“Terrific pace, surprises galore….Move over Jack Reacher, here comes The Bricklayer.” —James Patterson There is a brand new master on the thriller scene. Noah Boyd makes a truly spectacular entrance with The Bricklayer—the first in an explosive new series featuring former FBI agent Steve Vail that recalls the #1 bestsellers of John Sandford and Lee Child. An ex-FBI agent himself, Boyd adds gritty … ex-FBI agent himself, Boyd adds gritty insider knowledge and color to this stunning novel, and the word on the street is The Bricklayer is fabulous. Kay Scarpetta’s creator, New York Times bestseller Patricia Cornwell, calls it, “Dazzling,” while Lee Child himself raves, “Non-stop action and non-stop authenticity make this a real winner.”

As an aspiring writer I found myself envious of the work that Noah Boyd put into this novel. Considering this is his first book, this story is well worthy of praise. I did however find myself wondering just how many licks it was going to take to get to the center of this mystery. Just when you think they have figured it all out, it all changes. Eventualy, you stop believing it, but I was still compelled to continue reading just to see how it finished. Overall I think this book is a must read. I am anxious to get my hands on his next story and wish I could have half the success that Noah has with his first story.
Noah Boyd keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat when reading “The Bricklayer” and ‘Agent X”!! I could NOT put these books down until I finished them. And neither could anyone I recommended these books to. They are so suspenseful and well crafted, that I could not stop reading. PLEASE, Noah Boyd, keep writing about this anti-hero.
The characters in this book leaves you wishing for another story.
This was a great read. Seemed realistic. Good plot.
Excellent book. Enjoyed the story. Good plot development.
Not exactly Jack Reacher, but close
really good read
I will more than likely read the book again in a year or two .
This is a steady adventure with plot twists and dangerous and romantic interludes!
Great pace from beginning to the end.
Hope to see more
I read this book in one day. Fell in love with the characters. A real page turner. Needless to say I could not put it down until the last page was finished at 5am.
Clean action packed book. Never knew what was going to happen next with a surprise ending. Looking forward to reading more books featuring these characters.
Fast paced, unputdownable! I am a Jack Reacher fan and this is an awesome, exciting action mystery novel.
very good
The banter back and forth between the lead characters is smart, witty, and sharp. This book was an absolute joy to read. The action kept the story moving at a good clip but paused long enough to really develop the characters. Loved this book.
Loved all the twists and turns….a fun read
Great character, very satisfying book!
Great read. I wish it was more than a two book series.
A little different take on things.
Well-written. Good charaters AND an involving plot. Suspenseful
