Review: Did it again!

I've read every "Marty Singer" book by this author. And believe I reviewed each. The Spike is the latest. If you like Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch, or Scott Pratt's Joe Dillard series, but have not read any of the other "Singer" books by Matt Iden then you are missing out on a genre of fine reading. Great character development, terrific plot and just all around engrossing story telling are in this and all Iden's prior books in which Marty Singer, ex Washington MPDC detective goes about solving the crime.I do not deem it my prerogative to delve into the story line of the books I review, leaving that to others (than the author) to do. What I will say, honestly, is whether I think the book was not only good enough to warrant finishing it, but also good enough to take the time to turn in a review of it. I read a lot. Much more than I review, which is why when I review a book, it was, in my opinion, an exceptionally good read. Sure, there have been books I've reviewed but did not finish, or finished and just didn't get what the author intended and said so.However, in this instance, I can report The Spike was a fine, fine read.I heartily recommend The Spike along with all the prior Singer books to be well worth the time spent. Read them. I think you will agree.
