Vince Tanzi #3
Tanzi's Game
Ex-deputy and former private investigator Vince Tanzi is a family man now, and there is no longer any room for staking out motels and chasing after bad guys. Not with a nine-month-old kid in the back seat. Vince has reluctantly retired to focus on child rearing, recovering from a near-fatal injury, and the occasional knitting project. That is, until his best friend's mother vanishes without explanation.The third Tanzi adventure takes him to southernmost Florida and closer to the Equator when the trail leads offshore. He is up against the Pimentel family, formerly of the Hialeah numbers racket, but now respectable citizens. Sort of. He is also up against his own personal issues, including a tenuous marriage and some unwelcome distractions.Follow Vince Tanzi into the tropical heat as he reunites with Roberto, Sonny, and a host of vivid characters while he untangles a blood feud that has turned deadly.

Meh
I have had it these stupid books where every woman must have the main character. I mean c'mon three women wanting this idiot. This trash even goes as far as one woman having an orgasm with his kiss and another woman who is engaged falling for him all the while he is married with a nine month old baby. Booooo, boooooo, booooo

A Complicated Puzzle of Personalities
C.I. Dennis' mystery held my attention entirely. Vince Tanzi is a delightful character, and all of the supporting characters are as well. The story line was complex yet easy to follow, and the resolution made me happy and looking forward to reading another Tanzi adventure.

Best one yet
I have become hooked on Tanzi. If you like fast paced private eye adventures these sure fit the bill. The last one had me exploring Vermont. Now we are back in Florida with some Cuba thrown in for diversity. Just some good escapism.

Game of fun
This third book was the best so far! Had very interesting and twisting story line that I could not set my Kindle down

An interesting PI story with a terribly flawed but kind-hearted main character. There is much in the story that is very tongue in cheek, such as every good-looking woman he meets wants him in their bed, but all in all a very entertaining read with great character development and a steady moving plot. Lots of humor along the way. Didn't think I would like this one because of the baby, but it worked too. I couldn't help but wonder if Tanzi is the author's alter ego, just maybe?

I like the way the book reads, even though it seems to be about a lot of different things thrown together, then connections made among them. Kidnapping, baby, kidnapped baby, cheating wives, cheating husbands, big boats, big money, Cuba, fake priest, nuns, massage therapist, changing diapers on the beach, murder(s) by cop, other murders, Baptiste, etc etc etc....

Great game
This book has everything. A fast paced thriller that you can't put down. I enjoy all books based in Florida, especially in areas I am familiar with, so this book was great.

Tanzi 's Game ( Vince Tanzi Book 3)
Lots of surprises mixed with the suspense in this one. More murders and kidnapping add to the enjoyment of another great novel from this talented author.

Excellent
I chose this book because it's set in South Florida, my home. Was very excited to find I really enjoyed it and now have another author to read.

This guy has bad luck. Just started the series in the middle. Don't! Too much stuff you don't know. I'll try to get the first 2 and maybe it will be better

Fast Paced
Story of revenge, murder, greed, deception and romance. Cuban settings and law enforcement shape the tale strongly. Author is great

Interesting Read
The characters are well developed and plausible. The plot is generally well designed except that certain twists are too exaggerated to my personal taste.

Good story.
I enjoyed this story. It was interesting and had several unforseen twists. Tanzi is tough, smart and decent while having some flaws as well.

Another good one in the series. Didn't even see the twist coming, but it was woven into the storyline seamlessly.

Really good
This was a really good read. Interesting main character, good supporting cast, a story that builds, with some twists, and a good pace. I definitely enjoyed this and would read more in the series.

Fast moving and spare in covering a lot of territory. This for me was a satisfying read.

Readable and entertaining enough. However, the plot overall and at least one of the characters is too far fetched, which limited my reading pleasure.
