I recently read A Deadly Exchange and was captured in the first chapter. I was unable to put the book down. The book was alive, I just became a part of the adventure. The protagonists seemed like they were my neighbors. When they began their long awaited vacation on their new yacht they, as well as I, never dreamed of the potentially deadly events that would begin almost immediately after they set sail. The twists and turns in this story kept me on the edge of my chair. I was amazed at the emotions I experienced during this mystery thriller . The writing skills, creativity, and imagination of this author make this book a must read. There is so much reality entwined with the fiction that it is difficult to remember it is fictional story. This book would make an outstanding movie. I eagerly look forward to Ms. Staffords next novel.

Stafford's way of telling the story makes it an interesting journey; a nice job well worth the read. Hope it becomes a series of Alex and Matt's adventures!

At last! Stafford has written a tightly-plotted thriller that is simultaneously engrossing and plausible (a rare combination these days). The plot moves swiftly with many turns and surprises, yet the character development does not suffer. In fact, the action is so well-paced and believable that the reader learns much from the reactions of the central characters without explicitly being told. The entire package is a fun ride, but Stafford doesn't talk down to the reader. Therefore, I can't call it a "guilty pleasure." A Deadly Exchange is literature of the first stripe.
