A bit stereotyped but a nice appetizer for a JD Robb book I have on my Kindle...
Woodie, Thanks!
A minor comment,
"I kicked the two pistols on the ground in front of me into the gutter. Making sure my weapon was safe, I holstered it."
Glocks do not have a traditional safety, as there is a lever in front of the trigger that acts as a safety until you press on the trigger to shoot. If you meant he ejected a cartridge and left the chamber empty to make it safer, you should have said that.
That said, a nice story, kind of predictable, but well written and I liked the character.
he did not say he put a safety on, only that he made his weapon safe
Really enjoyed this and wish there were more like it on this website.
The school teacher girlfriend, who doesn't appear to mind a good fight, was an interesting difference, but then so is the doctor in your Rollie Chambers stories. It would be nice if she gets an expanded role in future stories, hoping there will be more.
To anon - You don't make a Glock "safe" other than to holster it. The safety device is always in the "safe" position and requires no action. Yes, I agree you could interpret the sentence in several ways, but since the author identified a specific model of Glock as being carried by Mr. Steele.....................?
A simple but well plotted smoothly written old fashioned enjoyable story. Man you got the Spencer type plot and character down. You certainly could use your Mr. Steele and Abby as Spenser and Susan. Instead of a shrink, like me, Abby is an erudite lit prof. Lots of ways to use that for discussions of philosopht and life. All you need is a Afro-American or massive white boy actor that kicks ass. It was so enjoyable to read. Thanks. A five. More please.
Not enough sex, in fact there was no sex at all, so I had to give you a four.
Otherwise it was a damn fine story.
You continually post stories to this (and other) erotic web sites, and yet seem to take pride in the fact that there is no sex in your stories.
So what the fuck is your malfunction?
Do you feel too high and mighty to write porn, or do you just lack the ability? Perhaps you'll do better in the non-erotic category, or just continue to post on the non-erotic sites and leave us old pervs alone.
A 350 chevy engine is a small block not a big block but other than that it was an interesting story.
Now the big block V8 was going to come in handy.
At first I thought this was a spoof on Mickey Spillane. But soon it appeared the author was serious, or at least trying to be. Maybe he read too many Dashiel Hammitt or Graham Greene novels? If so, he did not learn very well from the masters.
Anyway, this author has done some fine work. This is not one of them. Plot didn't make sense. Characters were too phoney and trite. He never engaged the reader. I'm sorry it was so long. I kept reading just to see how it ended, a poor choice on my part.
its funny when i see people complain about not enough sex in many fairly well written stories. literature is not about who did what with whoever. you sex crazed people should grow up. accept a story for what it is and not complain when it doesnt fit your narrow minded views.
thanks for the story, woodmanone. keep writing, i enjoy your stories but i really like your westerns.
Good read but I have a niggling little complaint. His rates are $100 a day? He triples the price because he doesn't like Mr. Worth. Is this set in the 50's? The Cardinals were in St. Louis. The Rams were in LA. A PI today would ask at least $1000 a day.
A great story was a pleasure to read will keep an eye out for anymore in the series
Second Read. Better than the first time. Very enjoyable. Good Tale!
All these armcahair qb's give me a pain in the ass. If you don't like ,don't read it. most of the aasholes can't write a check! But they still wan't to complain abnout chicken shit stuff or the famous "Grammar Errors".
Again Good Tale!

had me puzzled for a bit. But that is the sign of a good poker player or author
butch
I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from you.
Thank you for sharing!
Maybe he can end up happy and all that gooey stuff LOL
I like her too - got a thick outer skin - let's hope she has nice tasty middle heh.
As always I continue to think you spin a pretty good yarn. A few more episodes would do some of your loyal readers good, as in our enjoyment of following your stories, Thanks and Thanks again for your talent.
still a 10* story. why do'nt they let me vote?

...is a smallblock.
The smallest bigblock that Chevrolet made is a 400 cubic inch.
Great story and very enjoyable reading. The only thing I had a problem with with the part where Matt before he went one-on-one with Ralph said he was "Making sure my weapon was safe", Glocks do not have a manual safety but are made safe by taking your finger off the trigger. Otherwise it's ready to fire as soon as you put pressure on the trigger. Clocks are what are called Safe Action” pistols, but they don't have a manual safety.
Glad to see cheating Susan got her ass kicked on down the road.
Very good story, thanks, woodman. I hope you have more Matt Steele stories in your repertoire. I know I’m gonna have a look.
