The Critics Have Spoken…

  • “Well-researched history on Seattle’s seedier side. From prostitution to bootlegging, for the armchair historian, this one has it all.” Patrick M. Whitehurst
  • “Excellent presentation of history, which included many photos and stories of Tacoma in years past.” Sharon Johnson
  • “What a wonderful book!” Linda Marsh
  • “Being from Tacoma, my wife and I love this little gem.” Mick Schnabel
  • “Superb!” Alexandra Olsen
  • “Some pretty good stories surrounding the history of Seattle. Several murders are covered, from the past and present. Even a few suicides are featured in the writing hand of Teresa Nordheim. An author and book I highly recommend.” James Herington
  • Teresa Nordheim has given us an engaging and enlightening history of Seattle. I had no idea it was so down and dirty. I skimmed this, and it was really interesting. I met her at the bookstore for a signing, and I’m glad I went. It left me wanting more.” Tony Kief
  • “This was a great read. I loved the historical background of each location, which was paired with paranormal stories. I didn’t realize there were so many ghosts in Texas. The book is well-researched. The stories read more like a fictional tale than true life. This helped me because I usually do not like non-fiction stories.” Shi Liu

It is important to note that I read all my book reviews. Although I favor the positive reviews, the negative reviews can be used as a learning tool to improve my art. I treasure the diamonds and share them here with you. I use the lumps of coal to have a good cry, and then I see how to make my next book a diamond. Happy reading and haunting. – Teresa
