My Honest Review

If you like crime stories with action, heart and humor this series is absolutely the best. If this is the first in the series that you read I highly recommend you star at the beginning book and clear your schedule. I LOVED every one of them and I'm always a little sad at the end of each one because now I have to wait for the next one. Happy reading!

WHEN AN AUTHOR CAN WRITE CHARACTERS SO WELL THAT THE READER FEELS REALLY CONNECTED TO THE CHARACTERS. THIS FOR ME IS ONE OF THOSE AUTHORS YOU LOVE AND HATE WHATS GOING ON IN THE STORY. I GET SO INTO HIS WRITING I FEEL AS IF I'M EXPERIENCING EVERYTHING PERSONALLY. I LOVE THIS SERIES EVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES I HATE IT. SMILE! MR. SCOTT DOES THIS EVERYTIME HE DOESN'T DISSAPOINT ME. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE BOOK#22 STATE OF VENGENCE. ;D

The Virgil Jones Mystery Thriller Series Books

I just finished reading this series and highly recommend all 21 books. The characters are well developed, each story tightly written, and has a bit of spirituality mixed in. If you are familiar with Indiana, that will add to your enjoyment. Great law enforcement read.

21 was fun 🤣

Another great read but I’m nearly the end of the books 📕 it makes me sad but always open to another one! Thomas has a way of bringing characters to life in a way that is so unique. Each character brings life to the pages you read. It’s a great testament to an author. Thank you……
