates to a climax, and then leaves one wanting more, as every great novel does.
With the beautiful background of New York State's Genesee Valley, Double Fort teems with vivid imagery. Whether he is describing the play of the wind on a field of snow or relaying the layout of a room, Lazar's eye for detail transports the reader into the scene of the movie which obviously plays in his mind as he writes.
His meticulous descriptions do not end with the inanimate. Lazar has breathed life into his entire cast of characters, from the gentle German giant Siegfried to the rapscallion Harold to the innocent Johnny. Each character provides a nuance to the story, lending it credibility and drawing the reader further into the action-packed mystery that lies within.
And through it all, Lazar has even managed to weave in romance. The budding relationship between Gus, who is tormented by his loyalty to his deceased wife, and Camille, who is tortured by her palpable memories of abuse, is beautifully choreographed and is achingly real.
Double Fort has something for all readers. Mystery and romance combine with a colorful array of characters to produce a story that begs to be continued.
