Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: Murder Manual was my second Steven Womack book, the first was Chain of Fools. I started reading at 6:00 in the evening and didn't put it down until I finished it at midnight! Steven Womack's characters are so believable I felt like I couldn't stop reading until I found out what happened to them. The only other author that can make me read like that is Clive Cussler. Now I have two favorite authors!

Summary: Wonderfully written, wildly entertaining
Review: This is my favorite sort of detective novel, one with colorful characters and a hero who is all-too-human, told with clarity and grace. What an excellent read. If you like books by James Lee Burke, you'll like this even more. Highly recommended.

Summary: Addicting read
Review: Womack's latest tale involving the down on his luck private investigator Harry James Denton. This tale has many changes for Denton in the near future(i.e. next book), which I'll leave to the reader to discover what they are. This tale starts off with Harry trying to earn money and on the fringes of being bankrupt. Debating on quitting the P.I. business, Harry comes across a client who wants to catch her very wealthy and famous husband ( who is the writer of a #1 book ) having an affair with his secretary. When Harry gets there though he finds the writer murdered and he becomes the prime suspect. Harry must solve the murder so as to vindicate himself. I felt the book was well-written and I bulletted through the text. However, I found the story a little uneven: the police naming him as the #1 suspect was always shaky at best, and then there were a few other side-track stories going on which added tension yet seemed to detract from the over all effect of Harry being the #1 suspect. I did thoroughly enjoy the book and am eagerly waiting for the next installment in this series (which moves to Reno).
