What Readers have to Say
Reva Stern has again outdone herself in her third work of fiction, The Prescott Journals. She takes us on an exhilarating roller coaster ride that sends you hurtling through the realm of the imagination at the very moment you think the ride is going to stop. The heroine, a high-powered journalist, descends deeper and deeper into a sewer of cynicism, brutality, and blatant racism when she mistakenly thinks that she has reached a dead end in her attempt to pin charges on an obnoxiously narcissistic developer.
Ms. Stern creates characters riddled with complexities and contradictions to the point that you can easily identify with them as full-fledged human beings. Her dialogues, by turns witty, sharp like needle jabs, vibrating with discreet tenderness, or just plain entertaining, fairly jump off the page into one's lap. Her experience as a stage director has obviously served her well. By all means, get a copy of The Prescott Journals with all deliberate speed.

I read the novel, The Prescott Journals, slowly, so I could savour the fascinating twists, turns and nuances. Sarah Berman, a budding journalist, was not only investigating an ugly current crime, she was also relentlessly digging into a horrific cold-case crime that had begun to creep out from its hidden past. The Prescott Journals is a gripping and shocking, who-done-it.

I’ve finished your book and need to say: If “Literature is a realm without boundaries”…(as has already been said by someone I consider very bright)…your amazing effort is certainly proof. You take us from hunch to decision…through a labyrinth of clues…to what proves to be sinister. Most fascinating is Sarah’s determination to throw aside the danger, and plow through. Plucky lady.
