"Fear the Reaper", by David Housewright





A Mac McKenzie Mystery book # 23

If you are a classic P.I. fan you will enjoy this one. I assure you even if it’s you first experience reading works by this author you will fit right in and not be lost, I know I did, I stepped right in and I enjoyed every moment, although reading this installment piqued my interest for the previous ones….

While visiting his friend in Minong Flowage Mac and his friend dropped in at local winery tasting room for some chat and wine when a man barged in carrying an AR-15. Bobby an officer in the Homicide Unit immediately recognizes the danger and the two sprung into action to take him down. Unfortunately, Wisconsin is an open-carry state…. Their actions started a whole new ball game…Afterall what appears to be a mass murder attempt may be something else……you have to read this book and see what develops…..enjoy.

I enjoyed this story a great deal. It is a fast paced and quick read filled with suspense. I like Mac, he is bad-ass so determined no matter what the cost to himself to do the right thing and along the way he entertains us. There are a lot of people populating this story it may be a bit confusing at times to place them, don’t worry you will do so.

This is a very engaging story giving us a few twists and turns some I could guess others not so much but what I liked the most is how Mac untangled the mystery and how the story is intercepted with Mac’s” inner voice” …pretty entertaining. Boy the man loves to express his thoughts out loud…fun book. I could go on but I will spare you.

My thanks to St. Martin’s Press/Minotaur for this ARC
