Book Reviews of The 37th Hour (Sarah Pribek, Bk 1)

This is a WOW! mystery!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the read and I'm looking forward to more by the same author! The main character is really believable.

One of the best books I've read in years! I have the next book on the way now...

A very interesting read. I will read others by this author. A good story with believable characters.

A good read. It is what I call an easy read. One that keeps your interest but is not real deep. I would recommend it.

My first book of her and it grabed me from the start - then got a little slow for a short period before it had me hooked again...looking forward to getting her nex book !

Great and suspenseful! Stories of being lost and being found by dectectives that put their whole selves into the job. Finding missing people has a method, but that method is useless when a detective goes missing...

This is Jodi Compton's debut novel. Speaking both as an avid reader and writer I can't say enough nice things about Compton's first effort. The twists and turns in this thriller fit nicely with the rollercoaster ride missing-persons investigator, Sarah Pribek embarks on in search of her missing husband. But wait, there's more! Compton's sequel - Sympathy between Humans - is equal to, or perhaps better, than 37th Hour.

Ms Compton, I'm telling anyone who'll listen, "This lady's a champ!"

Excellent book -will definitely read more by this author

good read keeps a very good pace.

first in a series - good enough that i just ordered the 2nd!

I really want her next books now. Great debut.

"She could compete with writers like John Grisham and John Lescroart. Highly recommended"....
Library Journal

I couldn't put this book down! It's a really easy read -- fast-paced and suspenseful. Truly has a twist at the end that I didn't see coming.

Easy ready, pretty good character development, held my interest...mystery lovers will enjoy.

Was a very hard read. Boring characters with no real drive behind them, I forced myself to read it all the way thru.

I enjoyed this mystery of a husband who goes missing and his wife's search for him. His wife just happens to be a missing-persons investigator.

Very good debut novel, kept my interest. I believe this is the first in a series.

An excellent book. I don't normally read mysteries, but this one was good. It takes place in Minnesota, which is where I live and they talk about places I have been.

Fun read

A first novel. A fast moving thriller.

not bad, not great, so-so

ok

excellent read

Very good, very tight mystery

Sarah Pribeck must solve the mystery of her missing husband! Thoughtful and intelligent reading. I couldn't put it down!

Sarah Pribek's husband vanishes without a trace. As a seasoned missing-person's investigator, the cop inside her knows something is wrong. The investigation takes her back to her husband's religion steeped childhood, his family, his cold cases.

More twists and turns than you'd expect. A really good read.

The revelation at the end was surprising. I would read more books from the author.

good read

A seasoned missing-persons investigator, Sarah Pribek is used to anxious calls from wives and parents, used to the innocent explanations that resolve so many of her cases. But when her husband, a fellow officer, vanishes without a trace, the cop inside her knows: something is terribly wrong. Suddenly Sarah find herself at the beginning of the kind of investigation she has made so often. But for her, this one is personal. It will take her back to the beginning, to her husband's religion-steeped childhood, his family, his cold cases-including the one horrifing case that struck them both too close to home. And as she moves further down a trail of shocking surpresies and bitter revelations, Sarah is about to discover that her worst fear-that her husband is dead-may be less painful than what she will learn next.

Has a different twist to it.

smart ,tightly written-filed with a lot of twists and turns.

Good thriller..lots of twists in the plot to keep it interesting.

I was impressed with this new author so much I have already ordered her second book which happens to also include the main caracter from this one, Sarah Pribek. The story was suspenseful, lots of twists and turns. I couldn't put it down. Jodi's characters are believable, some you like, some you want to hate..., complex adults. In any event, I can't wait to meet them again.

Good story. Very much a "who done it".

Great book! I couldn't put it down.
