We've already seen a few positive reviews posted on Amazon, and here are those reviews:
- Ray Flynt’s new Final Juror is a very enjoyable read. It’s the fifth in the Brad Frame series, and mystery readers who haven’t discovered the series should start reading it now. Brad and his associate Sharon Porter are private investigators in main line suburbs of Philadelphia. In Final Juror they are working separately, Brad serving on a jury in a murder case, and Sharon handling an investigation into the death of a member of a different jury years ago. The parallels between the cases develop throughout the novel, which has elements of a classic mystery, a procedural, and a courtroom thriller. The recurring characters are nice enough to like, complex enough to be worth thinking about. The details are dead-on without overwhelming the story, and the characters are vividly portrayed, even those making the briefest of cameos. Don’t be reluctant to read the book because there are previous books in the series. At no point did Final Juror assume knowledge of past books. Cryptic references to past events may lead you to choose to read the earlier books, and they certainly won’t detract from your enjoyment when you do.
- Simply put, a great book. I have read all of Ray Flynt's books, and this may be his best. Heartily recommended!
- I've read all of the Brad Frame mysteries and this was my favorite. It was obvious the author did his research regarding the jury selection and trial process, and in that sense it was enlightening and believable. Brad Frame's assistant Sharon had her own story thread which resulted in two mysteries in one. I got a sense that perhaps Mr. Flynt is preparing to send Sharon off to her own series of mystery novels. It's another great summer read, arriving just in time for the beach or the vacation hammock!
- Fans of mystery and adventure should give serious attention to this author. Mr. Flynt offers the fifth installment in his Brad Frame mystery series and it's an absolute winner. If you haven't tried this series before, now is the time to start!
- And finally, feedback I received via an e-mail: WOW! That was a great book! I couldn't put it down.
I certainly appreciate the positive feedback. FINAL JUROR is here just in time for your summer vacation!
Ray, your ability to unravel a mystery without revealing "whodunnit" continues to amaze me. I also loved your book "Kisses of an Enemy." The political intrigue was intense. Any plans to do another political thriller?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom. I'm contemplating another "stand alone" suspense novel, but expect to set it on a college campus and not in the political arena. I'm envisioning a structure similar to KISSES OF AN ENEMY with three viewpoint characters, shorter chapter length, etc.
