Summary: If you love Lou Boldt
Review: You'll love Ridley Pearson's latest edition. Middle of Nowhere has Boldt, LaMoia, Daphne Matthews, and the others racing against time to solve Seattle's biggest problems. This time, the Blue Flu (cop sickout) complicates things. The suspense will keep you up all night, if it doesn't kill you.

Summary: Middle of Nowhere
Review: It appears to have all the excitement and mystery one has come to expect from Ridley Pearson. I love the intermingled relationships between Lou Boldt and his crew, as well as his family, not to mention the crime and all the details. Once I start a Ridley Pearson book, I don't want to put it down! Being from the Pacific Northwest I identify with the locations and can visualize!

Summary: Boldt and company are back!
Review: Lou Boldt, Daphne Matthews and Sergeant John LaMoia are back and trying to save Seattle from sinking into total chaos. A young woman is paralyzed in a brutal attack, then one of Seattles Boys in blue suffers the same fate and it is suspected that a fellow officer is the suspect. The department is in the middle of a labor dispute, and suffering from the "Blue Flue" leaving Inspector Boldt without much help. this is the premise for "Middle of Nowhere" The story is helped along by great forensic detail, taut plotting, well developed characters, and the screw-tightening suspense that Mr Riddley is famous for! Buy it! you will not be dissapointed.I also recomend: "A Tourist in the Yucatan" thriller/adventure/mystery.

Summary: Another Masterful Story
Review: Let's start by saying that I know Lou Boldt and Daphne Matthews from Ridley Pearson's long series of books about their adventures, escapades, and devotion to solving the crime. Now I know them even better and like them even more. "Middle of Nowhere" is a terrific story and Ridley cannily hid the truth to the very end. He's getting better at direction and misdirection with every book. I started the book on a Wednesday night. Then I blew off all of Thursday to take it to the end. It's that good. If you're new to the Boldt character, you won't go wrong by reading some of the early books first. If you're a long-standing fan, go for it right now. This one will have you flipping pages and soaking up the start realism as fast as your eyes and brain can handle. Verdict: It's worth those five stars, and then some.

Summary: Pearson's "Middle of No Where" Absolutely Arresting!
Review: Pearson transports readers into the inner sanctum of the Seattle Police Department to experience the conflict and drama the "blue flu" unleashes amongst the cops and citizens they protect and serve. Readers are thrust into the psychological and physical aspects of police work as Lt. Lou Boldt and police pyschologist Daphne Matthews attempt to make sense of the scant clues in their case involving brutal assaults on Seattle citizens and a few selected cops. Frustration and pressure envelope them as they struggle to filter out the fraudulent facts being thrown in their paths. They also try to keep the overabundance of sexual tension between them from re-igniting - and creating a threat to his marriage a second time. Clues that seem obvious one moment, shift to being meaningless the next and little help is being offered by those in the position to do so. The closer Boldt gets to the truth, the more danger he finds himself facing, and those responsible for the string of robberies and brutal attacks plaguing the city have no qualms about permanently ending Boldt's investigating days. Not to be deterred, Boldt choses numerous paths to explore - none of them safe - none of them boring. A number of writers manage to get an adequate feel for the inner workings of a cop's world, but Pearson hits the bullseye with such precise accuracy, it's tough to believe he's never walked a beat. If he ever decided to quite his day job, I'm willing to bet there's plenty of police departments that would like his name listed on their personnel roster.

Summary: EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT
Review: A case of the "blue flu" has struck the Seattle police force, causing a majority of the force to be on an unofficial strike, leaving Detective Lou Boldt to remain (forced actually)on the job. With the near death of a female officer, and a string of house robberies, Boldt is pushed to the limit to find answers. Boldt enlists the help of police psychologist Daphne Matthews, and Sergeant John LaMoia to aid in his investigation. As Boldt struggles with three seemingly seperate situations, he begins to question if they are actually un-related. As things go out of control, resulting in more robberies and "warnings" to Boldt, he refuses to give up, putting his life on line to solve this case. I will start off by saying...THIS IS AN EXCELLENT NOVEL. I am not going further into detail on the plot, all the fun is finding out the secrets as you go. "Middle Of Nowhere" is a fast-paced, well written novel that entertains as it shocks with new plot twists. Boldt is one of the most interesting and likable hero's in any current fiction series. Ridley Pearson has written the novel that lives up to his reputation of being the "best thriller writer alive". After the disappointing "The First Victim", fans of the Boldt series get what they expect, a great book. If you are new to the series, start with this book and then go back and read the other Boldt novels, excluding "The First Victim" (not the best entry in the series). "Middle Of Nowhere" is a great summer read...it's great read in any season. A MUST read! Nick Gonnella
