Read what critics are saying about the new mystery book One Deadly Sister:

"If you enjoy mysteries that keep your mind guessing and racing until the very end, you don't want to miss this story."

"First time author Rod Hoisington has spun an excellent mystery story that provides a plot full of twists, surprises, an array of colorful characters, and even a dash of humor. The raw Reid brother and sister duo subplot that springs into action in the first pages leaving readers wondering what is going on, is simultaneously spinning along with the crazy, yet mysterious primary murder plot, which is well formed and keeps readers captivated while the entire story quickly unfolds.
 
Readers will undoubtedly become hooked to this story as did this reviewer, and will look forward to more dynamic stories from Mr. Hoisington in the future."

"(Stayed up) 'til the wee hours of the morn', coz I was busy reading a quite interesting novel entitled One Deadly Sister by Rod Hoisington."

- DelGal’s blog

“...I just opened the book and could not stop reading till I realized that I'd already spent 5 minutes of my working time getting engrossed in your book!”

- Vikram Narayan, fReado.com

“...The mystery plot is well developed, there are an ample number of colorfully drawn suspects, and the secondary characters are delightful. No doubt the first in a series, One Deadly Sister is a terrific opening chapter for this pair of amateur sleuths.”

"New Author is Elmore Leonard Clone"

"...If this story line does not get your full attention, then you need to check your pulse.
As the plot evolves, the kinds of colorful characters that populate Elmore Leonard novels are effectively introduced to the reader. Politics, real estate investments and the inadequacies of a small town police force put the story into a roller coaster trajectory. It soon becomes clear that the arrest was made based solely on the high profile of a single victim, a potential gubernatorial candidate. The arrest is further complicated by the fact that the local prosecutor has designs on a possible run for the U. S. Senate.
 
Surprises are revealed in the final chapters, as more deceit and double-crossing are uncovered.I, for one, can hardly wait for the publication of the next Rod Hoisington new mystery book."

- P. A. Lavins, Book Critic (Washington, D. C.)

"...A clever plot enfolds, firmly supported by interesting characters. If you like mysteries, you’ll enjoy this one. No loose ends."

- Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers

"The author, Rod Hoisington has definitely taken you on a ride of twists and turns with this book titled "One Deadly Sister." It's a read that keeps on giving with who set up who in a wild tailspin.  ...I found this book entertaining and I'm sure you will too. I imagine we'll see more of Rod Hoisington in the future...he has a good start with me!"
