Remembering Dresden (Jack Turner Suspense Series Book 2) Kindle Edition
Young history professor, Jack Turner, takes a retreat at a lakeside cabin just outside of Culpepper, Georgia to work on his doctoral dissertation. The cabin is owned by an ambitious state senator, an inheritance from his father. Inside, everything is exactly the way it was when the old man died ten years ago. While taking a break from his research, Jack snoops through the father’s books and finds an old photo album filled with black-and-white pictures of orphaned children. Intrigued, he continues searching and finds what appears to be evidence of murder and an old leather journal, handwritten entirely in German. Rachel Cook, Jack’s girlfriend, translates the journal for him. What it reveals instantly puts both of their lives in mortal danger.
Besides his bestselling inspirational novels, Dan Walsh is quickly becoming known for "unputdownable" novels of suspense.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2017Culpepper, GA. Professor Jack Turner (Culpepper U, PhD history student, PTSD) & Rachel Cook (Jack’s GF, Culpepper U student) were discussing the horrors that occurred at Dresden, Germany back in 1945.
8 WWII piolets of the 379th. Bombardment Group had been murdered in arsonist/explosions related fires.
DS Joe Boyd (Culpepper PD) got a call to head out to the convenience store.
3 thugs were offended by a jar full of 50 confederate flags.
1 of the, was videotaping the events that were going to happen on his cell phone.
Jack had found a bunch of black/white pictures & WWII memorabilia that was left at the Lake Sampson cabin he/Rachel shared.
Lots of it was in German which he had to use Google to translate.
What was in the envelope Senator Burkhart “Burke” Wagner (D; GA) gave Harold Vandergraf (Burke’s aide)?
2/13/1945, Dresden, Germany. Luther Wilhelm Hausen (8, son/brother), & Ernst Josef Hausen (12, son/brother, Hitler Youth) were crossing the Augustus-Brucke bridge & talking about the events of WII.
The 2 of them were going to meet their sister Eva (28, daughter) at the Kleindeist Bakery (Altmarkt) where she worked.
At home the air-raid sirens went off & they were all headed for the cellar.
The Kleindeist Bakery was destroyed. Most of the town was in flames.
Explosion after explosion came.
What did Harold want Rob Strickland to do?
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written dual timeline book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a large set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great political thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024I couldn't put this book down! Great story featuring Jack Turner, history professor. If Dan Walsh wrote it, I definitely want to read it.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2016I have to space Dan's books apart because I enjoy them so much that when I read less enjoyable books I know I'm finally going to get something good coming back to his. I also don't want to run out of super satisfying reads so I parse them out over time. He's my new favorite author, my most recommended one too. I had a friend in a book club. She kept saying she didn't like the choices and it was her turn to pick one. She picked one of Dan's and it was a big hit with the group. He never disappoints. Each one is completely different and draws you in from the first page. I love the way he develops the characters, the villains and the heroes. His way of weaving history throughout his storyline is both fascinating and educational. The romance is never gratuitous or over the top, it may actually be kind of one dimensional. But that's fine because there is always true caring and respect in these relationships. I've found a few typos, or grammatical errors, but they don't annoy or distract from the story. A man of faith, Dan doesn't preach but lets his characters live out their integrity, or lack thereof. Hope he has one out there I have yet to read.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2020Remembering Dresden is the second book in the Jack Turner Suspense series by Dan Walsh. The action in this book begins about a year after the events in book 1, When Night Comes. Main character Jack Turner has joined the university as a history professor while working on his dissertation to acquire his PhD. He has seemingly gotten over the trauma that filled his days and nights the year before and is settling into a routine of work while advancing his relationship with Rachel. All seems good until he discovers a journal and scrapbook at a cabin he is renting — all thoughts of scholarly research go out the window! I liked the growth we see in Jack. He is not nearly as naive (my husband said he was a doofus 😉 ) and has done things to be able to defend himself and Rachel should future threats emerge. And the threats do! If you like a quick-pace in your reading, then this one is for you. Interactions between Jack and Detective Joe Boyd have gone from disbelief and distrust to a mutual respect and willingness to work together to get to the bottom of a decades old case. I see that Walsh has another series featuring Boyd, and the development of his character in this novel leaves me anticipating those books as well. One big plus for me was the description of the Dresden firebombing that involved British and American forces during WWII. The scenes depicted were truly horrific and added greatly to my understanding of that event. That pivotal event in the past set in motion all that Jack uncovers, as well as the attempts to thwart his investigation. Walsh does a great job of blending past and present in a highly readable suspense novel.
Recommended.
Audience: adults.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024Great read. Different than his previous books but just as nail biting. I appreciate the positive behaviors and God-fearing attitude of the characters. Can’t wait to read the next Jack Turner book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, clean, historical suspense story.
I am not sure how I can say "I loved this" when it's two days before Christmas and I should be reading happy, sweet, Christmas stories; however Dan Walsh, I love this Remembering Dresden story in your Jack Turner Suspense #2 and I look forward to reading #3.
It is so delightful to read good solid suspense and mystery stories without all the swearing that often appears in police related stories and shows. This story does what every story should do - it keeps the reader under suspense, it develops the characters and it teaches some facts, whether history, geography, medical, emotional, etc.
I highly recommend this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars another rip roaring story
Wow, this one is good. Heatwrenching, tear making, suspenseful, dangerous for the characters I’m coming to know well. Completely clean. Great fast paced read.
- Ray BurstonReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2016
5.0 out of 5 stars One mean mystery suspense.
Dan writes one mean mystery suspense. The choice of an unusual subject matter, plus credible characters and a gripping plot make for a great read. Furthermore, he writes in short, punchy sentences (I don't think there is one in the book that is longer than fifteen words!). Definitely worth buying.
- cnortheReviewed in Germany on July 24, 2016
3.0 out of 5 stars The storyline is a little simplistic
This book is generally good, but there are a number of things that put me off. I found a few points hard to swallow. Just one: It never occurred to this supposedly extremely cunning bad guy that someone might enter this unoccupied cabin and easily find all the evidence he left behind? He didn't think to secure it in a place where only his son could ever gain access to it? Come on.
The plot is a little simplistic, it's an entertaining read for the beach/plane but pretty predictable.
