Parent of Twins: 5 out of 5 stars; GREAT GATSBY MEETS HOMELAND
Harriet Pike's novel fuses the tailored lawns and manicured lives of Gentlemen's Agreement with the world of '24' or 'Homeland.' Anti-Semitism lurks in the school hallways, towns and police departments of a suburban Great Gatsby community, which strikes home with a kidnapping. We are introduced to the underside of American Neo-Nazi militias as we are taken from "what might happen if..." to the sense that "it could happen here." Couldn't put the fast-paced thriller down!
 
Joan Kemeny Paru: 5 out of 5 stars; A COMPELLING AND TIMELY NOVEL WHICH CAPTURES THE READER'S INTEREST AND ATTENTION
Enemy in the Garden by Harriet Pike is a thriller novel based on anti-Semitism and neo-Nazism of 40 years ago The writing style used makes this a quick read since once you start, it's hard to put down. The compelling story seems more about the issues of today than it's setting in the 1970's.
 
4 out of 5 stars; COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN
I recently read Enemy in the Garden and couldn't put it down once I started reading. Although it takes place in the 1970s, it could have been today. The story compelled me to talk with others about the impact of hatred that seems to fill our headlines today. It's frightening how your quiet life can change in seconds. It's alarming that these groups continue to infect us. I thought about the group from this book and the events of last January at the Capitol. I recommend this book to anyone interested in anti-semitism and events of today.

Short Story Lover: 4 out of 5 stars; SUSPENSE FROM A WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW
Enemy in the Garden is fast-moving and exciting, with a surprising amount of violence and the requisite twists and turns. There is a strong sense of place throughout the book, thanks to precise descriptions. The basic story is quite exciting. The telling of the tale from the point of view of a suburban housewife makes this a different type of thriller.

Romance Addict: 4 out of 5 stars; BOTH THE GOOD GUYS AND THE BAD GUYS
I thought the characters really came to life, both the good guys and the bad guys. I definitely connected with the heroine and wondered if I would or could be as courageous as she was. Unfortunately, the story sounded too plausible. The story moved quickly with lots of action. It was a terrific read and I hope this author has more stories coming soon down the pike.
