"Koch is an author who has his priorities in order. First and foremost he's constructed an intriguingly complex plot. From the beginning, he pulls readers in with intense scenes of suspense. Little by little he then provides just enough information to keep them guessing as to who's pulling the strings and why. When the loose ends are eventually tied and revelations ensue, Koch still manages to add a surprise or two." --Jake Bishop, Hollywood Book Review (And Come Day's End: A Michael McKaybees Mystery)

"The contrast of what is right and what is wrong within Black's own conscience added even more to this mystery. Overall, I found Beholden: A Marlowe Black Mystery to be a five-star page turner " --Michel Violante for Reader Views
