“Lost in the Ivy” has been out for a few weeks here at Eckhartz Press, and it’s being very warmly received. For instance, the author of “Wrigley Field: The Unauthorized Biography” and “Wrigley Field: THE LONG LIFE AND CONTENTIOUS TIMES OF THE FRIENDLY CONFINES”, Stuart Shea, described “Lost in the Ivy” this way:
“Randy Richardson’s Lost in the Ivy expertly captures the weirdness and excitement of the streets that the Chicago Cubs—baseball’s weirdest and most exciting franchise—call home. And aside from being a terrific “I’ve been there” walk through Wrigleyville, it’s a cracking murder mystery to boot!”
So true, Stu, so true.
We’ve been getting lots of e-mails and requests wondering when “Lost in the Ivy” would be available as an e-book, and that day has finally come! You can pick it up for your Kindle, by going to Lost in the Ivy’s page on amazon. You’ll notice it’s already rated 4.8 out of 5 stars, with reviews like this…
“Though based in a comfortable setting for Chicago familiar readers (bars, Cubs, Honker’s Ale and a very, very large hole in the ground), Lost in the Ivy folds in intriguing characters and steamy romance to keep the reader on the edge as the mystery slowly unfolds. A great read further demonstrated by the amount of sleep I skipped to read it…”
“This is a great mystery. The story is suspenseful and it keeps you guessing. Like the other reviewers, I found it hard to put the book down. The writer does an excellent job of helping you visualize the settings and the characters. I love the Cub innuendos (i.e. reporter Grace Marks). Great book for the avid Cubs fan—I know there are a lot of you out there! When is the movie coming out? John Hughes can direct and I see John Cusack as Charley.”
“This book has it all, a love story, murder mystery and even sports trivia. I loved the way the story began with the judge in the chamber, and then flowed through to the big scene at the courthouse. The characters introduced in the beginning were very well developed as the book went on. The best part was that I had no inkling until the last chapter, who was actually doing what to whom. A true mystery and expertly written. I would reccomend this book to all of my friends, whether they are sports fans or not. A truly great read!”
