About the author
Rick Murcer
37 books68 followersRick Murcer lives in Michigan and like many in that part of the country lost his job in 2008 due to a decline in the economy. An experienced executive, he sent out over 600 resumes without success. With unemployment benefits waning and savings nearly depleted he did the only logical thing he could think of...decide to become a writer.
Fortunately for Rick, he defied all conventional wisdom about self-publishing and literally became an overnight sensation. His first three books Caribbean Moon, Deceitful Moon, and Emerald Moon sold more than 300,000 copies between April and October 2011. He had two books in Amazon's top ten for many weeks and became both a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author.
Rick graduated from Michigan State University and is fairly new to the game of writing. Proving his knack for storytelling, the first piece he had ever written, Herb's Home Run, was published by The Writer's Journal in 2002. Rick attributes his success to hard work and God's blessing and believes that you can achieve any goal you wish if you just set your mind to it.
Rick has been married longer than his wife likes to admit, and they have two grown children, three grandkids, and a blind, black Lab named Max, who serves as Rick's "writing" dog. Each morning Max pushes Rick to his writing room so that the dog can snore on his rug while Rick ponds away on the keys. And pounds away he does. Rick is one of those amazing writers that are so energized by the stories in their heads the words just flow onto the page. He has many works in progress so expect more titles from him in the near future.

Not worth my time!
Nothing much to say. Don't know why I bothered to even finish it. Don't waste your time. Nothing redeemable about this book. My 12 year old grandson could write a better one without even trying.

My reasons
To short of a story. Barely understood who was who when it ended. But I liked it. Would read another one of these stories if more to it.

It wasn't the worst thing I've ever read. However, for my taste, the writing is a bit light, the main character a bit too self-absorbed, and it wrapped up way too quickly (where was the procedure!?) - very unsatisfying. Maybe it's meant as a bridge to another book so would be better if I had continued on to the other book, but I didn't know that, the book didn't lead me to the next one, and nowhere did I see that it was meant to be a short story not a novel before I started it - ack! ;-)

Its a typical CIA "who did it" and who is double agent type book. I liked the multiple plots- they all started good but the end thrown together in a frenzy of sorts. I guessed the double agent about half way threw the book and I was hoping I was wrong just for the surprise but it was who I thought it was. I guess you can say its a predictable book.

This book was AMAZING!! Murcer had me from the 1st page to the end. When I thought I knew who the murderer was, it took a different turn! Plenty of twists and turns. I am looking forward to checking his other books out!

It was good, but a little too short. There could have been a little more character development. However, it was an unexpected bridge to the next book.

love this series.

It was a quick read, although overly difficult to read for a short story, as it lacked continuity. Recommended, just barely.

Entertaining.

Only interesting if you've read the first three books in the "Moon" series and plan to read the next one. Just a short story really featuring Manny's partner instead of him.
