NEW--Fancy Gap "Reader/Fan feedback": ═►Christine Whittington--Director of the Library at Greensboro College “This book is a hoot! It is tons of fun, in addition to being a sometimes-gritty and gruesome crime/mystery novel. Athletic, hot, career-driven retired investigators (she=FBI, he=corporate crime) are convinced to come out of their idyllic, workout-intensive, wine-appreciating retirement to take on the perpetrator of a heinous child abduction. I wish I had the money to acquire the film rights--I would cast Sigourney Weaver and William Hurt as the well-preserved Nick and Nora and have as much fun with the movie as Mr. Gelly obviously had with his first novel!

WOW reader review for “Orchard Gap” ═►★★★★★Amazon ═► “I love the comfort of sinking into a new book and, for two days this week, couldn’t put down C. David Gelly’s second work of fiction, Orchard Gap! It’s a fast paced novel that kept my interest. While Orchard Gap lays out a chilling plot about a brilliant scientist developing a secret GMO corn seed that will destabilize America, the subplots involving everything from thoroughbred racing to a bear attack also contribute to a compelling read. I enjoyed visiting with some of my favorite characters from his first book who continued to lighten up this novel. Plus the author saved a surprise for the ending.
