MIKE STEWART
The Dallas Morning News called Mike Stewart's debut novel, "Sins of the Brother," a "novel of intelligence and authenticity [that will] please the most discriminating mystery reader." The Washington Post and Chicago Tribune published similarly glowing reviews, while Kirkus Reviews called it "the most accomplished debut of the season, an obvious Edgar contender, and a serious threat for the title of Compleat Suspense Novel."
Following on the heels of a successful debut, Stewart continued to garner praise for two more entries in the Tom McInnes Mystery Series -- "Dog Island" and "A Clean Kill" -- as well as a standalone suspense novel titled "A Perfect Life."
In reviewing "Dog Island," the Detroit Free Press wrote, "Stewart is a deft scene setter, whether the setting is a tasteful summer home or a squalid bar..., the plot races along, as wild as it is believable." Following publication of the third entry in the McInnes series, the Flint Journal wrote, "'A Clean Kill' is a paranoia-inducing, smart suspense novel. It's the best legal thriller of its type since 'The Firm' — but it's written better."
When Stewart took a break from Tom McInnes and Joey in his fourth novel, the Chicago Tribune raved, "Mike Stewart's 'A Perfect Life' [is] already one of my candidates for the best books of 2005.... This is a book for readers but it should also be loaded into the backpack of any young person who aspires to be a crime writer." The Birmingham News wrote, "Mike Stewart is back and, once again, it's thrilling…. 'A Perfect Life' is the kind of read that keeps you up at night. The action is fast, the writing is smart and the story is excellent."
After being consumed by other projects for the past six years, Mike Stewart is now at work on his fifth novel.
His first four books continue to be available in various formats through Amazon.com and other retailers.
