Except for some proofreading errors in the ebook edition, this was a great book!

Going to be a Good Series

Enjoyed reading this first of what so hope will be a long series. He does need to use more contractions because everyday people use them. Some passages were just too stilted and structured. Also a couple of glitches that should have been caught in editing, one where he used his knife to open the back door of the murdered deputies house, then went down the hall to examine the back door. Woopsl
And how is that an ex Texas Ranger who'd worked out of Houston was a Dodgers fan? In Texas, you're an Astros or Rangers fan! DODGERS?
