I have read 2 of the three new books I bought and downloaded this week. I will promo the 3rd one later. The Authors are friends of mine and I swear they planned this when they released them around the same time....ain't they supposed to space them out so we can savor them like fine wine rather than load up what you can dodging the heavyweights at the buffet line at Golden Corral?
Whoever said retirement was quiet never met John Cronin...
The old man may have retired for the final time from the Sheriff’s office, but there are still cows to run, court cases to testify at, and consultation calls to tap decades of experience. And that’s not even counting the cold cases he’s still trying to solve...
With his granddaughter Jesse running the gun store and managing the ranch books, and her husband leaning how to fill Cronin’s shoes on investigations and arrests, John is keeping busy training the next generation, while settling a few old scores!
This is a blurp from the book on Amazon. I have read all of J.L Curtis's offering and they are all good. This is number 6 of the trilogy...yeah let that sink in...the storyline and material was good enough that it way passed the initial thought of 3 books...3 books HAH, we got 3 more out of the series, and the last one is "Sunset" and it closed up a lot of loose ends, but the ending is vague enough that if J.L wanted to, he could add a "Lucky Number 7"...Just a thought Jim.
Well anyway the "Gray Man" series is a story of a retired deputy Sheriff/investigator of a Texas Sheriff Dept named John Cronin, who is a Vietnam Veteran, and also a veteran of the drug and cartel wars in South America in the 1970's and later. The story also has his granddaughter who he has raised and she is also law enforcement and run the ranch and the gun store/range on the property. The protagonist are what we on the south call "Good People", you would love to have them as neighbors and friends. I have gotten to know all the characters in the series and I feel like they are old friends and comfortable like a favorite coat. Well worth the read.
Never cheat on a succubus.
Martin Shelby's latest client is a woman out to hurt her husband where it matters most to him - his pride. She's teamed with the best lawyer in town, and The Boogeyman is out to find the evidence to turn her shark loose in divorce court.
But indulging a taste for younger women isn't the only shady thing her husband's been up to, and the blood in the water is all too real as the body count starts mounting.
A bit of background, Martin Shelby is a PI or private investigator and he hangs his shingle in Louisville Kentucky and some of his clients deal with supernatural events, in this book, Zombies. If you live in the Louisville Area, you will recognize some of the scenery because Tom actually lives in the area. I spent a lot of time in that area because my best friend transferred to Kentucky Truck Plant from Atlanta Assembly plant and I went up there quite a few times to visit him and my other friends but I digress. Well anyway a lady hires Martin to get dirt on her husband whom she is convinced that he is screwing around, and a regular PI assignment veers into the supernatural. Well worth the read. It will help if you get the first 2 books also, it will help in providing background. Although this book can stand alone, it makes more sense to read the others.
