My love for tales of mystery and adventure began with my grandfather, a decorated World War I hero. I will never forget being introduced to his friend, a WWI pilot who flew across the skies at the same time as the feared, legendary Red Baron. My love of reading and storytelling eventually led me to write and it’s the best job I’ve ever had.

Just a Little Bit More.
Annie and Finn are insurance investigators and they are on another case. Nate Taylor, the minister of a church, has died in a car accident. Fortunately, there is a witness. The passenger who was in the car.
Finn checks the tire marks on the road and discovers that the car was airborne for a short distance. The passenger is a patient at the hospital and she will be able to tell them what was in the road causing the vehicle to crash.
Fortunately, for Annie and Finn, Annie is able to help solve the mystery.
Four stars. 💫💫💫💫

It maybe short, but it is packed with twists and turns. You wonder about the minister, when you find out who the passenger was. The wife, is adamant of how he keep his imagine clean, setting up guidelines. Was he protecting himself or someone else. What really happened, a great addition and looking for the next part.

The Case of the Wayward Ride
Good book. This short story is really short. At the time it gets really interesting it's over. It's harder to get a feel for the character s and the plot.

Charming short story
Finn & Annie both have disabilities. With Annie’s help, Finn is becoming more accepting of himself and welcoming to others. It’s a marvelous uplifting read in a time when we all need a lift.

These short Mini Mysteries are a lot of fun and easy to read in an hour or so.
Christopher Greyson has gone from full length exciting thrillers to these shorter "cozy" books. I enjoy them all.

Each of the books, The Adventures of Finn and Annie are quite short but delightful. An easy read, I have enjoyed them all. Great characters that would be nice to know in life.

Excellent and Needed
I loved reading a story where the main characters have a disability and are trying to overcome it and doing very well, thank you. It was as blessing.

interesting story...I can't believe these things happen in real life, but apparently they have.

Given the constraints of a short story, Greyson does a remarkable amount of low-key character development.

I really just love these minis! There is so much meaning and power packed into these quick reads. It really felt like we got to see more depth to Annie here. She is always so optimistic and positive, but we got a glimpse of some of her struggles here. I am so excited for the next one! These can't come out fast enough!

Cause and effect
Not quite as good as the previous. Plus again much shorter than I expected at only 68% of the page count. A fatal car accident, a passenger in hospital and a driver dead. The driver was a pastor and his wife can't believe that he would have had a single woman in his car let alone a woman with prostitution on her rap sheet. With Annie's car having muffler problems the two make their way to see the witness in his car (whilst he takes care off her car, unbeknownst to Annie). What will they find out from the witness? Will Annie's problem give them an extra clue?

Fun short mini-mystery cozy.
I love these little mini mysteries that take about a half hour to read. They are a nice diversion from a serious read and are excellent just when you want a quick change of pace.
In this episode, they are called on a scene on a car accident trying to unravel how and why a respected minister was killed in this car crash with a convicted prostitute in the passenger seat.
The friendly and caring chemistry between the main characters, Finn and Annie, is heartwarming. Though each of them have a disability, (he with a prosthetic leg, her being deaf) they are a humorous dynamic duo solving the mysteries together.

A car accident brings Finn to the scene, where he and Annie examine the tire tracks and run into the man’s widow. She tells them her husband would never have given the passenger, a woman who is likely a prostitute, a ride.
They go visit the woman in the hospital, and she gives them a brief story. When she gets a phone call, they step away, but Annie reads her lips and learns she got in the car after the man crashed.
Mystery solved, thanks to her lip reading abilities. Finn gets Annie’s car fixed, muffler noise averted. Laughter over a gross lunch, closeness achieved.

THESE LITTLE NIBBLES ARE TASTY!! Finn and Annie are a part of an insurance investigative team. Even with this being a very short story - Greyson shows his talent for bringing to life this duo. See how they process an accident involving a lady of the evening and a minister. "A copy of this book was provided free from the author with no requirements for a review. Comments here are my honest opinion."

Mini but so big...
I love this series. Just wish the stories were longer. Finn and Annie are a great team and just wonderful people. I can't wait to read their next case. Hope we get to see more of Annie's kids too.

Finn and Annie
I am enjoying these short stories. I wish they would go more personal than just job by job. Too short for me.
I like more depth. I really like these two as a couple.

Finn & Annie books are delightful
I love the mini-mystery series. Finn & Annie are exceptional characters. Their physical disabilities just continue to enhance their personalities and make the two of them totally believable.

I've enjoyed all these short stories. I like that you can read them in a half hour, fitting it in between other tasks.
