Review:

A Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance OKRA Pick

"A highly entertaining mystery about personal legacies and the politics of privilege . . . I'm thrilled to have Cab back between the covers of a book."--The Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Season of Fear kicks into high gear as it combines the police procedural with the political thriller, never neglecting the tenets of each while exploring the best of both categories of mystery fiction . . . Freeman enthusiastically delves into the machinations of Florida politics with realistic behind-the-scenes details. The tightly coiled plot erupts in several directions, each plausible and believable to anyone the least bit familiar with Florida politics."--Florida Sun Sentinel

"Politics is a deadly business in the Sunshine State . . . In a story teeming with characters, someone from one party figures that murder makes a winning campaign strategy. Freeman does an expert job conducting the traffic and keeping the thrills within the bounds of believability."--The Toronto Star

"Freeman is an excellent purveyor of psychological suspense . . . [He] expertly links the back stories of the Bones and the Bradleys and keeps the suspense at fever pitch."--The Daily Mail on The Bone House

"Scorching suspense . . . In this book, [Freeman] has surpassed himself."--The Star Tribune on The Bone House

"Here's a psychological thriller done by someone who knows how to write one. While basically a story of a man and wife, the plot bleeds out to include a detective and and CSI analyst, some troubled teenagers, and a terrible tragedy from the past. The tragedy, portrayed in the breathtaking prologue, reaches lethal tentacles into the future and threatens almost everyone involved."--Suspense Magazine on The Bone House

"Season of Fear has everything: unexpected plot twists that keep on coming, a smart and charming hero, and a setting that's as sultry and dangerous as a tropical storm. It will blow you away."--Linda Castillo, New York Times-bestselling author

"Right-wing extremists, drug dealers, and political opponents are all credible potential culprits . . . A taut thriller that's at once a whodunit and a who-will-do-it."--Publishers Weekly
