case develops, Jake discovers that a similar murder has been committed in Canada. Liaison with the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police develops a possible intriguing suspect. The ultimate identity of the murderer will keep the reader turning pages until
the final page.”
One reader of The Tanning
Bed Murders said, “love a good mystery! This book was slow to get started...after the first 27 pages I
was about to give up, but then, it just flew! Very detailed, cop based, thriller, with a great twist. Very descriptive, without
the CSI mumbo-jumbo that can sometimes loose a reader of mysteries. This was a long book, but it didn't take me long to finish
it after I got into it. So, my advise is don't quit on this one. It is well worth the 500+ pages of material. Also makes me
want to visit the great northwest, with its magnificent settings. Hope there is more from this author.”
One reader of The Tanning
Bed Murders said, “This is a very detailed, precise 545-page novel that keeps you guessing along the way.
The author is obviously an experienced detective and shares all his knowledge and investigative skills. The main character
is Jake Lowry who has moved from a high-crime-rate city in California to enjoy his retirement in beautiful Coeur d'Alene in
Northern Idaho. Jake soon finds himself back working as a deputy sheriff for Kootenai County with a German-born partner Gunter
Lenca. Then the story takes off with the brutal murder of a scion of a prominent family. There's more than the usual cast
of characters, and the reader stay glued to the developments from page to page. I liked how the author outlined the characters
just before the first chapter. It helped me keep track. I enjoyed it and recommend it to others who want a cerebral and realistic
novel to tackle. Good job by the writer.”
