Summary: Thrilling first novel
Review: A friend of mine bought this for me. Reading it, and enjoying it, I never thought it was a debut. This book is funny, exciting, and possibly one of the best reads I have experienced in a few years. If you like detective stories, this is a must have, period.

Summary: Worse book I've read in a long time...possibly worst ever.
Review: Career wise John Keegan is content with being a detective on the New York City police force; he has no
aspirations or desire for further advancement. His personal life, however, is practically non-existent and
leaves him with time to speculate about taking drugs to see if the high that accomplishes this is truly better
than sex, as he has been told by some of his less than upstanding friends. When a high profile suicide is
assigned to him and his very ambitious partner, Rick Cahill, John knows that he isn't going to have much free
time to speculate on anything other than the death of software millionaire, Ron Mullins. Was Mullins's death
actually a suicide or a murder? First time fiction author John Misak unravels SOFT CASE slowly - very slowly. Unfortunately the first half of
this story is "filler"; the author is setting up the characters that are pertinent to the tale, and a lot of characters
that just take up space. But if the reader can hold on, the action really gets interesting in the next half, and a
very good yarn unfolds. Review by: Betty Cox

Review: Drags...and drags...and drags. No action. Limited plot. Boring...Boring...Boring. All those who gave this "See Spot run" novel more than 1 star must not read much or live a very sheltered life. I have finished every book I have ever started but this one was a real chore. Don't waste your time or your money. Get an older Grihssom novel if you can't find anything else...like A Time to Kill. I warned you...

Summary: Wow
Review: I don't like mysteries that are formula based, ones that seem so similar to the other ones out there. Soft Case is a breath of fresh air, a mystery that kept me wonderng what would happen next. It is crafted perfectly, and paced just right. On top of that, I laughed constantly! This novel is funny. I don't mean it is a comedy, just that it had me stopping several times to laugh. This is a rarity. John Misak seems to know about police procedure as well. Detective John Keegan doesn't follow the book, but he is aware of it, and there were no instances where I thought the author was stretching reality to fit the story. Everything seemed realistic. If you enjoy mysteries, this is a book you should buy. It will satisfy you and keep you coming back for more.
