A Doc White Adventure #1
Getting Greedy
Doc White, now retired from his former life as a spy, has moved to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands ostensibly to get some closure with a previous relationship. However, after finding retirement unsatisfying, he sets up shop as a private investigator and recruits Felicia, a former local cop who was driven off the force through no fault of her own.
While enjoying a local festival and still discussing the prospect of Felicia working with him, a Moku Jumbie, a traditional spirit-healer, stilt walker is shot dead on the street. And when the mother of the victim hires Doc and Felicia to find her son’s killer, they are drawn into a complex web of nefarious activities going on around the island. The case also brings Doc face to face with Elle, his ex-girlfriend who is now married with a house on St. Croix. As the case unfolds, it soon becomes apparent to Doc and Felicia that something bigger than the Moku Jumbie’s murder is going on. As they peel away the layers, and meet a diverse and interesting set of characters, the action ramps up as Doc and Felicia’s relationship begins to develop.
One part compelling, one part poignant, one part thought-provoking, Getting Greedy is a smart, funny book about the search for meaning and the ability to find it without getting caught.

Great read
This is the first book by this author I have read and I must say I loved it. Just sorry there isn't a Book 2 available right now. The story line is clear and uncluttered, the characters jump off the page and Doc White just resonates with me. I loved the book. While waiting for the follow up story I intend to dive in to the author's other novels.

Great read
This series by B.R.Snow is more serious then her other series but I still found myself wanting to know more about Doc. If you love a great mystery then this is a must read

Great start!
I am going to enjoy this series as much as The Thousand Doggies ! Snappy dialog; clean humor; interesting location and quirky characters. And, agreement about what should happen to all fentanyal.

Greedy needed to go!
Having read books by Snow, I was familiar with Doc. He's going to be a great character to follow in a series. The setting is great as well. Keep writing !
