Taking the time to go through my TBR has allowed me to find some gems. This is one of them and because of it I will probably be seeking out more in the Lei Crime series. This is a fast paced read that is high on action and energy as the clues are flying and being revealed as fast as the body count is growing. Is it murder is it not? Well that what is starts with but by the time it's over the claws and the greed have reared their ugly heads. Great read filled with great characters and a little fu

Two of my favorites in the Lei Crime series: Vanessa and Lei are involved in a mystery in Hana, Maui on an estate of a Famous singer. Involves Murders, and no one can leave this mansion because of the
storms and heavy rains, so we have quite a few people/suspects with lots of action and mystery. Very interesting story with twists and turns. This novella keeps you interested and is hard to put down. Super story Scott Bury. Keep them coming.

A murder of a former famous country singer, Steven Sangster, brings FBI agent to Maui to help Detective Lani Ferreria with the case. While they are investigating the murder someone fires a shot at them. Stolen songs recently written by the dead singer, multiple murders, drugs and infidelity adds to the suspense of this novel.

I'll admit up front that police procedurals aren't ordinarily my cup of tea. I'm a sci-fi and fantasy guy. After reading "Dead Man Lying," however, I may have to re-think that. The crimes were interesting and the plot was filled with twists aplenty. The characters, especially Detective Lei Texeira and FBI Special Agent Vanessa Storm, the two main ones, are fully developed and fun to tag along with as they try to get to the bottom of who's behind the killings at the Sangster estate. One of my fav

I was drawn in from the beginning to one of the new additions of the Lei Crime Kindle World series novellas by Scott Bury. It's fast paced-something mystery lovers can relate to-and a fun read full of twists and turns and nefarious characters. FBI Special Agent Vanessa Storm and Lex Texeira team up to solve a series of murders on the estate of a country western has-been singer in Maui. Family greed, multiple self-serving likable and unlikeable characters keep us guessing until the end. I'm intri
