After having read all titles in Mr. Marshall’s first series, I was patiently waiting for the next in that series when I found Mr. Marshall’s second mystery series!! Grabbed it before it could escape, devoured it and found it held as much enjoyment, in a different way, for me as his prior titles.
What I look for in mysteries: main characters that I enjoy (which could be for a variety of reasons), plots where the reader can only guess the ending, sometimes with or without a twist, but they all must have a BEAT. That BEAT is what keeps me turning pages until the end when the last page is closed and I can sigh and feel…..
WOW!!!
No this isn’t Steinbeck, Melville, Poe, I could go on but I think you get the drift…..
This is a wonderful series, the writing is good, the plot keeps on moving along, the main character, as well, as secondary characters, are engaging….You won’t be bored AND you will want to keep on reading one after the other as my sister-in-law and I have done…We are up to date and looking forward to #3 of Anna, which I have found out will be forthcoming this Dec.
(I get to have a birthday gift out of that one!)
Thanks so much to Evan Marshall for providing us readers with the gift of his imagination!
