Reviewer: Marcia Hanna (Northern Michigan)
Murder on Old Mission is a thoughtful, well-layered story with beautifully drawn characters and a suspensful plot line. There is something for everyone here: courtroom drama, a love triangle, a tragic loss of life, even racial tension. This book is a 'period piece' loosely based upon an actual event. Mr. Lewis successfully takes the reader on a journey into the past with rich, descriptive language. This is a great escape read!
Murder on Old Mission Review , October 24, 2005; Reviewer: M.I. Conlon "Mike" (Michigan, USA)
Steve Lewis evokes powerful images in this suspenseful murder mystery. A definite page-turner, the pace builds with each chapter to its climatic ending. Beautifully written and character driven, this novel will appeal to all readers, not just mystery enthusiasts. This is the best book I've read all year.
Murder on Old Mission, July 18, 2005
Reviewer: L. M. Frey
Inspired to look beneath the quiet surface of a local cemetery, Lewis creates a window into the past where a turn of the century village comes to life in the midst of personal tragedy, public scandal and murder.
Filled with his descriptive gems and thorough attention to detail, this emotionally charged story develops into a living, multi-layered drama showing different perspectives of a heart wrenching situation.
Very interesting work and good reading. I also recommend his trilogy of mysteries set in Colonial times which feature Catherine Williams, mid-wife and Massaquoit, a Pequot Indian leader: The Sea Hath Spoken, The Dumb Shall Sing and The Blind in Darkness.
