Reviews strong for 'Murder, Key West Style'
When I published “Murder, Key West Style at the end of October, I knew from previous experience that REVIEWS of the book would be slow to register because so many of them would be wrapped and looking pretty with a bow, sitting under Christmas trees.
Well, the wrappings have come off, folks are reading their gifts and the REVIEWS are starting to roll in. I’m delighted to report that they are strong and paint a picture of a pretty darned good book. Every author needs REVIEWS, which are basically independent recommendations that can fuel sales. They help prospective readers decide if a book is something they might enjoy.
Of my five novels, this is the fastest I’ve reached the 20-review range. Five Stars is the top rating for REVIEWS. My average rating is 4.8 out of 5.
Below, you will find five of my top REVIEWS and my lowest rating, which is 4 Stars.
I hope you find the commentary helpful.
A Terrific Read – 5 Stars
Once again, my Christmas break has been enhanced by a well-spun yarn by Dave Vizard. Murder Key West Style is a very well done murder mystery investigated by journalist Nick Steele, who is a composite of several reporters I remember from the hey day of the Bay City Times. Dave does a great job of setting up a believable plot of murder for profit in the homeless community of Key West, Florida. Steele is relentless in pursuing clues surrounding the disappearance and death of a Bay County war hero, who spent may years homeless. The suspense is well crafted and the ending a surprise. This is a very enjoyable read. I highly recommend it to you.

I find it fun to read a good book and come upon familiar places as I read it. It makes the story even more interesting! I’ve read all of the Nick Steele books and have really enjoyed them and they held my interest to the end. They also give you pause to think of life situations mentioned in the books. No offensive language a plus. The author lives in my community, which makes his books even more special to me.

Murder Key West Style is a Winner – 5 Stars
Dave Vizard has mastered the art of storytelling. This is the fifth Nick Steele mystery and with the previous novels, I couldn’t put them down. The character development will have you feeling like you have met them before. Dave also brings forward topics that are relevant with a depth of understanding that gives the reader a perspective that can only be rooted out by years of investigative reporting. Great job, Mr. Vizard.

Fantastic read!!!! – 5 Stars
I couldn’t put this book down from start to finish. The story line really makes you have a different perspective about our homeless population, and I loved the details about the Key West area. After reading the book, I want to make a trip to the Keys again. Dave does a great job of describing the Key West vibe and the area. The characters are fun and I feel like I’m starting to know Nick Steele.

A wonderful read that also highlights an important societal issue – 5 Stars
This is the fifth in a series from a writer I feel is one of the best at “whodunits.” Each one of them follows the exploits of a newspaper reporter that is a bit of bloodhound, finding clues along the way in what appears to be a mundane story … or is it? They all feature an eccentric mix of secondary characters that never fail to disappoint as well. His books are fast-paced reads that often have a surprise ending. Key West Style is one of his best books! 5 Stars!

The author obviously knows the subject – 4 Stars
Great view of life on the streets. Hadn’t thought of the danger the homeless face I their carefree, not give a darned lifestyle. It was an eye opening, mind-jarring picture of life by the moment.
