When I pick up a book to read, it has to grab me right from the start. Elude did not disappoint! I knew from the beginning I would want part 2 and I should have ordered it with part 1. Now, I must wait for it to arrive and I can’t wait to get it. I am a huge Stephen King fan and Derek ranks up there with him! I will be ordering more of his books you can be sure of that. – Amazon Review

First time read by this author. I thought it had a great original plot and the characters were believable. It grabbed me from the beginning right through the end. In fact, it was so good, I immediately purchaser the next book in this series. – Amazon Review

I very much enjoyed this crime thriller. There is so much mystery and suspense packed into this novel. The reader is constantly left wondering when the next crime will occur, who the murderer is, and if Vincente will be able to clear his name. The characters were well-developed, and the author manages to hook you right from the very beginning. I will be on the look out for the second book to add to my summer reading list. – Amazon Review
