PRAISE FOR THE THRILLERS OF R.J.
WITNESS CHASE
“Witness Chase is a terrifying, gripping cross between James Patterson and John Grisham. Jagger has created a truly killer thriller.”
--J.A. Konrath
BAD CLIENT
“As engaging as the debut [Witness Chase], this exciting blend of police procedural and legal thriller recalls the early works of Scott Turow and Lisa Scottoline.”
--Library Journal
LAWYER TRAP
The author "builds suspense effectively, and his hero is both likable and multidimensional. A too-little-known hard-boiled series that deserves attention."
--Booklist
PRETTY LITTLE LAWYER
A “clever and engrossing mystery tale involving gorgeous women, lustful men and scintillating suspense.”
--Foreword Magazine
ATTORNEY'S RUN
“Part of what makes this thriller thrilling is that you sense there to be connections among all the various subplots; the anticipation of their coming together keeps the pages turning.”
--Booklist
CLIENT TRAP
Nick Teffinger "knows he shouldn’t let a woman get in the way of investigating his latest case, but that’s the way this homicide detective rolls. *** A throwback to the era of Mike Hammer and Shell Scott, [Teffinger] is old school all the way—and that means good retro fun.”
--Booklist
NEVER DEAD
“This is one of the best thrillers I’ve read yet.”
--New Mystery Reader Magazine
ANCIENT PREY
"A well told tale with a masterful blend of intrigue, murder, greed, lust, and that little touch of horror will keep you reading."
--New Mystery Reader Magazine
A TWIST OF SIN
Denver homicide detective Nick Teffinger "leaves for Japan on an unsanctioned pursuit. As [Teffinger] draws closer to the killer, more victims are discovered, and the pattern of a twisted murderer revealed. Drawn into the intrigue is a cast of provocative characters who move in and out of Tokyo’s gritty underworld. Verdict This fast-paced book offers fans of commercial thrillers a twisty, action-packed thrill ride."
--Library Journal
This book "is creative and captivating. It features bold characters, witty dialogue, exotic locations, and non-stop action. The pacing is spot-on, a solid combination of intrigue, suspense, and eroticism. A first-rate thriller, this book is damnably hard to put down. It’s a tremendous read.”
--Foreword Reviews
CHINA DOLL
“Another masterpiece of action and suspense."
--New Mystery Reader Magazine
ALLEY LAWYER
“I love the way this man writes! I adore his style. There is something about it that makes me feel as if I’m someplace I’m not supposed to be, seeing things I’m not supposed to see and that is so delicious.”
--Rebecca Forrester, USA Today Bestselling Author

Awesome
I really enjoyed reading this book. The line of victims was well developed. It was interesting to see how the victims were related. The story flowed well keeping me interested and not wanting to put the book down.

Intriguing
A good mystery that you didn't expect the twist in the end. I would read the next book in the series.

This is a quick read, which is great for a cross-country plane ride.
Overall, this book is inconsistent. I had a hard time getting into it because of the tone, the switching of using first name and last name for each character, and because of the jagged writing style. After a few chapters, I got used to it, but I didn't really like it. I kept reading, which was good because it got better. Because it's fast paced, the author doesn't offer much in the way of character development. The reader can catch facts about people on the fly.
The plot was pretty good once it all came together. I didn't particularly like any of the characters. The writing remained jagged with splashes of sarcasm. There are a lot of characters to follow, but they all make sense in the end.
If you like mysteries/thrillers, this is worth a try.

If you like noir movies, then R.J. Jagger is the author for you. In Witness Chase, it is a race against time when a woman is dead and another has gone missing. Throw in a couple of lawyers and a faked homicide and you've got a really great mystery/thriller. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a page-turner.

Great book! As I expected, a page turning thrill ride and I can't wait to continue reading more from this author. Each chapter is written like a new camera scene in a movie and makes you easily visualize everything. Definite A+!

Great crime drama! Enjoyed the twists and turns but still wondering what the fascination about coffee is all about?
