Review: Nurse turns dectective in this chic-lit mystery
Rating: 3 out of 5

A Good Man Gone was a good enough tale, albeit superfluous with unnecessary details (inappropriate and unauthorized photos getting posted on the Internet) bearing no relevance to the story.Well written with a smidge of humor thrown in, A.W. Hartoin proves talented and I will read the next novel to see if it's more succinct without meaningless characters thrown in that muddled the story for me.Mercy is a competent and sassy lead character, and if Hartoin had cut out her uncle and his Neanderthal pal who acted like Mercy was a nincompoop, I would have given this four stars. If a book character is smart, don't allow others (especially moronic types) to degrade said intelligent character.  In real life, savvy chicks always have a diplomatic yet condescending comeback that insults idiots without them ever realizing they've had a verbal dunce cap thrown on their head via one sentence.Again, the writing is good enough to make me read the next book in the series!
