Summary: Doug Richardson is a masterful storyteller!
Review: "True Believers" is neatly woven and compelling with a fabric populated by real people caught up in lives and a political arena that is all too real...As an avid reader and a (screen/t.v.) writer for over twenty years "True Belivers" captured my attention totally. I couldn't put it down until I finished the last page. It is a taut, suspenseful rollercoaster ride, filled with people and a political arena that are so well etched you're hooked from page one; pulled into lives that smack with such reality you forget that you're reading a book and become a voyeur watching characters grow and change as they reveal intimate moments. It was like peeling a grape. Each layered chapter brought forth the bitter-sweetness of life and left you with an aftertaste for more long after the book is finished. Filled with such subtlety and foreshadowing, the book demands a second read, so that one can catch the almost visceral nuances missed in the first enthralling pass.

Summary: This book kept me up!
Review: Forget the beach. I bought this book for my vacation and wound up consuming it before I left my house. I'd read the author's last book, "Dark Horse," and thought it was a great political-thriller-in-a-small town sort of read. But this one made a "true believer" out of me (pun definitely intended). W.D. Theroux is a villain on par with Hannibal Lecter. From page one, this book makes promises and then it delivers over and over again. I especially liked the recovering alcoholic senator as a hero and the very obvious, Drudge-like cyber-sleaze of a journalist who acts as Theroux's unwitting accomplice in crime. Don't leave town without this book!

Summary: Good thriller, soft ending
Review: I loved "Dark Horse" so I had to read Doug Richardson's latest and I wasn't disappointed. It was a long story but it kept me turning pages furiously to see what would come next. For the most part the characters were good, but lacked full development. The plot was a little wild, but having said that; I loved the way the book flowed and kept me rapt. The ending was a little soft for this intense of a plot--but I enjoyed it anyway.

Summary: This book is terrific!
Review: I loved this book. It is destined to be a suspense classic in the same class as The Fugitive. I couldn't put it down. If this doesn't become a hit summer movie I would be shocked.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It combined the excellent read of a Grisham or Patterson with a higher level plot. The ending in this book is among the most satisfying I've ever read. Too often, an author will keep me excited until the last 50 or so pages, but then plod toward a predictable ending. This one, however, brings things to a close with some very well thought out plot twists. Outstanding.

Summary: Richardson made a "Believer" out of me.
Review: The plot was ingenious yet remained realistic. The characters were multi-faceted and interesting, what made them realistic was their imperfections. A fantastic book, True Believers kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. I anxiously await the next offering from Doug Richardson.
