Monteith's Mountains is a suspenseful, powerful and arousing read, holding you by plot, character, and the inspiring beauty of its southern Appalachian Settings. Once you start, you probably won't put it down. . . . Played out in the Great Smoky Mountains . . . at a time when this remarkable region is experiencing its own environmental horror, the central villian/victim's own ravaging destruction of life and innocence seems . . . parallel.
Howard Dorgan, Past President of the Appalachian Studies Association and the author of four books on Appalachian Culture.
This is a taut thriller, exploring the parallels between love and loss, reconciliation an destruction, hope and regret. Each character is fully developed, leaving no doubt as to why they act the way they do. Skip Brooks does an excellent job of interweaving the various stories, and rewards the reader with a dramatic and unexpected finish.
Alice Logsdon, The Historical Novels Review
Monteith's Mountains is a dramatic portrait of the Great Smoky Mountains and their people. Skip Brooks captures both the voices of mountain people and the dramatic landscape of their beloved Smokies in a haunting tale.
