Reunion

by Rex Kusler

This is the final installment in the Las Vegas Mystery series. However, Jim Snow's adventures continue in Maya (Jim Snow Mystery Book 1)Jim Snow and Alice James of the James & James Detective Agency have a new client. His administrative assistant contacted them by mistake—but that won’t prevent them from taking on this challenging case. Their new client is a criminal defense attorney, retained by a close childhood friend of his, murder suspect Lee Hund. The murder victim, Curt Hund, the suspect’s brother, was found shot to death in his bed after the last of the guests left a reunion party at his home on the west side of Las Vegas. The two brothers were business partners, owners and managers of cheap motels in South Dakota, and one on the fringe of downtown Las Vegas, the Wagon Wheel Motel. Together the brothers organized and hosted the Hund extended family reunion, taking place over the Labor Day weekend in Las Vegas. The festivities are a smashing success until Curt Hund reveals some startling news at the banquet podium—and ends up dead later that night.

Rex Kusler was born in Missouri and raised in a small town in Iowa. He spent his most formative years reading Mad Magazine and playing tiddlywinks. His writing began with a newsletter for a beer club he founded in San Jose in 1982. Soon afterward he tried his hand at short stories. After success selling some of them to a few regional magazines he began writing novels. Seven years, four novels, three agents, and a pile of rejection letters later, he gave up--for a while. In 2003 he wrote ANGELA. In 2009 he completed the first novel in his Las Vegas Mystery Series PUNCTURED, based on his experience selling his trailer for cash in an RV storage lot after dark.

Reviews

[David Highton · Rating 3 out of 5]

Still full of political incorrectness, Jim Snow and his partner Alice James, solve a family murder mystery, with the help of Detective Banner of Las Vegas Metro - who is as politically incorrect as Snow. A gentle mystery, but this series now feels pretty tired.

Cute

It was a nice, quick read that threw in some red herrings to keep you guessing. This was a stand alone. I'll probably read more by this author.
