Enjoyed this improbable mystery from Carsten Stroud. The dialog was entertaining and so was the story. I found the ending unsatisfying and difficult to understand, but then the book's charm is that it is an improbable southern gothic type of mystery!!

Niceville is a scary,exhilarating ride! I loved every minute of it! Rainey Teague is one frightening little boy and his world will keep you keep you reading until the wee hours. A bit reminiscent of Dean Koontz in intensity and so entertaining. Carsten Stroud, Hats off to you,I am a new fan!

Hang on for a wild ride in a small town called Niceville, state unknown ( definitely Southern). The story begins with the mysterious disappearance of a ten year boy , and a bank robbery. In the space of 36 hours, twenty lives are disastrously affected , and people who should be upholders of the law........aren't. Both natural and supernatural , good and evil, are at work here. Sometimes it's difficult to tell who's who. Though tense and exciting, it"s a little too violent for me. If you like murder, suspense, and a breathtaking pace, this is the book for you.

by Steve B. (Spring, TX) Niceville Is Not A Nice Place
Niceville is a novel that has many characters, plots and subplots. It deals with the real world and the shadow world. There are a lot of unsavory characters and a few likeable characters. All of this adds up to a novel that has something for everyone but not a whole lot for me. There are so many characters that I had a hard time following them.
The story is sometimes gripping and suspenseful but there were times when I was on the verge of giving up on the task of finishing it.

if you are a fan of early Stephen King or Peter Straub, you will enjoy this book. Well-written, with engaging characters and a plot that kept me reading well into the night, I would recommend this for a lazy day in the hammock or on the beach. Just beware the chills the book will bring...

I enjoyed this story, told from multiple characters about a long-ago disappearance, cop killings, a bank robbery, and family. There is alot going on here and it took me a while to get into the story but once there, I didn't want it to end. A little thriller, a little horror, a little humor make for a good read.
A very large book - in number of pages and in content - and every page worth reading. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and her first book on the...
