The Next Act, by Jim and Pete Jessen, is a series of 20 investigative crime stories that follow Jim Jessen throughout his many roles as a police investigator and a private investigator.  Many of the stories have a humorous side to them as well.  Each of the chapters cover a different case that Jim worked through, and many of Jim's cases were interesting in the aspect that they were different and not your usual investigative cases.  When you think of this kind of thing, it's almost automatic that you go to the thought of murder, kidnapping, drug investigations, etc.  Many of Jim's cases discussed were sort of off the wall, and it was in that aspect that I really found this book interesting.I enjoyed reading The Next Act, and felt that it was a good break between books.  It was a quick and easy read, as it was light.  Jim's character is easily likable, as you can tell that he really wants to help and to also empower others.  I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a good, light read, as this definitely fits that build.  Good Job the the author!
