Here is what the literati are saying about writer Michael Petrie:

Emmy Award winning CBS Network News correspondent, communications strategist and author David Henderson says, In praise of Mike Petrie ... Long ago I have learned to recognize exceptional writing talent. Michael Petrie is squarely in that category. Michael has that creative writing gift of seeing the world about him through a special lens of perspective that bring his words alive. He has the storytelling ability to place the reader into the moment, making us feel as though we are there. His writing is entertaining, articulate, fast-paced, just plain fun to read . . . and I'm a fan!

Kimberley Cameron, well-known literary agent with offices in Paris & San Francisco, says . . . You're the Only One I Can Trust is a very accomplished work by a fine writer.

Author Lon Schleining says, Look no further than Mike Petrie’s list of publications to see he has the rare combination of writing talent and dogged research. Of course, it helps that Mike has an enviable gift for story-telling, but it’s perhaps even more important that he’s so tenacious. Whether it’s fiction or non, Mike’s real contribution to readers is writing based on following the facts wherever they lead. Lucky for us we get to ride along.

David Schmidt, editor at SAIL-World's Leading Sailing Magazine says, Michael's work is always on target, well researched and carefully written. I happily recommend his writing.

South Bay Review . . . You’re The Only One I Can Trust is an ideal summertime who-dun-it, taking readers straight to the beach, aboard sailing boats and to tropical islands, searching for clues, with just a touch of kink and unrequited love thrown in. This sardonic, jovial homage to the legal/mystery genre should be on everyone’s summer reading list.

Emmy Award winner, producer, correspondent Greg Dobbs of ABC News, World News Tonight, Good Morning America, Nightline, and 20/20 says, Michael E. Petrie writes with authenticity that other authors fail to capture. He knows the people, he knows the scene, he knows the Southern California life he writes about!
