5.0 out of 5 stars I had great fun reading this—sometimes the tense kind of fun
I had great fun reading this—sometimes the tense kind of fun, for balance of course—and it was over too fast. I think that makes this what they call a "page-turner." Cliches aside, I gladly picked up my copy as often and for as long as I could. Mark Beyer has quite a cast of characters going here and his each of his settings snapped into sharp focus in my mind. I can't wait to read the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked his protagonist
This is a crime novel that grabs the reader right away; a true "page turner"! I liked his protagonist, he reminded me of the characters that my favorite author Nelson DeMille creates, so I hope that Mark Beyer has another novel on the horizon! It is great read that you won't want to put down! You will not be disappointed if you read HIRED MAN ... 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, fun, and suspenseful page turner
Loved this book. I wasn’t expecting a page turner, however that’s exactly what what you get with Hired Man. The characters were unique but very relate-able, ultimately pushing me to find out what their fates were much later into the night than I anticipated. The pacing and plot kept me guessing without any gimmicks or overly complex schemes. This is a hidden gem for sure. Read this book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars WORTH EVERY PENNY!
This was his first novel? Amazing. Great story. Great premise. An incredible page turner. This Beyer guy can really tell a story. Can't wait for his next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Hired Man is a stunning debut. The thriller crackles along in the foreground while Beyer explores the political and social dynamics of southeastern Michigan further towards the back. And the underlying themes—from religion to philanthropy to municipal corruption—plumb much deeper depths than your average detective story.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Beyer clearly knows this Hitchcockian territory; ordinary man thrust into an extraordinary situation that puts a grip on its reader and doesn't let go. Pearce Butler is a riveting character that keeps us guessing over and over again. Can't wait for the next Pearce Butler thrill ride!
