Stephen, thank you for the opportunity to read your advanced copy of ‘IMPERFECT’. I was gripped very quickly and thoroughly enjoyed the way the plot unfolded. Your character development was done so well that I felt as if I really ‘knew’ each of the characters. The spice (which appeals to female readers) and humour added depth to the development of the characters, giving them life. I personally enjoyed the spunky nature of the third member of Mack’s P.I. company. Each time I thought I had it solved, a new development unfolded. which kept me guessing throughout. I was reluctant to put it down because I just had to find out what happened next, and I must say, the outcome was a surprise. I look forward to Mack and M’s next adventure. ‘IMPERFECT’ is a book that has something for all to enjoy and I look forward to seeing it published. Well done!

"Come into the Light" had a great hook and an unexpected finish! Can't wait to see what Mack and the gang get up to next.

Good morning Stephen. Just finished reading "At the end of the lane". This was the hardest book to put down. It grabbed me immediately, well done. The many twists and turns is what did it for me. Great story, very well done. Thanks once again for the opportunity. Sorry I took so long. I've been a little under the weather.

Admiring the time and energy you put into your blog and detailed information you offer. It's great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same unwanted rehashed information. Wonderful read! I've saved your site and I'm including your RSS feeds to my Google account.

It's a pleasure when you get an opportunity to pick up a book that grabs you quickly. Come Into The Light does just that. I was pleased to see M thrust into the spotlight with an interesting twist to the storyline. Character development was well done Stephan, made everyone more interesting. I really enjoyed the read.. Thanks again for the opportunity. Gary Hogarth

I have just finished reading the latest from Stephen, At The End Of The Lane. What an amazing book. Usually life gets in the way of my reading, but not this time! I couldn't put it down. Wow, from start to finish, it kept me engrossed all the way through. I was anticipating what was to come next as I turned the pages. I was so sure I knew how this book would end; boy I was wrong. Stephen, thank you for the privilege of being one of the first to read At The End Of The Lane.

I had the pleasure of reading Come Into The Light. What a terrific read. I know when a book really has my interest, for I see it in my mind's eye as a movie. It is well written and very intriguing. As I was on the last page, I felt a sense of disappointment it was over. I would recommend this book to all I know. Thank you so much for the entertainment Stephen Winn.

Hi Stephen, I am honoured to be once again one of the first readers of draft one of your fourth novel in the Mack & M mystery series: "At the End of the Lane". What a great story. I couldn't put it down - stayed up late to finish it! (I kept saying 'one more chapter then I'll stop' ... but I couldn't.) You did a wonderful job in your first attempt at weaving two plot lines together: lots of twists and turns. Your story made me think and ask questions and guess (several times) at 'who dunnit'. The story kept me in suspense all the way through. I think that this novel is the best one in the series so far. Can't wait to see what you come up with in number five!

Lauren Alexander January 30, 2018 I have had the very special privilege of reading all three of Stephen Winn's unpublished novels: IMPERFECT, SOMEONE DOESN’T KNOW and COME INTO THE LIGHT. What can I say about them? They absolutely need to be published! I think it would be a crime, "literally" for countless readers who love the "whodunit" genre, to not be able to immerse themselves in these novels and future stories. Stephen, you are a wonderful storyteller. Your third novel, COME INTO THE LIGHT was superb and I can hardly wait to read your fourth completed novel. Honestly, I will be the first to my feet to applaud you and the publishing company who signs you on. Thanks so much for sharing your passion for writing marvelous stories with all of us. You have a great future ahead! I consider myself a delighted and enduring fan already. My very best to you!

I just finished reading the FINAL draft of your first thriller: "Imperfect." I have to say that I had thoroughly enjoyed the first draft; but I must admit I enjoyed the final draft even more: just as much suspense, humour and a great story - but I found it was more "compact" and faster paced along with a KILLER surprise ending! Kudos, Stephen!

"Someone Doesn't Know" is a thrilling roller coaster ride of emotions and action, and a fantastic continuation of the M&M Mysteries saga. You can really see that Stephen has grown as a writer and a story teller from his first novel to his second. He's on an upward trajectory and I can't wait to see just how high he'll go with these fantastic stories!

I am honoured to be the first reader of the first draft of "Come into the Light" - book 3 in the Mack & M series. Like the two previous novels, it has everything you could want in a mystery/thriller: a fast-paced story line; suspense; thrills; humour; heroes & villains. It kept me guessing right up to the end. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for #4!

