 good story, bad editing. August 8, 2008
I have to agree with another reviewer about his overuse of the first names of the main characters. No one in speaks like that in real life. It was extremely irritating and detracted from the story line. His overuse of cliches was also annoying. Some one was always " winking" at another person! It seems as if he needed fill his book with triteness to make it longer. It had good potential but I was very disappointed in the book. He needs to find a new proofreader.
 Superb thriller July 15, 2008

Life changed in an instant for Karen Friedman. An explosion in New York has left her husband, Charlie, dead and Karen now has to cope with her grief while raising their two children. But things aren't as they seem... on the same day as Charlie's death, a hit and run accident leaves a young man dead, with a note leading Lieutenant Ty Hauck to Karen. Ty isn't the only one asking questions, and Karen soon finds that the situation is escalating as everything she knows and everyone she loves may be at risk. Can Karen and Ty uncover the truth?
Wow, Andrew Gross has written a page turner for sure! I had to resist sneaking a peek at the end to see how everything would turn out as Mr. Gross keeps the reader constantly on edge. This is definitely one of those books you just can't put down once you start.
The character development is superb. Karen's pain seems so real that it was hard not to feel her pain. Her grief rips through the pages and reaches into the soul of the reader. Ty's pain is also very real, although not as recent and therefore not as searing. Andrew Gross does a beautiful job at showing that time does ease grief although the scars that remain behind may always be there, just not as openly as when grief is fresh.
The storyline about money and the evil it can cause is as old as time itself. However, Andrew Gross makes it seem fresh and smoothly makes ties to the current day events in a thought provoking manner. As the story unfolds, Andrew Gross offers a glimpse of just how far some people will go... and it's a scary glimpse!
THE DARK TIDE is a superb thriller. Andrew Gross offers up a thoroughly satisfying read!

From the first chapter you are totally hooked - it was engaging from the start and never stopped. A must read for any fan of suspense!
Unexpected plot twists June 25, 2008
This is the second novel Andrew Gross has written on his own. He's normally partnered with James Patterson. His books are well written, the only problem is you read them so fast and need to wait so long for the next one.
