I have read three of Nolan Carlson's books and I liked them all. I liked how he split the adventures of the boys into the chapters. I think that you Carlson is the only person who will start a secqil(spelling?) at the same place as the first book starts. I hope he writes more stories like that because those are the only one I will keep reading after I say I will stop. I really was interesting in his books.

Dorie Lennox's assignment is to tail the spoiled heiress-to-be, Thalia Hines, daughter of an old acquaintance of Dorie's partner and fellow private eye. Evaline Hines is dying and desperate to be sure her beautiful but wild only child doesn't become involved with too many of the wrong kind of fortune hunting men that she seems so drawn to. So she has hired Amos Haddam and Dorie to keep an eye on Thalia. The assignment means lots of late nights in night clubs and dance halls as Thalia jumps from admirer to admirer.

The present front runner for Thalia's affections seems to be Barnaby Wake and there are rumors that Mr. Wake is involved in a lot of unsavory pastimes, when he's not directing the Hallelujah Choir at the Plaza Methodist Church. Wake is not only married; he has been linked with several other women and his politics seem to lean toward support of political troublemakers in the days just before America enters the second World War. Definitely not prime son in law material!

This book is a terrific look at 1940s Kansas City as seen through the eyes of tough but vulnerable Dorie Lennox. Many of the characters from the first book are back, along with the tight plots and fast paced action that kept the reader guessing in 'One O'Clock Jump'. Can Dorie stay out of jail and out of trouble long enough to do her client's bidding?

I hope that Lise McClendon is already working on her next Dorie Lennox book. There is still a lot I want to know about this character. I also really enjoy the early 1940s setting and the fact that the action takes place in my hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. This is a real winner of a book and a definite "5"!

What an inspiring book. The facts and history of our country are extraordinary. I could have never lived as Margaret lived, what a strong woman. She was also a quilter, which I find important, since I am also! It was inspiring to read in a diary format. It seemed so real.

I enjoy a good, off-the-beaten-trail type of western-adventure story that rings true and upholds the tradition of good over evil. The characters come to life on the first page and refuse to fade into the sunset even after you put the book down. This is an enjoyable tale--one of the best I've read lately. But you should read THREE ACROSS TEXAS first for this one is the sequel and while it stands alone, you'll find greater pleasure in it after reading TEXAS.

I BEGAN READING THIS BOOK TWO DAYS AGO. SO FAR I HAVE HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH HALF OF IT. THIS BOOK IS VERY INTERESTING AND KEEPS YOUR WANTING TO KNOW MORE. IT FEEDS THE HUNGER FOR KNOWLEDGE THAT AT LEAST I CRAVE. SO IF YOUR INTO HISTORY AND YOU WANT SOMETHING TO FEED YOUR BRAIN THIS BOOK IS A MUST.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

This book was inturiging, and totally worth 5 stars. It made me remember playing on the court with my friends.It made me remember the big ball, dribbiling on the ground, and to think that James Naismith invented it all!

It was an excellent book. I am a freshman in high school and I absolutely loved it. It had a love story mixed in with historical fiction. I would recommend this book to anyone who will sit down to enjoy a good book.

An outstanding read! This book is the perfect resource for any "diehard" Chiefs fan. Warpaths covers the K.C. Chiefs from the troubled beginnings of the AFL, to the present day regime under Gunther Cunningham. It covers plenty of history on how Lamar Hunt began the AFL with the Texans in Dallas, to how the Chiefs came to be in K.C. Warpaths has plenty of coverage of most of the prominent players who have ever played for the Chiefs in the their 40 year history. Also detailed are the coaches who have coached for this outstanding franchise. There are more vintage photos of "old" and "new" Chiefs than you can count. I thoroughly enjoyed Warpaths, and would recommend it to not only an avid Chiefs fan, but also an AFL hisorian.

An amazing collection of imagery and information. I couldn't put it down. Top notch!

This book is a must for any KSU fan. It's triva stems from the days when KSU was lucky to win a game to the present and KSU's rise on the national stage. This is a perfect gift for any KSU football fan and is perfect for disscussion on those long bowl trips. This is a great book
