Dirt in Colorado is real hard to break up.When a friend is shot, the narrator comes to help.While Z is in the hospital fighting for his life, the narrator is working to save his friend’s dying crop.But thieves have other plans.There is a sense of justice in all of us. But how deep does it go? How deep should it go? Is revenge really justice? What would you do?The narrator is back in the game but it’s not the same game he left four years ago. He’s trying hard to catch up with the new technology of concentrates and hydroponic systems. But one thing hasn’t changed, the paranoia and fear. It’s back.So are the auditory hallucinations. ‘CH’…the sound of dirt as it hit plastic sheeting. He hears it when he closes his eyes. He hears it every night. ‘A Killing in Colorado’ is not your usual thriller. If you want normal, read something else.
I read all 6 books in the Forced Entry series. Like the Trunk series, Mr. Marshall started with a great concept and then it got progressively worse. That’s why my ratings go from High to Low, as you get further in the series. The first thing that’s disappointing, is that each “book”, is like a long chapter in a normal novel, and it only addresses a portion of the longer story. So you get shorted on your investment. What’s really bad is that Mr. Marshall changes the main character from the 5th to the 6th book, and brings in a whole host of new faces. There’s not even any integration, or hand off, if you will as to how these stories relate. Like I said, it’s disappointing. The characters themselves are rich. The scene settings are somewhat lacking. The stories, as told are entertaining. Just know what you’re getting into before you start reading. I regretted buying the box set. I thought the series would be good; based solely on the first book.
This time it's a friend who's just like family. Same paranoia. Have to get the business running again, have to move on. Then it's the family that got pulled in which causes the problems.
