Review for COLORED FLOODLIGHTS 

 

"Colored Floodlights was an intriguing and engaging novel that covered a wide span of interesting events. From the war, to the Wall Street protests, to a carjacking, a shooting, a marriage in shambles, and even a house fire, there was always something happening that kept me glued to my Kindle. I was never bored and thought the story was easy to get lost in. The characters felt authentic and the dialogue believable." (5 stars).

Drury's style is economical and direct. The characters are interesting and remain with you after finishing the book. The plot moves quickly and surely to a definitive conclusion. I'm looking forward to his next novel.

I really love reading mystery novels but having spent some time in Annapolis, Maryland and having experienced a few hurricanes along the East Coast, I decided to give this book a try. It is one of those books that grabs you right away as a Category 5 storm is moving towards Ocean City, Maryland. In a very compelling story, we follow Cecil Clemenzi from boyhood to a somewhat mentally unstable middle aged man. He decides to take revenge against the wrong person when he is financially ruined as a young man by a fellow trader on the trading floor in New York. This fellow trader, Kevin Kepler, is a former mercenary and arms dealer and way out of Cecil's league. Once Kepler realizes that Cecil is the one who hired people to go after his family, he turns things around and goes after him. Cecil then takes off by himself, leaving his family behind,and ends up in Laramie, Wyoming to start a new life. Cecil's short time in Laramie comes to an abrupt halt when he decides to return home, where he is ultimately pursued and captured by Kepler. I really liked the characters in this book, even the minor ones like Kepler's daughter Virginia and her rescuer and therapist, Mike Chandler. Although it is not really a mystery novel, it moves very quickly and is full of suspense and action. I would love to see this book made into a movie as it would be really exciting to see this story on the big screen.

 5.0 out of 5 stars A great read and quite a debut!

Frank Drury's An Empty Sky was a page turner. I was hooked at the opening chapter. Sharply delineated characters, especially Clemenzi (my favorite), crisp dialogue, tight plot, and suspenseful. Don't want to say more for fear of giving something away. Just enjoy, fellow readers!

 5.0 out of 5 stars A Fast-Paced Ride!

The title proves prescient in "An Empty Sky" as the characters move past the initial storm-induced drama to a place where they seek clarity but often find emptiness instead. Author Frank Drury moves along the action with brisk dialogue and plotting as the story of Kevin Kepler, his daughter Virginia, and a rich cast of characters unfolds. I look forward to seeing more from Frank Drury.

 5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating and thought-provoking read! Fleeing and starting over are not things easily done, and makes "An Empty Sky" a fascinating and thought-provoking read.    Midwest Book Review
