Review I Missed

I was looking at reviews on Amazon for The Outcast Missing Someone , my first novel.

I was busy, at the time, working on The Problem at the Orphanage , so I suppose that is why I didn't notice until today. Thanks, Mary. Reposted here, from amazon.

Biesty switches POV between a handful of interesting characters and I found myself eagerly anticipating getting back into each character's mind whenever the story turned back to their POV. From the more straight forward approach of his first novel, Biesty switches gear here and constructs a Stephen King type plot line full ...
