Eagles Fly Alone Review by Lector

In his first novel, Eagles Fly Alone, Lars Trodson has delivered a new world that is at once familiar and compelling. As with most great stories, plot is the least of it (To be clear, the plot is inventive, interesting, and enjoyable). Rather, it is the telling that draws the reader in and keeps him involved. Mr. Trodson gives us Fenton, NH, a town that those of us who grew up in New Hampshire identify with readily. At the same time, it is not the town we know from our youth. It is our town as it would be today, a combination of dogged Yankee tradition battling- sometimes winning, sometimes losing- the encroachment of the twenty-first century. We harken to the recognizable selectmen's meeting and the Halloween parade while recoiling from the attempt to locate a Dirty Books store in town and the dependence on tax revenue from a despoiling landfill.

It is in the characters he has created, though, that Lars Trodson's gift is most evident. From an almost-forgotten park ranger to an iconoclastic veteran to the Calhoun family, we are introduced to complete people. To not feel admiration, frustration, anger, compassion, and ultimately empathy for Langley Calhoun is not only impossible, it might just be inhuman.

Buy Eagles Fly Alone for a great story, but you'll remember it and look forward to more Langley Calhoun for a lot more.


Eagles Fly Alone Review by CPMac.

The unique victim in the first chapter grabs your attention like the teeth of a pitbull and doesn't let go til the last page. Mr. Trodson has caught the flavor of the New England character and towns down to a "t". I felt as if I had lived there. More Calhoun please and soon, Mr. T.


Eagles Fly Alone Review by CL Thomas

Lars Trodson, in his mystery "Eagles Fly Alone", gives us small town New England with all five senses! From setting, to characters, to dialogue it all comes alive and stays with you. I spent Thanksgiving weekend with this book and as my New England family was around me Trodson gave me his fictional family which to me seemed just as real and completely New Hampshire. Every detail from politics, to nature, to emotions kept me turning the page to see what was coming next. A mystery with some nice twists and turns while allowing you to get to know all the characters creating subplots as intersting as the main plot. This book was a great way to spend an evening or two. Let the New England winter come and curl up with this book and a nice fire. I look forward to more of Langley Calhoun and anything else Mr. Trodson pens!

Eagles Fly Alone::Description


One little bird. That's all it took to put an entire town on edge. When Langley Calhoun, the Chief of Police of Fenton, New Hampshire, decides that it's more important to find out who committed a senseless crime than it is to protect the rich and powerful - and even members of his own family - then things get tense in peaceful little Fenton. The mystery that unfolds also forces the Chief to face the deep hostility that has been simmering between him and his older brother, a powerful lawyer, for decades.
