The Last Call

I am 51 now and I suppose I really ought to know better! Once again I succumbed to the lure of the cheap offers in the Kindle Store and, like the reckless treasure hunter at the end of 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade', I chose poorly. Let's be honest, there is normally a reason why those books cost just 29 pence. This one was still a rip-off, even at that price!

A few years ago I stubbed my toe, breaking it, and spent several hours incapable of wrenching my mind away from the self-inflicted pain. Reading this novel was very reminiscent of that evening!

Feeble plot, implausible characters (particularly Bill Travis, the protagonist.narrator) and impenetrable prose.

Mr Wier certainly has a way with words! I love it when I read a story that flows so effortlessly and is not forced. Real conversations, great imagery. Looking forward to this series.

It is a mid-life crisis that leads Bill Travis down the road of this mystery. Fast read, well-paced. The characters were a little over the top but a mid-life crisis could do that to anyone. Memorable.

Bill Travis is hmmm. I guess the best way to describe him is a PI but helps people more to obtain favors. book really didn't describe how income is generated which was a problem for me. Very fun read though -- this was a free kindle download, so I couldn't go wrong. Will it entice me to run out and buy more titles by this author? Not particularly, but if I see another Bill Travis mystery on the bargain shelf I'd pick it up.

A financial advisor falls for his lovely client and is soon engaged in a terrorizing drive through Texas. Explosions galore.

Not bad -- kept me entertained.

Just about okay. Nothing special.
