"[Strangers on the Beach] is what I consider the perfect type of ‘summer read’. [It's a] mystery/thriller that will hold your attention until the end.” —The Miramichi Reader 
 

"Pahigian has constructed a complex thriller, filled with engaging and eccentric characters ... Twists and turns abound in this tale; the author adeptly dekes and dodges, keeping the reader guessing throughout. It's the best kind of thriller — the kind that matters because the character matters." —Allen Adams, The Maine Edge

 

"Strangers on the Beach is compelling reading ... You just can't make up stuff like this. Well, yes, Pahigian did make this up. I think. He did capture the essence of Old Orchard Beach, making the story believable to me ... And you can believe this. You will really enjoy this novel."  —George Smith, George's Outdoor News blog
