The
Landlord

“This novel indeed takes exciting twists and keeps one guessing and I'll readily admit that I couldn't put it down. I did not get lost on the first few pages, just curious to keep going so I could meld it into the storyline. As I recall, rape and molestation came up as possibilities, but were refuted. We have a view from the author of real time heroes . . . the K-9 dog, the down and out loser who learns to redeem himself and works hard to overcome his past. We have the sweet police officer who loves his dog and genuinely cares about his community. He portrays children as INTELLIGENT and redeeming individuals. He shows the love of family. In the meantime, his story is heartbeat thrilling and it flows extremely well. Never once did I have to flip back through pages or chapters to try to figure out WHO a character was. The end is astounding and the clues are there if you're smart enough to think them through. Outstanding mystery thriller with an enchanting touch of Godliness. Just enough to touch the soul and make you thankful that you can relate to those emotions as well. This book would make an excellent movie. Looking forward to Ken's next achievement.”

“It was a delight to find a book that I couldn't put down. I was even more pleased to read one that didn't drag me through the gutter or into everyone's bed. It was refreshing to meet people of action who were able to have values, and people of value who were ready to take action! I was held by the action and the mystery, and can't wait to read another. I'd definitely rate the book with 5 stars. For me it was even more fun to have had it take place in Utah. We moved here about 7 years ago and love it. Utah certainly provides some unique local characteristics and circumstances as the setting for a story.”

“The Landlord is the best suspense novel I have read in a long time. From the first page to the last it leaves your heart pounding and has you sitting on the edge of your seat. Mr Merrell introduces each character in a way that you feel you know them on a personal level or at least say i've met him/her before and some you pray you never meet. He keeps the suspense right down to the last page and leaves you wanting more. I am looking forward to other books by Ken Merrell. What an exciting movie The Landlord would make. You can't get enough of this book.”

“If you want to sit on the edge of your seat just to see what happens next, this is the book for you.It is a lttle hard getting into the story, but once you get hooked watch out.You are right there helping Officer Rick Stacy and his dog Sig find the answers to catch th bad guys.There twists and turns through out and it is great fun to see if you are correct in the end.”

“I can honestly say, I loved this book. I began reading it at 11:30 am and finished it at 11:00 pm, I couldn't put it down. For a first time writer, I was thrilled to see the talent between those pages. I live in a small town and we have a book club and this was our January read, since we got the book for free at the TCBY in Easley, SC., we all were thrilled that it was so good. It was filled with intrigue, suspense, spirituality and romance. It was a wonderful read, thank you Ken!”
