“This is an exhilarating read – full of twists and turns, with real page-turner quality. The pace advances along towards a menacing, suspenseful and gripping climax. Everything becomes clear only in the final page or two. I know now that he has been compared to Harlan Coben and I can see why.”
“Deadline Vegas has the right amount of mystery and explanation to get you excited to turn the next page. The author does not hesitate to keep his foot off the gas in this thriller of a novel. Wish to give it more stars but 10/10 recommend, enjoy!”
“Want to get a fly on the wall look inside the dark arts of casinos and organized crime? Deadline Vegas is an edge-of-your-seat read that tells us among much else about the Griffin List shared between casinos on gamblers who win too much and Reverse Labouchère which at first glance doesn’t make sense.”
“Very good story, credible characters, couldn't stop reading, great finale. Everything happens so fast and is so well explained. A gem.”
“Another brilliant book by Mr Stewart. Yet again he keeps us gripped from the beginning to the very end. I don’t know how he does it but I hope he keeps on doing it! Deadline Vegas is thrilling and at times very tense. If you’ve read any of this writer’s other books you’ll know how caught up you become with his characters and this book is no exception. With so many twists and intrigue you’ll find yourself unable to put the book down until you’ve read to the very last page - because until you do you won’t really be sure how it’s all going to end.”
“Couldn't put the book down! Twists and turns kept me guessing right to the end. Recommended it to anyone who likes a well written thriller.”
“This is a cracking read from start to finish. It keeps you glued to the story throughout and moves at an exhilarating pace. I could not put the book down and finished it in one sitting. Highly recommended.”
“Deadline Vegas has joined those exceptional thrillers that one simply cannot put down until the last page is read! An intriguing insight into the world of professional gambling.”
“I have just finished Deadline Vegas! Loved it! A great read! I loved the twist at the end. I could not put it down. A proper “page turner!”
Extract from 4 out of 4 Star Review on OnLineBookClub
“With a blend of crime, thriller and mystery, this book promises to keep the readers glued to their seats from start to finish. I mean, this read is sure to be a very delightful one for its audience. I loved the way the author developed each character, not only using a third-person narrative style but also employing dialogue between characters. As a result, I was able to connect more with the personalities of each character. I was especially drawn to Dex.
The sequence of events was also excellent and ensured a well-organized plot. Additionally, I like that the author switched the pace of the book expertly, and as a result, I was able to follow the story better.
There was nothing to criticize or dislike about this book. I wholeheartedly award Deadline Vegas a perfect 4 out of 4 stars.”
