    • 3/5
      Murder in Music City--how's that for a sour note?
    • 3/5
      Enjoyable, light read about a detective, just starting out in the game, who is contacted by an ex-girlfriend who is concerned about threats made to her husband.
      Nothing too mind-bending and you feel like giving Harry a boot up the bottom to wake him up, but an amusing enough read.
    • 4/5
      I like the whole inept PI thing -- kind of a Rockford type. Lonnie was his Angel. I can see it. Not a fabulous plot but really likable protagonist and good supporting characters.
