Marilyn Meredith, Prolific Mystery Writer, Pens Glowing Review of Mike Angley’s Latest Novel, ‘Child Finder: Revelation’

LATEST REVIEW OF CHILD FINDER: REVELATION!

A fan of Mike’s writing, I read the first two books in the series, though it is not necessary to have done so to enjoy this final one in the trilogy.

There are some resemblances to the DaVinci Code in Revelation–and some very big differences.

The resemblance is that the story does center around a secret that has to do with the Catholic Church.

The difference is the hero, Patrick O’Donnell, an Air Force Special Agent, is a devout Catholic and a true believer. His faith is an important part of his life. He also has a gift that makes him the one who is chosen to go on a special and most dangerous mission to rescue kidnapped twin girls who were taken to North Korea.

Another difference is the danger Patrick finds himself in is believable as are all the action filled events described in the story.

I’m not going to give away anything, but the ending is mind-boggling and will definitely make you think.

This is a thriller that is written by someone who knows what he’s writing about and it shows. A definite page turner unlike anything you’ve read before.

—Marilyn Meredith, author of the Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery series as well as the Rocky Bluff P.D. series. Read More

The She-Rain Dossier, A Wonderful Treasure Of Information About The Book And Author Michael Cogdill

A child living as prey to an opium-addicted father, drowning in a gene-pool of lowest expectations, feels shackled for life to the tobacco farms and cotton mill poverty of 1920′s western North Carolina. Some of the only beauty he knows rises in the eyes of a girl, surviving times harder than his own. Emerging from their adolescent love, the narrative rises far out beyond that opening milieu of violence, ignorance, and language-literal religious fundamentalism. It branches toward likely the least expected figure ever in a Southern novel. Her mystery begging the question — what might have been, had an African-American infant born of scandal been placed on the arms of one of the grandest American fortunes of the early 20th Century? Raised utterly cloistered in the clefts of Appalachia, steeped in her adoptive mother’s Vassar education, classical piano, the refinements most mountain people considered as distant and alien as the stars. When that son of an opium addict happens upon her — each in uniquely desperate times — they set off the beginnings of seismic change to the worlds they’ve known. Driven by what Faulkner might call human hearts conflicted deep within themselves — the feel of it terrifying and beautiful at once. What overflows them distills to ways of life that melt the hard rocks of racism, classism, the self destruction of living down to the worst human expectations. By its contemporary end, the telling of this story has moved readers of both genders to tears of our best human possibility. I’m deeply humbled by this, and by how the story entertains with humor, the grit of real adventure, and forms of love least expected. Read More
