I have read his books before. The Primal Fear Trilogy, and Eureka. Mr. Diehl never failed to to write a very exciting and riveting book. I totally loved 7 ways to die. I am sorry we can have no more Micah Cody books, or any more forthcoming from William Diehl. This book is a very rare book. It reminds me of the Nelson DeMille type books, and the mystery thrillers of the 60's and 70's. He will be sorely missed.

Seven Ways to Die Reader's Review
By Mary C
Loved
this book. It brought me to places I'd never been, the back alleys of
Manhattan, the wilds of Central Park, not to mention the wolves and Nez
Perce reservation. I didn't know murder could be such a sick work of
art, and respect the detectives who analyze it and bring the offenders
to justice.
The Last From One of The Greats
By Larry D. Thompson "Larry" (Houston TX)
When you write thrillers
yourself, it's hard not to see the thread beneath the tapestry. But I read this
one without being able to tell where Bill Diehl's distinctive voice faltered,
so well did Atchity capture it and continue the story to the spectacular ending
without a hitch. If you are into serial killers and police who track them down,
this one will take you to places you've never been--because this one is truly
unique.
Delicious Images That Peel Away the Mystery and Leave You Wanting More
By Milton lyles (UPLAND, CALIFORNIA, US
William Diehl is a master story teller. His writing is beautifully layered with rich visual images and a sense of mystery that carries the book's artful, insightful, hero, Cody, swiftly to its seventh way to die
Awesome thriller! Great writing. Want more from this author!
By Laurie A. Dressman
This isn't usually the kind
of book I read, and it was a little racy for me in spots, but when I saw the
rave review on Nancy Grace CNN, I thought I'd download it and take a chance.
Well, my face was red off and on, but I was sucked right into the meticulous
procedures of the NYPD homicide detectives trying to put an end to these
murders "by the book." It makes you look at things through the eyes
of the police and notice things you'd never otherwise notice, not to mention
the cast of great characters whose lives you get entwined with as the pages
turn. I hated to see it end! if you like excitement, you'll love this book.
Fascinating Book - Reader's Review
This was a fascinating book & it made me more than a little sad to read it was W. Diehl's final writing effort. K.J. Atchity & his "team" did an admirable job of completing this book for all of us to read. The storyline & writing style are truly seamless, & it certainly lived up to the crime-thriller genre.
My only regret ... I feel a sense of loss over the fact that Micah Cody & his super-talented & hand-picked investigative team of characters will not be a part of my reading future.
Reader's Review: Great read. Fast paced yet not forced.
I wont spoil anything. All I'm going to say is it's a great read and I look forward to reading more of his books.
Reader's Review: Excellent book
By K. L. Christensen (Virginia, United States)
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and was filled with twists and intrigue that I wasn't expecting. So glad Atchity decided to finish what Diehl started.
Reader's Review: Bill Diehl Does It Again!
INTRIGUING THRILLER!
by O_Lan
What a great read!
William Diehl was an extraordinarily gifted storyteller and his final thriller will not disappoint.
Bill introduces yet another fascinating protagonist in Micah Cody detailed and enigmatic in a way that only Bill Diehl can create a character! The members of his special task force are equally absorbing, (including Charley, the German Shepherd he rescues after 9-11), as they get caught up in a series of unnerving murders in New York City ... Nothing is as it seems!
Highly Recommended - you must check it out
I couldn't put this book down. It's the first Diehl thriller I've read, and I found it a gripping page turner, worthy of his reputation. I'm so sorry we lost him!

Eyes of a first time reader
While I have been aware of William Diehl's impressive reputation as an author and the many readers who are fans of his books, this is my introduction to the writer. I enjoyed the book tremendously and felt that it was exactly what the book led me to expect and what the author was trying to accomplish. It’s well plotted, fast paced and very enjoyable with enough surprising details before the case is solved to keep the reader's interest. The thing that I appreciated about the story was the author's ability to add enough complexity so that even when the clues were sufficient to lead the reader in the general direction of the solution, you still wanted to learn how all the various threads were interrelated. This is a very fast read, and should be enjoyed by long time Diehl fans as well as first time readers such as myself. The details and relationships of the characters are as important to keeping your interest as is the major story line. 7 Ways to Die was so entertaining that I definitely plan to read some of the earlier works by the author.
Terrific, edge of your seat, read
by BRudman
This is a seamless, taut and wonderfully disturbing thriller that only Bill Diehl could have conceived. Unfinished at the time of Bill's death, Ken Atchity and Michael Simpson have remained faithful to Bill's vision and delivered one of the finest Diehl novels yet. Those of you who have followed Bill's work, from Sharkey's Machine to Primal Fear to Eureka, will not be disappointed. Others who read this first will be driven to go back and enjoy Bill's nine prior novels.
