Adirondack Detective Returns

John Briant's book 'Adirondack Detective Returns' is an enjoyable, exciting, romantic follow-on to his earlier fine book 'Adirondack Detective'. As I turned the pages of 'Adirondack Detective Returns', it was like I was "going back home" to all my old "friends & Acquaintences" from 'Adirondack Detective'. Private Investigator Jason Black and his fiancee' Patty provide a subplot of love, blossoming in the Adirondacks, while Jason propels himself into the thrilling main plot - the case of the 'Arizona - New York' connection. And along the way, author John Briant weaves us through a number of subplots that just add spice and excitement to the main dialogue and the anticipation of Jason's and Patty's budding romance. Having lived myself in the Arizona desert areas around Casa Grande, as well as in the Utica, NY area with the prestigious Adirondack Mountains Park a short journey North, I could immerse into Briant's story like I was one of the characters myself - it is that real and engrossing! John Briant weaves his story so well, while paying homage to the hearty people and places of the great Adirondack Park. From Dale and his piloting adventures, to John & Lila at the diner, to friendly Wilt Chambers and logger Charlie Perkins - all make you feel at home in the Adirondack North land - it's like you're part of the 'gang' as you read along. And John Briant also introduces us to many new characters (on both sides of the law!). All in all its a great read and I highly recommend 'Adirondack Detective Returns' to anyone who wants to curl up in an easy chair or rock on a porch swing while venturing into a few hours of Adirondack excitement! My hat is off to you Mr. Briant - I hope you have many more stories for us involving this great cast of characters in the beautiful God's Country inside the Adirondack Blue Line!
