CLOSE YOUR EYES (MARTIN RHODES #1)
A serial killer is leaving dismembered bodies on trains for passengers to find and he will stop at nothing to get his message across.
Former Detective Martin Rhodes spent ten years in prison for murder. After traveling from town to town in search of employment, he arrives in the City of Bridgeton. Rhodes hopes to re-start his life and to leave his past behind him. Special Agent Jo Pullinger is searching for a man who killed her father over twenty years ago. Jo is suffering from a heart condition which she hides from the world. A series of dead bodies on the trains lead Rhodes and Jo to end up searching for the same person.
THE ROSE GARDEN (ECHO ROSE #1)
Ten years ago, a woman was taken for ransom and never seen again. Now another woman has been taken.
Grace Kelly Sanderson is living a quiet and mundane life as a call center agent. When a reporter is found badly beaten in a ditch, Kelly turns into her alter ego, Echo Rose, and begins searching for the people responsible. Meanwhile, Detective Skip Malloy is trying to solve the murder of a construction worker. When someone close to Skip is taken hostage, Echo becomes the only person who can help him.
THE SILENT REPORTER (HYDER ALI #1)
A reporter investigates the death of his professor, only to stumble upon a conspiracy that is bigger than he had imagined.
Hyder Ali is working as a reporter for the Daily Times. Eric Freeland, his old professor and mentor, is found hanging inside his home. Freeland’s daughter, Jessica, shows up asking for Hyder’s help. She believes her father was murdered.
Detective Tom Nolan is assigned the Freeland case. He is an alcoholic who would rather sit in a bar and get drunk than work on the case.
What looks like an apparent suicide soon turns into something more sinister when Hyder, Jessica, and Nolan begin searching for the truth.

It was time well spent. This author is very good at creating characters that you easily relate to and root for! His skills at pulling two seemingly different plots into one is rare and keeps you wanting to know what comes next!

Great read
The stories all held my interest. Couldn't put it down. Want to read more of his books. Wish more were free on Kindle.

These books need lots of work. They are clunky and not easily read, they do not flow smoothly.

These are all well written, but of the three, the Martin Rhodes series is the one that appeals to me most. I'll want to continue with that series; undecided on the other two.
