Reviews from Reviewers

"The Man in the Moon was absolutely unbelievable. I loved it. This book had me so drawn in and
distracted me from Hurricane Fay. It was very well written, and is a favorite of mine now. It drew you
in from the first page and kept you into the book until the end. It drew up very vivid images in my
head and made me think I was really there. And the suspense and the mystery, it had me biting my
lip through a lot of the parts. I recommend this to anyone who loves a good thriller/mystery. Even if
you don't normally read the genre, it's still really good.

that adults and young adults could both enjoy. Suspenseful and intriguing, this is a book that will
keep you guessing. Mr. Tancin has a hit series on his hands."

"The author, Tom Tancin has brilliantly written a murder mystery filled with suspense and a cold,
calculating murderer.  The story will have you intrigued until the very end.  Not only is Tom a
talented author, he has shown us his astutely keen business sense by posting his first 19 chapters
on his blog, tantalizing readers to the point where they simply must know the conclusion, when the
book is released.  I highly recommend reading this novel"

“The Man in the Moon” is a great, suspenseful mystery. The author Tom Tancin did an excellent
job researching the story behind the man in the moon and both the English and Native American
names of the full moons. He connects these names to clues about the whereabouts and the style of
the next murders. This was really ingenious on Tancin’s part. It really added to the suspense and
intrigue of the mystery.
This is a great novel for both young adults and adults. I think that the mysterious elements
incorporated in this book will appeal to all ages. I look forward to reading other mysteries with
Detective Lindsey Scott in them."                                                                     -Readerviews



"The clues to the pattern of the murders are quite clever and Tancin's narrative keeps the story
suspenseful."                                                                                                -Mysterious Reviews


"The book is definitely entertaining.  I read it straight through from start to finish in a matter of
hours.  The story has several well developed characters who move the plot along in an entertaining
and interesting way.  I was taken into the story line from the start of the story, and found myself
wanting to keep reading as Lindsey Scott came closer and closer to uncovering the answers the
author had created, in regards to the identity and motives of this killer.  From what I understand,
there are to be more novels to follow this, as part of a Lindsey Scott series.  I'm definitely looking
forward to reading the next in the series."

"The Man In The Moon is suspenseful and a real page turner I didn't want to put it down. This novel
has characters we can all relate to with real life problems and issues and of course our days at
college. It will keep you guessing all the way to the very end. Detective Lindsey Scott is a role model
for this generation and many to come. I can't wait for another Lindsey novel to come out. Tom
Tancin is one of our Best new writers. His writing technique and attention to detail is what makes
this book a Number 1 Best Seller. To: Tom From your Top two Fan's thank you for doing what you
do and doin it so well. Keep writing Please you have a real gift!

"The Man in the Moon inspired me in more ways than one. You have a great plot,great characters
and a very distinct killer. Tom Tancin takes his knowledge of science and applies it well.
I am glad we didn't get stuck with the same old killer who shoots someone and leaves them to die
(BORING LOL) Instead we have a twisted, SICK frankly individual who preys on college children. the
book was amazing. I love the fact you have another book in the works with detective Scott."
                                                                                                      -Rebekah Marie Bushey

"The plot was creative and entertaining. In fact, the novel was my main source of entertainment
during a recent power-outage I had due to a storm. It was nice to sit by the fire and read chapter
after chapter of your story. :) You did well on character development, especially with Lindsey Scott's
character. It would be fun to read more mysteries that she tries to solve."

"I finished your book and enjoyed it and your characters. I can see that Lindsey will become a
favourite and readers will want more. Your knowledge of biology came across and made for
interesting reading! I am waiting for your new books to be finished now.

"So I loved the book and couldn't put it down...Ian who never reads except to study actually wants to
read it... which is awesome since I can not tell you the last time he picked up a book. I was
captivated and was in my own little world reading your book. You are very talented but to say the
least that doesn't surprise me."

You are a wonderful writer with a unique storytelling voice and style.

Tom Tancin is a young man who has managed to write an enthralling novel that is equally worthy of
comparison of skill to many older authors in the same field.  The author manages to keep the
reader on a good paced roller coaster of suspense throughout - with 'personal life' bits of Lindsey
Scott thrown in for good measure so the reader becomes 'involved'.  Tom Tancin has done very
well here - introducing a likeable 'real' character whom I am looking forward to seeing more of in
following novels - continuing to solve the unsolvable.
