In Music there is a genre called "easy listening".  I think Mike Wells should be classified as "easy reading".  He writes the kind of stuff that you can pick up, lean back and along a splash of your favorite adult beverage, just enjoy.  You don't have to invest a lot in order to appreciate a Mike Wells book.  I'm not saying that there's a lack of entertainment value or good old fashioned suspense or intrigue.  Mike is able to carry the reader along without getting muddled down in twists and turns or introducing an overabundance of characters that more often than not only serve to befuddle the reader.In Lust, Money and Murder - Book One we read about Elaine Brogan, a daddy's girl, whose daddy commits suicide when wrongfully accused of passing counterfeit money.  The rest of the story follows Elaine as she plans retaliation on the man responsible.  Wells is able to morph into the mindset and attitude of a woman as few male writers are able.  I found this book fun, believable and left me wanting more.The seemingly effortlessness approach Mike Wells has with writing leaves me thinking that he writes like Harry Connick Jr. sings.  How great is that?
