A Great Summer Read! I truly enjoyed every moment of this book. The author has a real knack for description without slowing down
the pace, her characters a real and well drawn, and I loved the romance and element of mystery. Los Angeles and the tv news business
were also front and center which added a fun layer. If you want a well written, feel good book to toss in your beach bag, this is it!

Good Sam: Dete Meserve's debut novel has is all:
While first intrigued by the story behind the story, I was delighted with the depth and pacing of this novel, which is focused on good rather than evil. Good Sam is an intriguing mystery filled with enough twists and turns to keep the reader turning pages into the wee hours of the morning. I stopping reading only when my eyes refused to remain focused. Kate Bradley, Meserve’s savvy, driven local TV news reporter is compellingly real, facing real life issues. The author is obviously well-grounded in the world in which her characters live. Good Sam gives the reader an insider’s perspective of what goes on behind the scenes of TV news and the ways the media can influence our thoughts and feelings about the world around us. However, since the world we live in is not all good, Meserve gives a slice of betrayal to spice up the story and keep us guessing. But wait, it’s not all mystery, Meserve also delivers romance with plenty of heart.

I have to admit, I rarely finish a whole book, but I did this one in one sitting!
The sense of immediacy was great. There were scenes of personal risk in rescues that made me cry every time. I enjoyed the whole TV news atmosphere
It was a very satisfying finish, and I hope to see the movie.
