About the author
Bob Moats
133 books67 followersDetroit area resident, Bob Moats, has been writing short stories and plays for as long as he can remember. He has lost most of his original stories, typed or handwritten, in the numerous moves he has made from his hometown of Fraser, Michigan to Northern Michigan, to Las Vegas and back to Fraser, where he now lives. He also wrote the short fantasy novella "Crystal Prison of Kyr" and is a published playwright with his three act comedy "Happily Ever After".
Moats became one of the causalities of unemployment early in 2009, and had time on his hands to finally pursue a life long dream of writing a full blown crime novel. Thus was born the first book, "Classmate Murders".
What followed was a series of 20 books starting with "The Classmate Murders" which introduces the main character, Jim Richards, who has to admit he has become a senior citizen, reluctantly. Richards, one day, receives an email from a childhood sweetheart asking for his help, but by the time he reaches her, she has been murdered. His life turns around and he is pulled into numerous murders of women from his high school who he hasn't seen in forty years. Along with a friend of his, Buck, a big, mustached biker, they go off to track down the killer before he can get to one former classmate, Penny Wickens, a TV talk show host who Jim has just fallen for while protecting her. The killer is also murdering the women right out from under police protection, driving homicide detective Will Trapper crazy, and he slowly depends on Jim to help. There's humor, suspense, wild chases across suburban Detroit with cops, classic cars and motorcycle clubs; murder, mayhem, a good amount of romance and a twist ending.
Bob recently started a new series, the Fatal series. The first book "Fatal Rejection" is about serial killers, an author and the editors that the author wants to murder. The second book "Fatal Departure" follows the first with a new serial killer stalking the principal characters, Sarah and Dave. A third book is now in the works, "Fatal Romance" about a killer using companion ads to find his prey.

This is free on kindle! I suggest you get it because it's freaking funny as hell!
I will not lie! I peed my fecking pants! OMG! This book was hilarious. I mean there are some good stuff that happens and a love interest but the funny parts, for the love of Pete, YEAH . . .
I lay on my bed, frustrated by my life so far. I screwed up on a case and I was demoted as a Detroit homicide detective to working the cold case files. I wasn't happy about it, and I didn't even have a helper. I was all alone in the basement office with tons of case files of dead people for whom we never solved their murders. I was all alone to do the job, until he showed up.
He being the ghost of a one Detective Wesley (Wes) Loomis. And thus it begins.
Russ meets Wes in his own home that fine morning. They talk and get to know each other, crack me up and rattle Russ a wee bit. But it's an awesome partnership.
"So are you going to follow me to the precinct?"
"I'm like Star Trek, I can transport to the precinct before you get there."
"Fine, get out of here, so I can get dressed," I said, and he disappeared.
I will say they do end up solving two cold cases and one current case. The captain is very happy with Russ and wants to bring him out of cold case, but Russ wants to stay there and help the ghosts.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Russ can see Wes but he can't see all of the other ghosts around. There is a reason but you can read about that for yourself. Wes gives information from the ghosts to Russ so he can help them.
So, besides all of the funny stuff that happens, there are a little bit of gruesome stuff and some happy endings for some ghosts and not so happy for the bad guys. Also, the ghosts can actually move things or attack things etc in the book.
I needed a good laugh and what better than a cop book that includes ghosts!
Nelson pulled me aside and said, "Okay, Russ. Eight people in this room just saw this guy thrown across the squad room, in the air. No one was anywhere near him other than Officer Walker. Now, your last perp complained about a ghost bothering him. Is there something going on here that you need to explain?"
"I really don't know, Nelson. It's strange to me what happened. I couldn't tell you anything." I had to say that or they would have locked me up as a nut.
"How do I explain this to the captain?"
"Just tell him Officer Joyce Walker used her ju-jitsu and threw him. She's a hero."
He just gave me the stare and turned to the female cop and said, "Good job Walker, throwing him like that with your Kung-Fu."
She looked dazed, and puzzled and didn't respond. It all happened so fast that everyone would have a different story.
I look forward to reading all of the series now! Excellent!

