Book Reviews of The Dummy Line

Book Review: A wild life...mystery, thriller
Summary: 5 Stars

I just finished The Dummy Line (for the second time) and really enjoyed it. Great first novel. The charters and the various scenes were built with reality and suspense. I hated the bad guys and cheered for the good ones.

I did wonder how Bobby Cole knew how to fight so dirty. Knocking out the football stars' teeth on the bumper of the Jeep was rough. He also knew about "cut shells" and I always thought only poachers knew that trick (often used during bird season, before deer season). As a former game warden I knew that method. The authors' worldly knowledge of the "wild" shows up well in his writing and story.

Mr. Cole has a formula for success. Like the mystery thrillers from Harlan Coben and William Tapply, he has developed a character that has staying power. I also enjoy John Sandford and William Kent Krueger because of the state theme and location. Michael McGarrity has the SW theme and character, Kevin Kerney. Cole has all those elements with Jake and the south (West Point, MS). Plus he have woods wisdom and hunting knowledge.

I will be on the lookout for the next Jake Crosby novel. Good job!

Summary of The Dummy Line

Jake Crosby, a troubled stockbroker, has planned a weekend escape at his hunting camp with his nine-year-old daughter, Katy. In the middle of the night, a gang of redneck drug dealers attempts to break into the remote camp. The gang's display of heinous intentions toward Jake and Katy causes Jake to make gut-wrenching decisions.

Running for their lives, Jake and Katy take the only escape route available, which leads them deep into Alabama's Noxubee River swamp. Crazed with blood lust and demanding immediate vengeance for their own, the frenzied gang anticipates Jake's desperate moves as they stalk them throughout the night.

Jake's choices put into motion a sequence of events that threatens everyone associated with him, and an unwitting young couple who happen to be in the wrong place at the worst possible time. The Dummy Line is an action-packed suspenseful novel that will keep readers on the edges of their seats and quite possibly out of the woods at night.
ADVANCE PRAISE:
Good novels grow out of a writer's rich imagination and love for his subject, and Bobby Cole shows both in The Dummy Line. A walk through the woods will never be the same again.--Randall Wallace, New York Times Bestseller and award-winning writer-director-producer (Braveheart, Pearl Harbor, We Were Soldiers, Man in the Iron Mask

The Dummy Line is a fresh, original thriller. Like all truly good ones, once you re in, you're in and you WON'T be able to put it down as it takes you through the full gamut of emotions. It's not just a good read, it's a great escape!--Toxey D. Haas, Founder Mossy Oak Brand Camo

Bobby Cole weaves just the right amount of humor into a thrilling story that otherwise would be way too scary for me to read. The Dummy Line single-handedly eliminates the threat of hunting camps being taken over by women and children.--Jill Conner Browne, Multiple #1 New York Times Bestseller

Wow! What a book. I couldn't put it down. My heart raced and every emotion ran through me as the main character dealt with one crisis after another situations we all hope never happen. Don't read this book in a tree stand in an effort to pass the time. You'll be so involved in the story that you won't notice that big deer of a lifetime.--Will Primos, President and Founder of Primos Hunting Calls