I just finished your lastest book, Someone Doesn't Know. I believe it is better than your first book. There is more Intrigue and more description about the people and places, which pulled me in, felt like I was watching the movie or as I was there. When I decided to sit and read the book it didn't take long. I found myself engrossed in the book, now I can't wait for the third book to come out.

"SOMEONE DOESN'T KNOW" has one of the most developed and gripping plots I've come across in a long time. Every novel seems to be getting better and better! I can't wait to read "COME INTO THE LIGHT"

IMPERFECT: The first novel from writer Stephen Winn, IMPERFECT has a compelling plotline that introduces the characters and setting while building a solid storyline. The murder case detailed in the novel is unique and well planned out. I'm pretty good at figuring out mysteries, actually thought I had it solved, and I actually never saw the resolution coming. That impressed me.

SOMEONE DOESN'T KNOW. WOW. I couldn't put the story down. Highly suspenseful and a must read. Enjoyed the connection with your first book, IMPERFECT. Can't wait to read your next book to see what Mac and M are up to. Well done

Stephen provided me with an advance copy of 'Someone Doesn't Know'. I greatly enjoyed the further exploration of the characters, and seeing the journeys they take. In this novel, we learn more about the dark underbelly of Boston's organized crime syndicate, and what would happen should you try to leave. Stephen employs a classic writing style, that is refreshing when coupled with modern elements.

IMPERFECT: I've read the novel 3 times. The characters of Mack and M follow a truly interesting case, and Stephen shows his prowess in developing mystery in chilling suspense. The development of the story page after page, has purpose and poise and still gives the reader some comedic breaks, but never loses the gripping plot from the introduction. Can't wait to read the next one!

With regards to Someone Doesn't Know, I must say you've hit it out of the park once more. It was a great read. Very easy to get into the story and not let go until the end. Lots of twists to peak my interest. That was enjoyable. Thanks for the opportunity to enjoy another good read.

SOMEONE DOESN'T KNOW ... Stephen, I stayed up all night to finish your story: I couldn't put it down. Lots of suspense and surprises! Fast-paced action. Can't wait for the next Mack & M adventure. Thanks for a great read!

Great story with loads of detail! It's easy to picture the ideas in my mind, and there were so many twists and turns it was hard to put down!

LAUREN A. JULY 6, 2016 I have had the distinct pleasure of reading Mr. Stephen Winn’s first novel IMPERFECT. Mr. Winn has a great future as a novelist and I am looking forward, with much anticipation, to more great books to come. Imperfect is a marvelous story, with great characters, and a very nicely crafted story line. You will want to finish this book in one sitting. Very enjoyable!

Stephen, I read your book it was a good read, the more I read the more I got involved with the characters. It was very well written. I thought I knew who the murderer was but your story twist had me fooled. I would recommend this book to others. I can't wait for your new novel to appear on book shelves.

I was given the opportunity to read an advanced copy of Imperfect. It's written in a style that hearkens back to the classic detective stories. I'm looking forward to reading the whole series!

Finished the book in a weekend. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down, I had to find out who did it. The plot twists made it a great read. Now I can hardly wait for the next one! Keep on writing!

I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of the first book Imperfect. This is a real page-turner set in modern day Boston. It's an excellent mystery with a great potential for a series. I can't wait to read the next book!

Hi Stephen, job well done. As you know I read a different genre so it took me some time to get into the story line. Once it grabbed me I could not put it down. I thought I had the plot figured out, I was wrong. Great job Gary Hogarth .

The level of detail in Winn's work immerses your senses in the sights and sounds surrounding the characters, while also making your time spent reading an educational one regarding history and detective work. Overall a very enjoyable read.

A lot of murder mysteries come in good binding and collect a lot of dust. Stephen Winn's recent work won't be needing a Swiffer any time soon...if ever.

My favorite character is Pauline. Hope you keep her in the next one. Love the nature scenes. Great job.

Very well done.......Great read, strong interesting characters and a good plot with lots of twists and turns......Cannot wait for number 2.....!!!

Stephen, Fantastic read. Could not put the book down. Had to find out who did it. Well done

Stephen, I never knew you had it in you! I thoroughly enjoyed your novel ... a real page-turner full of crime, suspense and murder - and even some comedy. can't wait for your second novel.
