Reviews

[Brian O'Leary · Rating 1 out of 5]

The PI main character is good, but not much else. Too many useless characters that get way too many words dedicated to them.

[Dave · Rating 3 out of 5]

Suprisingly good story. Likeable characters and some great plot twists make this a very good read. Set in Massachutes, a detective is hired to locate a missing father and daughter. He comes up against colorful characters including a local businessman who runs the town.
