Reviews: So Far so Good
With the latest Darcy Farthing mystery adventure novel, A Current Deception, out in ebook and print versions, the reviews are starting to come in. I'm gratified that so far, most are 4 or 5 stars. More importantly, the reviewers' comments are encouraging to me. When readers say they feel that they could picture the characters in their settings as if they were there, it's about as good as it gets. The other comment that always makes me want to sit down and work on the next novel, is that the pages turned and turned and the reader found it difficult to stop.
With so much competition in the mystery genre, it is difficult for authors to develop a following. I know, because I read mystery series myself and with limited time, I definitely lean towards my favorites. When looking for something new, I want a unique approach in addition to a traditional murder-mystery.
My greatest hope is that the Darcy Farthing adventures with the protagonist's gunless crime fighting, edgy humanist orientation, quirky extended family and friends, and science and exotic travel tidbits, add up to a fresh and appealing series.
