"Mike Mallow’s In the Morning Hour captivated me from the first chapter and kept me turning pages until the very end. I enjoyed untangling the complex web of plot twists that revolved around deceit, subterfuge, and betrayal. I liked the multi-thread plot and how Mike interlaced all the threads to explode in the jaw-dropping ending. The subtle humor was outstanding, and the adorable beagle, Mister Waggles, was a great addition to the motley cast of thoroughly developed characters. But what made this novel stand out for me was the philosophical wisdom—Eric’s viewpoint on forgiveness and Cabel’s thoughts on the use of violence to combat violence. This awesome story will appeal to adult crime fiction and action thriller fans."
