Official Online Book Club Review - Dead of Spring

Dead of Spring received a four (out of four) star review in an Online Book Club Official Review.

​

"This is the kind of crime thriller that draws the reader in from the first chapter, grabs hold, and doesn’t let go until the last page. Although third in a series, one doesn’t have to read the first two books to become fully vested in this one. Previous cases are alluded to, but do not interrupt the flow of the story. Knowlton creates a likable character in Alexa, strong-willed and clear-sighted. The clues to the mystery are logical but not obvious. And for the first time in a long time, I was actually surprised by the surprise ending... Anyone who loves a good crime thriller will absolutely love Dead of Spring."

Dead of Summer Book Review by Author Val Muller

Like the first book, I enjoyed Dead of Summer. The author’s selection of detail helped me imagine that I was there with the characters, and by the end Alexa once again felt more like a friend than a character. I knew about her coffee and yoga habits, her family dinner on Friday night… It helped that Alexa seems as tied to her giant and lovable dog as I am to my corgis.

With all Alexa has been through, she seems to become skeptical of almost everyone (especially guys), and since we see much of the story through her eyes, her skepticism helped keep me guessing. I especially enjoyed that the thrills kept coming, even after I reached what I thought was the denouement.

The Woodstock story was entertaining, and I kept waiting for the connection to modern day to be made–which it was, adding to the tension of Alexa’s situation. All in all, I enjoyed this thriller.

I received a review copy of this novel, but the opinion expressed is my own.

Review - Library Journal

Just because DEAD of SUMMER is out, let's not forget about the first book in the Alexa Williams series DEAD of AUTUMN. In a July 27 article in Library Journal, Barbara Hoffert's article Thrillerfest X - What's Trending Now mentions DEAD of AUTUMN twice.

She says "Sherry Knowlton’s DEAD of AUTUMN (Sunbury) features a dead body harkening back to the crimes of an earlier era—there are conventions in genre writing that fans appreciate."

And, in reference to my remarks at the ITW Debut Author's breakfast, Hoffert writes: "Knowlton thanked her publisher (Sunbury Press Books) for letting her handle a tough topical issue, the antiabortion movement ... Will those topics be explored by more thriller writers in the future? Stay tuned."  See complete article here.
