Haven't read a private detective story for years,your plot layout is coming along well ,good stuff
Your story reminds me of an adult version of the "Rockford Files." I loved that show. I am enjoying the bantering and dialogue between your characters. Looking forward to the next installment.
A-1 job.
And I'll bet Jess has great gams. Dying to read next chapter...wait, make that aching to read. No need to get carried away.
Fantastic beginning to a mystery. And not unlike a Mickey Spillane mystery, an abundance of names to wrangle.
My attention while reading will be on the qui vive
Really good story in the Spillane kind of way. I’m looking forward to the second chapter.
Well you certainly have my attention. Well played start. Now let's see the ending.
Loved the development, banter and story progression. Sounded just like the kind of PI story I was expecting to read in this genre: a bit seedy, a bit tough, a bit rough and certainly plenty of baddies. However, I hope you make this poor guy better at self-defense, as to be a former cop...he seems extremely weak in that area. 5
Awful. Awfully good that is. Darn, you got me talking like Harry. If I make an author smile, then I've done ok.
Excellent. You have me hoping that every other male in the story comes to a bad end. Have to say, though, that your PI seems a little under-powered (unless absorbing punishment is his special ability).