Note, March 23, 2022: I just edited this to correct a typo (an omitted letter that changed a word!).
When I downloaded this freebie tale to my Kindle app, I had the (mistaken) impression that it was just a short e-story; it's actually a 140-page novella. (The Goodreads description, which I did not read first, makes that clear; but I do NOT recommend reading that description before reading the book, since it summarizes the whole story-line and includes some serious spoilers!) I read the book on the strength of a five-star review from a lady in one of my Goodreads groups. This provides a good example of the fact that, even if a glowing review is written by a reviewer whose taste and smarts command considerable deserved respect (as is the case here), that's no guarantee that you'll like the same book; our response to what we read is highly individual and subjective, so my take on a book may vary wildly from someone else's. (And just because I didn't like this book doesn't say that you won't.)
I'd concede at the outset that this isn't a work that's intended to be taken very seriously; it's meant to do nothing more than provide passing diversion. But for me, it even did a poor job of that. For starters, the internal logic of murdered ghosts systematically helping police to catch their murderers is so implausible it gets in the way of suspension of disbelief; if this were possible the way it's depicted here, homicide investigation would be an extremely simple matter. (Moats tries to get around this by having his ghostly major character state at one point that he doesn't know if this program is already duplicated on police forces worldwide, or if it's just an idea being newly tried out here, but that's not particularly convincing.) Related to this, the ghostly involvement functions like a deus ex machina that removes most of the real challenge or suspense from the plot. For me, the author's depiction of the afterlife, relayed by a ghost who admittedly doesn't know much outside of his own direct experience, is theologically illiterate enough to also get in the way of suspension of disbelief (although any reader who would take a book like this seriously as a source of information on the afterlife has more serious problems than theological illiteracy).
In general, the author's prose style is amateurish. Characterizations are uniformly cardboard and one-dimensional. Dialogue is simplistic and sometimes stilted; in places, I can't imagine anyone actually speaking like this. Pacing tends to be slow, and the chapter divisions are illogical, often falling in the middle of conversations. Though the author is a Michigan (but not Detroit) native, the Detroit setting is not exploited for any meaningful sense of place; beyond a passing early reference to Tiger Stadium, it could take place anywhere. In one of the two real action scenes, I found it very improbable that a murder suspect in a police station could actually grab an experienced cop's gun out of the holster and put it to a (presumably armed) female cop's head, making her a hostage; and the bare statement that he did here, without any other elaboration, made the scene difficult to believe or visualize, and robbed it of any dramatic quality it could have had. And while the viewer I mentioned above found the book as a whole extremely humorous, I did not; I would say some parts are rather droll, but that's as far as I could go. Much of the text has no humorous quality at all, and I'm not sure that it's intended to.
Given the milieu in which this is set and the kinds of characters being depicted, the amount of bad language is not excessive. Although we're dealing with some very grisly homicides, the blood and gore also isn't described any more than it needs to be. There's also no explicit sex. Unmarried sex does take place in the story, though, with two different partners for protagonist Russ in the space of a few days (one being a woman that he just met), and Moats comes across as fairly clueless about relationships. (Supposedly having feelings of "love" towards one woman and being interested in marrying her obviously doesn't inspire our hero --if we can call him that-- to any attempts at fidelity. I never got any sense of the romance between Russ and Mary as something real and credible.) The ghost has his mind in the gutter a lot of the time, which tended to be off-putting, and both he and Russ visit strip joints for recreation, which doesn't set any example of respect for women.
This is a series opener, but needless to say, it's not a series I intend to follow. And I'm not going to be purchasing the paper book. (This is Exhibit A of the value of free electronic previews!)

Fun start to the series. Reminds me a little of the Charley Davidson series, but goofier. I laughed out loud several times. I love finding new stress-relieving series!

The ghost detective
Paranormal is a new genre for Bob Moats, and he pulls it off beautifully. Detective Russ Baker has been demoted to cold case files for messing up his last couple of cases. Now he's also been assigned a ghost to help him get the cases solved. He didn't want a partner, especially a dead one named Wes who used to be a cop. The person in charge of the ghosts didn't care what Russ wanted. Poor Russ is struggling with getting used to Wes, finding out the woman of his dreams is marrying someone else, and his office is filled with all the ghosts from the cold case files. This book will grab your attention, and leave you wanting more.

