I received a copy for an honest review.This book is really 3 in 1.  The first, FORGIVING SOLOMON LONG, is about a ganster who is forgiven for the murder he committed, and it (forgiveness) drove him nuts!  There is a lesson here for all on forgiveness and how we should give it freely, even if we don't know how it effects the other person.DELIVER US FROM EVELYN:  This book continues to follow detectives Griggs and Charlie.  The Flim Flam man in this story is a hoot!  There are a lot of twists and turns to keep the reader interested.TRIBULATION HOUSE:  This is a fanciful (ok, maybe not so much) story that centers around one man and his believing that the world will end on September 17, 2007.  After all, his pastor told him so.  This book is more comical than the other two.  It carries the message that we really do not know when the Lord will return so don't go and blow the kids' college fund.These three books remind me of the old gangster shows that used to be on TV when violence was regulated.  The author does not go into great details on the actual actions of the mob.  The dialog is entertaining to say the least.  However, I like to read a variety of books and to read this trilogy all at once was a bit bothersome.  Especially in the third book, I tired of all the repeating of dialog.  I know the one gangster was portrayed as a dummie, but after a while his partner's threats were overdone.  This trilogy was a relative quick read and humorous in spots at the expense of both the good guys and the bad guys.
