Eyewitness Blues, by one of my favourite authors Tim Baker, is available free for Kindle at Amazon (worldwide) this weekend!

I've read a couple of Tim's books and loved them (Living the Dream and No Good deed), I'm also currently reading his latest novel Full Circle. I'm about halfway through and really enjoying it. This author writes witty, fast-paced, crime fiction. I think he's a gifted writer and definitely one you should check out.

Here's more about the free book:



"Martin Aquino has been dealt a rotten hand in life—from the bottom of a stacked deck. In a flash of inspiration Martin decides the witness protection program is exactly what he needs if he’s ever going to have a quiet, normal life. Martin didn’t exactly witness the murder, but he knows who pulled the trigger – so reporting it to the law and using it as his ticket into the program isn’t wrong. Is it? Unfortunately, when mob boss Don Gammino learns that his right-hand man has been named as a murder suspect he decides to teach Martin a new tune. A chance for escape comes to him from an unexpected source, and he takes it—all the way to Flagler Beach, Florida where he gets his first taste in years of the life he’s been longing for. However, in keeping with is life in Rhode Island, his new life isn't without its complications. Now his only protection from Gammino and his goon squad is in the form of a wheelchair-bound bookie and an ex-Navy SEAL, named Ike, with a penchant for bending the rules. Martin’s in a tropical paradise surrounded by people but he still feels alone in the world. Life isn’t easy when you have the Eyewitness Blues."

Eyewitness Blues by Tim Baker

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book. Having read No Good deed and Living the Dream, I was looking forward to reading this one. Tim Baker is a brilliant writer. His novels are always full of humour and plenty of twists and turns. "Eyewitness Blues" is another action-packed book that is entertaining and contains the inspired and thought-provoking prose that I have come to expect from this author.

We follow the hapless Martin Aquino in this crime-fuelled adventure. He travels to Flagler Beach in Florida, and there we meet some of the characters from Tim Baker's earlier novels, including Ike. Ike is a larger than life character who regularly appears in this author's books. There's a bonus short story at the end of the book, which is taken from a collection of short stories that feature Ike.

There are so many interesting and realistic characters in "Eyewitness Blues". It will have you on the edge of your seat.

Tim Baker's novels are always engrossing and compelling, and "Eyewitness Blues" is no exception. It's a fun read that also has a deeper meaning. It's always wonderful when you find a writer who knows how to weave compulsive and entertaining tales that also contain important observations about life and human nature.
