The Poacher's Son (Mike Bowditch, #1):
"I've read several books in the Mike Bowditch series, but I've missed the first ones. So, I was thrilled to have time to listen to the audiobooks. I quite enjoyed this first book in the series, I knew by reading the later ones about what happens to Mi"

The dialogue and action were so shrouded in euphemism, so opaque in meaning and intention, alternatively dull and worrisome, that no one could decide what the play was about, if they understood it, let alone enjoyed it. I can't help but think Cols" Read more of this review » |

This one felt like a "breather" to me. Take a break from the usual cops-and-robbers detective mystery and write something offbeat. Virgil is a great protagonist. Smart, personable, high integrity, great sense of humor, marches to his own drummer. Sand ...more |

"Minnesota state investigator Virgil Flowers is working diligently on a case involving Florence ‘Ma’ Nobles and her sons selling counterfeit antique lumber. Of course part of the reason that Virgil is working so hard is that Ma is very attractive and "

“I apologize if I've rated your book but not left a review. I've noticed lately that some of my reviews are disappearing after a day or two. It may be a tech issue, might be operator error (me) but I always intend to leave at least a short comment along with a rating.”

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
