Summary: A Good Read
Review: From the opening of this book, I was hooked. This was a fast read with good pacing. I enjoyed the fact that Byas included so much information about Oklhoma. The plot was creative and the characters were likable and entertaining. I understand that Byas is currently working on a second book about Lance McNabb, and I hope that it hits the stands soon! I will definitly be keeping up with this author.

Summary: Right up there with the big boys in my opinion!
Review: I just received this book for Christmas, and as far as I'm concerned, it is right up there with the big boys of mystery! I am a fan of John Grisham and William Bernhardt, particularly because they are always out for justice. In Steve Byas' character of Lance McNabb, we see the same kind of tenacity and decencey that keeps one coming back for more. The character descriptions were excellent and the names of the towns were fun (especially if you are from Oklahoma. For a first book, it shows promise for a great series. Many of the author's opinions came through in the plot, which I found interesting, but a little distracting at the same time. Maybe a little of that comes through in every book, though. I found some sentences to be a little short and incomplete, which a mediocre editor would correct.. Overall, I will definitely buy the next book, and will buy copies of this for friends and family!

Summary: Author review
Review: Summary by author, Steve Byas.(I gave it 5 stars because I had to fill in that field to do this review---I would have preferred to leave that blank).Lance McNabb expected the assignment would offer a welcome diversion from his usual fare as a private investigator: exposing insurance scams, tailing unfaithful spouses, and litigation research. All the young and beautiful Lisa Allen asked him to do was research her family history. Lisa's grandfather, Chuck Eller, is adamantly opposed to the project. He dismisses it as "digging up bones." Lance has little difficulty in uncovering genealogical information, but he also discovers why Lisa's grandfather so strongly opposes his effort. In Digging Up Bones, we find that shaking the family tree can be downright lethal.
