I absolutely love Dwayne!! He’s a clumsy, dorky guy who would also give you the shirt off hos back. This series starts with Dwayne returning home for his class reunion. And not being able to say no to his childhood best friend’s mom that he’ll play detective and find out what happened to Ryan (her son who was killed). This is a great series!!

I won Reunion in a giveaway and I knew immediately this book would be an award winner. I was hooked and couldn't wait to see what trouble the bumbling yet lovable main character, Dwayne Morrow, would find himself immersed in and book #2 Circumvention and #3 Retribution did not disappoint! I highly recommend this series. You won't be disappointed!

Don’t miss out on this great series! You never know what kind of trouble is going to find Dwayne! You’ll think you know the answers, but you don’t!

These 3 books are the start of a series. Dwayne Morrow is a beginner detective and works hard to solve different mysteries. I have loved these books so far.
