BLING, BLING
“This mystery story is original and interesting, with a fascinating point of view character…and even though [DeLee’s] playing in that familiar (mystery) world, he still managed to pull off a story that caught me by surprise. Wonderful stuff.” –Kristine Kathryn Rusch

“David DeLee…captures…Columbus, Ohio, perfectly in this story about a wealthy but streetwise rapper who may be at the end of his game.” –Joe Hartlaub, Bookreporter.com

FATAL DECEPTION
“…a bang-up introduction…[DeLee] can write a Hollywood-worthy car chase…” –Publishers Weekly

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
“DeLee…implements realistic dialogue and the right amount of description while pulling the reader into his well-told story.” –Lee Carey, Author of The Thin Line

FATAL TRYST
“Although “Fatal Tryst” is primarily an action-oriented crime fiction, the social commentary is timely and the message flows seamlessly through the narrative…The characters are fully developed, the setting descriptions very nicely done, and the plot moves quickly. I will be looking for more Grace deHaviland stories.” –Donna White Glaser, Author of The Enemy We Know
