4.0 out of 5 stars Great "summer style " read!
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2013
My father was one who always enjoyed a good mystery novel, a concept that he tried to pass on to me. Once I started reading this book, I understood why he loved mysteries, as the book is very gripping.

I started this book on Vacation at Disney World . While the kids were going crazy all over, I just wanted to open a book and relax.

The story of Lance Carter, and his, at first very hesitant desire to help his client, was an attention grabber. There were no low points in the book. Lance was described in such detail that I imagined I could meet him on the street .I also imagined that he would be someone I personally would punch in the face for his constant cocky bravado. At any rate, for any book to make me feel those emotions means that the book has the character description that makes me WANT to read more.

The novel had twists and turns and there were some points that you KNEW were going to happen, just because that is the way that most stories are written. However they do not taint the greatness of the story.

As far as negatives go, the only negative I had was geographical location. I have been to Philadelphia, but so many distinct locals were listed that it was a challenge in my mind to "map" where I was and where the protagonist and his associates were going. Had I not been in a spot with limited Internet access I might have drawn up a map to understand the story of location as it really is the secondary protagonist of the novel.

If you are looking for a nice read that draws you in and makes you WANT to finish the book... this is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Home run for Bruce Sarte
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2012
Author Bruce Sarte returns to us with a second installment in his Detective Lance Carter series and he returns with a bang. Reading The Insider's Story was both a thrill ride and a geography lesson. Sarte has a gift of describing each setting that makes his readers want to plan a road trip. Its Sarte's ability to deliver a descriptive story that is non stop from start to finish that keeps this reviewer wanting for Sarte's next story. That said Insider's Story didn't disappoint. The characters were believable. The story, while in a modern setting, again gives readers a chance at rekindling a love for an older mystery style that today's authors seem to lack.

Sarte's Lance Carter is, as I said concerning Philadelphia Story, reminiscent of Detective Phillip Marlow, but with this second installment Lance Carter develops much more character depth. The Insider's Story further establishes Bruce Sarte as a top notch author and leaves me wanting more from this series. Is it the perfect Detective story? It's about as close as one can get without getting their own detective's license and working the biggest case of their life.

As a side note.. I wanted a Turkey and Swiss from Old City throughout the book thanks to Mr. Sarte.. Philadelphia is a little out of my driving range..If I were less honorable I would deduct a star for making me want a sandwich I can't get my grubby little paws on. As it stands, I am honorable and grudgingly give Insider's Story 4.5 stars out of 5.