Great book
Looking forward to the next one in the series. At least I hope it will be a new series. With the tongue in cheek humor and almost slapstick type of comedy I found myself chuckling thru the book.

I finally dug this book out of my TBR pile because of my facebook friends kept bragging how good it was.
It did not disappoint. I loved it so much, I had to get book 2. It looks like Bob and I will be spending a lot of late night evenings together with Russ and Wes.

This review was originally posted at https://bit.ly/4aOApTN.
Detective Russ Baker hasn't had an exemplary track record. In fact, the captain is so frustrated with him that he has been sentenced to the cold case files. But, when he arrives he learns that he has a new partner. A ghost helper from the beyond in the shape of a long dead cop. With the help of his new ghost partner Russ can not only talk to the ghosts in the cold case room, but bring killers to justice.
This book was one of my impulse purchases. I thoroughly enjoy paranormal books. Be they spicy or not. In this case, there is no spice and it is something I am kind of glad of. There is a strip club though. And there is the very good possibility of a slow-burn romance starting, but I don't know how in depth the author is going to go with it. Seems like it may end up being more of a closed-door situation, if that path is pursued.
Anyways, we have a cop that is basically spirally and has an awful close record being sent to cold cases as a punishment. Once there he meets a ghost detective who lets him know that he has been sent to help Russ help the ghosts move on by bringing their killers to justice. It works out great by both improving Russ's close rate and by helping get him out of his slump.
I enjoyed every aspect of this book from the character's personalities to the actions taken against the criminals. It was like a fun, and somewhat crass, mashup of Psych and Ghost Whisperer. I would absolutely read more in this series.

Entertaining.
I saw this book and thought... why not? The story takes place in Detroit and I'm from the Detroit area. I was a little skeptical at first, so many people get it wrong, but this book got it right. The story and characters were intriguing... so much so... that the story was over before I knew it. I can not remember the last time I had so much fun reading. This book is definitely worth the read. I look forward to reading the next one.

Simple and easy but fun
You want the good guys to win, and they do. A nice twist to an otherwise predictable ending. I look forward to reading more about these cops. I really loved hearing the names of local to me places... A nice little touch.

Exceptional!
This was a quick start right I to the story. Right from the beginning I was captivated. There were no slow spots or soppy stuff to skip over. I definitely would like to read more of this series!

Poorly proofread
Spelling errors, missing words, etc. distracted from the plot. The idea behind the book was good. I hope the characters have more depth as the series continues.

Good read entertaining and fun. Enjoyed the story line especially as I work as an LEO. Kinda far fetched but definitely readable.

Foul language
Kind of dirty and foul language not my kind of book. The story line was good and liked it. Detectives, ghosts, and mystery.

Cute storyline
Good and easy read. Likeable characters. Interesting to see where story leads. Don't want Wes to go back to the dark place.

This is a fun concept. A Detroit police detective, Russ Baker, has made enough mistakes to get sent to Cold Case files. He encounters a ghost of a murdered policeman who is assigned to help him solve these crimes so the trapped spirits of the victims of the unresolved crimes can be freed.
The book is so dialogue heavy you start to feel like you are reading a play or screenplay rather than a novel. It hurts your head. The books moves swiftly, seeming too swiftly in some parts and some 'problems' seem to be resolved too easily.
Good concept, bad execution

This book was okay, but it didn't catch me and not let go, if you know what I mean. The short sentences had a choppy feel, and there were LOTS of scenes that were just talking heads -- no description, no one doing anything BUT talking. It's a fast read, though, and a good concept.
May 1, 2016
I liked the premise of the book, but I was expecting some humor and perhaps more action. Obviously, a book about a detective working with a ghost detective wasn't going to be realistic, but it seemed a bit simplistic. Still, I rated it 3.8 stars.

Another great book for Mr. Moats! Love this combination! Wes is my new favorite and I sure hope you are writing more about him. Need more books that make me this happy!

This book was a lot of fun. It was different from Bob Moats other crime thrillers. He did this beautifully. It's fun, funny and I love the ghost Wes. He's such a character. Can't wait for more books!
