Product Description
Holly's wedding festivities are shattered-by murder-and Holly vows to find the culprits. With nothing to go on but the corpse of an innocent bystander, Holly discovers evidence that leads her into the midst of a clan whose members are as mysterious as they are zealous. Holly's father, Ham, a retired Army chief master sergeant, is her ticket into their strange world. What he finds there boggles the mind-and draws Holly, Ham, and Holly's Doberman Daisy into a whirlpool of crazed criminality from which even the FBI can't save them.

Quick Read August 30, 2010
Novel Reader (Dyer, IN)
This next book in the Holly Barker series was a quick read, I read it in a day. I was really disappointed that Woods' already killed off a good character, Holly and Jackson were so great together. I enjoy the series so far and have downloaded on my Kindle the next books for this series.
 So Sloooow!!
Reviewer: Thriller Lover August 16, 2009
Made a big mistake with this one I tried to take it seriously. Explosive start and a really bang-up ending, but in between I thought I'd fall asleep. As per the last Holly story, little character development, inflated and over-the-top plot. What are the chances that a small town police chief would be involved in TWO world conspiracies within a year, or ever? Woods also still is bad at writing women. I'll give him one more chance in book 3, but if that one isn't any better, I'm done. Daisy is still the best character in the book.

Grabs your attention from page one!! Concise writing, good flow of events. Believable - well, most of it but it is fiction, after all!! I feel you can't go wrong with Stuart Woods for an enjoyable read.
 Not up to to par, skip this one January 7, 2007

Light reading, rather boring, poor character development, defintiely not in line with his other writing.

I was so excited after reading "Orchid Beach" to read part two of the Holly Barker Novels "Orchid Blues". The first 10 chapters were good and kept me interested, however, after that this book just dragged on and on and on. I mean I thought the novels were about Holly Barker not her father Ham. This book focused more on Ham and him investigating a group of individuals than it did on Holly and her investigative skills. I hope this book doesn't deter me from reading other Holly Barker novels. There were some pretty good points in the book though, some parts I actually really enjoyed, esepcially how Mr. Woods tied in Stone Barrington to this particular story. I loved that! Other than that I felt like this book was a really long read for me and I'd actually have to say it bored me most of the time. I have the next book Blood Orchid, I do hope its a much better book than this one. I'll give the series another chance.
