Review: A wonderfully creative story with booze and smokes

I believe this is my first DarkFuse read.  Having just joined in late December 2013.  This novella starts out with the long time BFF of the protagonist, Joe,  being killed by a fellow police officer.  Joe is an Internal Affairs officer with the police department and of course is called to investigate the killing.  Joe is determined to find the reason for his friend's death.  <br/><br/>I enjoyed this quick read.  However I felt the reason for Joe's need to find the reason for his friend's death was sort of forgotten.  I realize Joe got involved in something he nor none of the readers were expecting.  I felt the story never really told of this...maybe that was the way it was suppose to be, I'm not sure.  <br/><br/>I LOVED the characters in this story.  Joe was a typical policeman and was not going to believe any thing outside the ordinary.  He seems to grow into thinking outside the box.  The two older ladies Joe met were wonderfully described.  I could see both of them in my mind's eye.  Even though they both were older, they were so different.  The other gentleman, I could feel his frustration and intensity.  Even the first part of the book was described well, that is the characters.<br/><br/>I can see discussing this story with others, but I would rather not ask questions or comment on certain aspects of the book here because of spoilers.<br/><br/>I am not sure if 4 stars are fair to this author.  However, I'm not feeling 5 stars for the story.
