Each of the books in this series is better than the last. The characters are developing and their interactions add to the plot. The plot has enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. The writing style is easy to read and the pages fly by.

Wasn’t too bad of a read. Too much of unnecessary descriptions of things that didn’t matter. Kept using the word “mope” for law breakers. Author should have looked up the definition of mope before throwing it into every other sentence!!

Excellent

This story can only originate from an author who has experience in this kind of plot. I highly recommend this novel. Very entertaining and I learned a thing or 2.

Excellent storyline but lots of grammatical mistakes. Proof readers need to do a better job. Sentences ending with no punctuation and bad spelling. Good thing it was a good storyline.

I planned to read Coins of Death over the course of a week, in between several projects. But this well-paced and intriguing tale hooked me on the first night and captivated every available moment until I finished. Both of the lead detectives had exceptional depth which was revealed through a very compelling subplot. I'm a fan of mystery/crime novels that have the quality of believability, and this one delivered big-time.

Interesting Plot

How all these cases come together in the end shows how just a few clues can go a long way toward solving cases when the right LEO is on the case. Showing how the different agencies have their own agenda really gives the book credibility Thank you for a pleasurable afternoon of reading!

I really like his books. The main characters are well developed - love that one is a female cop that is nicknamed "Kickass".
