Review: A good deal more than a cozy murder mystery...

I would say I personally thought this story was a little long drawn out, meaning it could have been several chapters shorter and still hold the reader's attention.  Mine wandered sometimes, but fortunately because of the story-telling style and the likeable, believable, main character, I was determined to get to the end to find out 'whodunnit'. Sam - a former cop, now private investigator - is asked to help with the mystery of a death that isn't what it first appears. The more Sam digs, the more someone is trying to get to him, probably to keep him at bay or to shut him up.  The danger level escalates and the intrigue increases as it appears another death looks suspicious, but are they connected?  Then yet another suspicious death is uncovered.  The plot thickens and Sam becomes embroiled in something completely unexpected.This story is very good despite my former comments, and is a good deal more than a cozy murder mystery as the author has a very good descriptive talent that lands you, in your mind's eye, exactly where he wants you to be - all the better to see the story unfold with appropriate dramatics.
