"I am not one to read a lot of murder mysteries but a friend suggested I read it. Wow, I could not put it down and really enjoyed the twists and turns. There are, like most murder mysteries, hints along the way but for me personally, I only noticed one, until I got close to the end. That makes it a really good read for me. For a first book for this author, I thought the author did a great job to keep my attention. I could see this book as a movie but, would it be as good as the book? Hmmmm."

"The Blackstone Project is a fast moving murder mystery that holds your attention right up to the last exciting page. The author's descriptive scenes and attention getting vocabulary hold you captive as the story progresses. The greatest problem I had was putting it down wondering how it would end. The ending was a complete, mind-boggling surprise."

"As an avid reader and lover of mysteries and thrillers, The Blackstone Project was amazing!
I love the classic Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie as well as the newer John Grisham and Dan Brown books and The Blackstone Project is right up there with them! I was completely captured very soon into the book - always a good sign. The plot twists and character development were first class. I felt like I really knew each of the characters personally and the plot twists just added to the intrigue. I could easily picture this as a movie and I can't wait to read the second in the series!!!"

“If you like murder mysteries and psychological thrillers, you'll love The Blackstone Project. The arc of the mystery is fast-paced, you can cut the suspense with a knife, and the plot twists kept me guessing until the satisfying conclusion. I felt connected to the main characters, Sarah and Dave, who have great chemistry. I relished despising the nasty characters that turn up along the way. I marvelled at how the author describes the scenes inside the women’s prison with such detail. In the spirit of full disclosure, I read and helped edit early versions of the first few chapters, but it was great to read the whole book cover-to-cover. I thoroughly enjoyed Dalia Rahm's first novel and look forward to the sequel.” Wendy Taylor, Toronto

“Thank you very much for an exciting, can’t put down mystery and adventure in Farnworth County. Enjoyed Dave and Sarah’s interactions in the criminal justice system and corrections department with corruption, betrayal and no trust. Who is Sarah Blackstone? Kept guessing until the end of the story. Will Dave and Sarah find love? What’s next? Look forward to future Dave and Sarah stories.” Terri, Toronto
