HOLLY BARKER NOVELS ARE QUICK AND EASY TO READ. HAVE ALWAYS LOVED STUART WOODS BOOKS AND AM NOW READING SOME FOR THE SECOND TIME.

I came here to see if maybe this book is going to get any better toward the middle. In order to stay awake, I had to lay it down about the time Holly encounters the dog. ORCHID BEACH is flat, even the sentence structure is monotonous, the female protagonist worse than wooden, the dialogue grade-school level, the facts dealt out like driving directions from a kind, courteous, accurate 7-11 clerk. So I asks myself, is it me? Am I jaded at my age? And I comes here to see what others think, and to find out how this author even got published once, let alone how he got famous and successful and stuff. You figure that if a novel is published, has a price on it and everything, it meets some standard of readability. But it doesn’t. So I’ll pitch in by tapping out this unkind one-star review, which might affect its overall rating and thereby spare a few others. *YAWN*

A few years ago, I read a suspense mystery by Stuart Woods about a town submerged in a lake. It was great! I recommend readers “new to Stuart Woods” go find that one, and skip ORCHID BEACH.

This was the best book I have read by Stuart Woods. I really enjoyed Holly and Daisy and I’m looking forward to reading Orchid Blues and I hope it is as good as Orchid Beach.

I’VE NEVER BEEN INTERESTED IN READING MYSTERY BOOKS. STUART WOODS HAS DEFINITELY CHANGED MY MIND. ORCHID BEACH WAS THRILLING AND VERY DETAILED. I FELT AS IF I WAS ON THE ORCHID POLICE FORCE HELPING HOLLY SOLVE THE UNEXPECTED MURDERS. I WILL CONTINUE TO READ OTHER BOOKS BY STUART. HE IS A NEW AUTHOR ON MY BOOK LIST.

I WONDERED IF THIS BOOK COULD BE AS GOOD AS THOSE FEATURING STONE BARRINGTON. I WASN’T DISAPPOINTED. I LOVED HOLLY AND DAISY AND ALL THE SUPPORTING CAST. I HOPE STUART FEATURES THESE CHARACTERS IN ANOTHER BOOK. ALTHOUGH STONE WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE, HOLLY AND DAISY ARE RUNNING A CLOSE SECOND. I RECCOMEND THIS BOOK TO ALL CUSTOMERS THAT COME INTO MY BOOK STORE.
