Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jeff Abbott will you please hurry and write more!
Review: All of the Jordan Poteet stories are very readable for a broad based audience. I have recommended these books to all of my friends, and we love them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jordan Poteet is a cool librarian!
Review: As a professional librarian I am always excited to find books that have librarians as main characters. Jordy and his family are quirky and as interesting as they come. The twists and turns in this book kept me reading much longer than my allotted time for lunch break

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Abbott has entranced me again and left me begging for more..
Review: Distant Blood is the fourth in Abbott's delicious Jordy Poteet series. They are like reading candy -- addictive, leaving me craving for more. I found this series two years ago and have been waiting for new installments. Now, five minutes after finishing this one, I'm craving the next and fearing he won't write any more.

This book is wonderful, continuing the story set forth in the earleir novels,while managing to add new, engaging characters who you, as the reader, never quite know whether to love or turn in under suspicion of murder!

Rating: 0 stars
Summary: Fourth in the award-winning Jordan Poteet series
Review: DISTANT BLOOD revolves around a young man's attempt to fit into a family he never knew he had; a family that is haunted by a terrible murder in its past, and is willing to kill to keep its secrets hidden. I drew on a difficult situation in my own family as the inspiration for DISTANT BLOOD. In this novel, amateur sleuth Jordan Poteet faces not only the painful aftermath of crime, but the personal consequences of investigating pasts best left alone. It is a "malice domestic" novel in every sense-- dark, twisted family roots, a Southern gothic setting, and a pervasive feeling of wrongs unavenged. I hope you'll enjoy it if you give it a try.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As good as the first three!
Review: Every Jordy Poteet novel leaves me wanting more. I come from a Oklahoma/Arkansas family, and the speech patterns and family relationships are very familiar and comfortable to me. Why hasn't there been another book? Come on, I want to know what happens next! I'm getting homesick for Mirabeau, Texas.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DO WE GET A 5TH BOOK IN THIS SERIES???
Review: I just couldn't get enough of this Jordan Poteet series, and even though I was dissapointed that it seems to have ended with "Distant Blood"; I look forward to the next closet sleuth I'm sure Abbott will create. All four of his novels left me wanting MORE MORE MORE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Abbott has entranced me again and left me begging for more..
Review: Jordan Poteet is trying very hard to fit into his real father's family. But these people are just plain odd! Deep, dark family secrets, murder and fear on an isolated island, the consequences of looking into a past perhaps better left alone--this is not just a murder mystery. This one is just plain scarey!

Read it with a trusted friend, but most definitely read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't read this in the dark!

Summary: Powerful finale to an excellent series!
Review: Jordy Poteet's newly-discovered father, Bob Don Goertz, invites him to a family reunion on an island off the Texas coast. Jordy does not want to acknowledge Bob Don, let alone the rest of his extended family. However, his girlfriend Candace convinces him that he owes his father the respect of going and that he needs to get to know his biological family. Jordy goes grudgingly, and begins to think he made a mistake, when his new family begins to argue and snipe at one another and at him. One of his relatives shows up dead under suspicious circumstances and Jordy notices how eager some of them are to blame it on natural causes or suicide. As time passes, Jordy begins to learn family secrets which have been kept quiet for years. He feels certain that one of the family is the murderer, but the family lies and deceptions seem to have created a number of people who had motive and opportunity. This is the most powerful book yet, in the wonderful Jordan Poteet Series. Abbott paints wonderful word pictures and creates totally believable, if malevolent, characters. This book is highly recommended!
