Midnight Investigations #2
The Sorcerer's Circle
Jason Wilder was wounded in his last encounter with the bad guys, but he's back on the job and ready for another run-in. He's just about to close up the private investigation office owned by his mother, Victoria, for the night, when an elderly man enters. His name is Elijah Messenger and he says someone is trying to kill him. Jason gives him a polite brush-off, but the next morning he learns that the old man has indeed been murdered.
It's a morning full of trouble. The mayor arrives asking Victoria for help. His daughter has become involved with a group of "devil worshippers" and he wants her pried loose. When Mom learns that the group was from Messenger's church, she turns the case over to Jason, but, as always, keeps out a maternal eye. Investigating the case forces Jason to juggle two a loving one with a beautiful single mother and a less-than-civil one with Police Officer Lori Banks, also referred to as "the Beast." If he can do that and avoid any more knife wounds, he'll be in good shape.
Michael Siverling offers another exciting private-eye novel, filled with the unique characters and stellar writing of his debut.

A private detective is about to close his office when an elderly man enters and requests help. It seems he first went to the police who referred him to this PI. His problem, he states, is that someone is trying to kill. him. The PI gives him a polite brush off. The next day, the old man is found murdered.
This is the 2nd mystery by this author, and regrettably so far, his only two. I hope he writes more.

This is a well written and exciting private-eye story ... a real page turner! I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend it. Although this is my first Siverling read, it's his second novel. I will definitely go back and read his debut novel.

I'm not a huge fan of mysteries, but, this was a great book! I really enjoyed it. It had true to life characters and a good plot that kept me going well into the night. Highly recommended. Good sarcasm of the characters too!

A nice change of pace from the recent romances I've been reading lately. Not gruesome, but a little mystery to mix it up a little. Not bad.
