You may know the name Bob Moats.  He is the author of the Jim Richards Murder series.  I read Santa Murders last year, have a signed copy of Trick or Treat Murders waiting for me to read it, and even have the first three books of his on my Kindle.  This book is the first in a new series he's trying, a cop turned private investigator.I really like this story.  I didn't have a doubt in my mind that I would.  I like the way Bob does characters.  He makes them interesting, makes you want to learn even more about them.  And without characters, you wouldn't have anyone in the story you're telling, which would be quite boring if you think about it.The story begins with Doyle (love his name and the reason behind it, by the way) in trouble for roughing up a bad guy.  Then he gets in trouble again while dealing with a kidnapping.  He is one of those tough rough cops who doesn't listen and breaks the rules, but does it attempting to do good.  He gets help from Oscar (who's attitude I love) and, when he quits and Oscar retires, he opens up a PI firm and invites Oscar to be a part of it.  When a young lady comes in looking for her dad, they have their first case and they do what they have to in order to find the man.  As the book progresses, you learn more and more about the characters and reading about their investigation (and the tactics they take) is really entertaining and interesting.Well done, Bob.  I'm looking forward to book #2. :)Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
