Reviews for Mysterious Valley:

 

“J. McGrath is knowledgeable about all kinds of subjects, whether it is flying aircraft; the military; guns; and the Napa Valley. McGrath does a great job of enlarging the character of Maggie Goss, who has become more confident, skilled and assertive in this story. Maggie has friends in high places, and what she discovers plaes her at the highest echelon of government as an F.B.I. operative. McGrath places Maggie in the middle of a nasty coup attempt and gives her no slack. She has to prove herself and does just that with distinction. McGrath’s plot is jammed packed; his characters are well wrought; and the backdrop is stunning. MYSTERIOUS VALLEY is a fun and riveting read that is just right for the beach!” —Shelly Glodowski; Midwest Book Review

 

“J. McGrath obviously did a lot of research for this book. It pays off because ‘Mysterious Valley’ is rich in detail about flying, lasers, military response, guns FBI and my personal favorite, wineries. His character Maggie Goss is just that—a ‘character’, a person you would definitely want to be on the right side of the law when around. This is a great book for mystery lovers and I certainly hope that this is not the last we have heard of Maggie Goss!” —Cherie Fisher; Reader Views

 

“… McGrath uses all the elements of intense drama, political power struggle, raw emotions, and international conflict to draw the reader into theis compelling suspense thriller….McGrath has found a good balance of technical savvy with saucy naiveté. He has created likeable, believab le characters, and uses their fast paced dialog to move the plot forward. Familiar California landmarks add a dimension to the authenticity and plausibility (of) the events being portrayed….Maggie Goss is on her way to becoming a contender as a favorite in the amateur mystery genre.” —Richard R.
