There are two huge reasons to read Richard Houston's first novel, A View to Die For, and their names are Jake and Fred. The protagonist, Jacob Martin, is witty, generous, sensuous, sweet - the sort of man females absolutely adore. But he's a man's man too, with an appreciative eye for women as well as a healthy love for the females in his family. He's handy, smart, loyal, and brave.  In fact, Houston builds many fabulous, complex characters in this book, even a dog, who became a "person" in my imagination. I was in love with Fred all the way through! The plot is layered, with great twists and puzzles and unexpected outcomes. I know the author is currently writing a sequel and I can't wait. I want Jake and Fred back in my life! Plus I have a feeling that Richard Houston will develop into a best-selling author as his writing matures. Get to know Jake and Fred now, so you won't be left behind in the future.
