I owe thanks to Bill Crider for posting on these two books HERE and HERE. They are the first two books in the PI Carney Wilde series. Five more followed these two.
I love PI novels, have for a long time, and are always happy to learn of new ones, whether really new or just to me. These two were especially good and, as I said, thanks to Bill for posting on these. Had never heard of him before reading these. Read his reviews(his voice is better than mine and then go find these two. I need to get off my butt and trace down the rest of them.
There’s one place we differ somewhat in our habits. I like PI books but they’ve never been a mainstay of my reading like SF, Fantasy and westerns. I actually don’t read a lot of straight mysteries at all. I like the adventures more than the puzzles.
That’s the way it should be, Charles. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my years, it’s that one can have overlapping interests with friends and, at the same time, different likes. That’s why there is such a wealth of books out there, something for every direction folks might strike.
