"Dave Vizard has done it again. Mackinac Murder, the latest installment in his Nick Steele murder mystery series, starts out fast and never slows down. Beautiful Mackinac Island is an unlikely place for a murder, but that just makes the story more intriguing. The characters are well drawn, and there's plenty not to like about them. The plot is full of twists and turns, and Nick has his hands full from start to finish. Mackinac Murder is a first-rate murder mystery and a great read." -C. Cutter
