"Dirt Dealers", by A.W. Kaylen



Heather Chase FBI # 0.5

This novella of 85 pages or so was a promotion to introduce us to the author and his series. I received this prequel through Bookfunnel at no cost.

This sort story has quite a punch and is said in somewhat crude and choppy language while Heather tries to work with her fellow Agents. She seems smarter than them, analysing the situation before jumping to conclusion. This mystery is about sex scandal, a string of murders and a secret no one wants to reveal, an ordinary case of course given to a female Agent....something is not right and Heather uses her instinct to solve the puzzle and wrap up the murder case...

The storyline is captivating enough, active and provides some twists to derail us, suspense is there to keep the guessing game on and manages to do so till the very end. So-so characters very stereotypical, nothing special come out of them. I would say it is the run of the mill mystery/police procedural. Good but not exceptional.
