Had a difficult time writing this book. Though I've written about 30 novels, the imposter syndrome kicked in. It turned out to be much better than expected and everyone involved thinks it may be the best book I've penned

This is the first book I've read by the author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pacing was spot on and the character development excellent. I raced through the book anxious to see how the ending came together. Bravo!

IMHO, not one of his best. Started out w good premise but it lost me...

This Luca Mystery took longer to write but I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It's probably the best in the 15 book series, but readers will decide that.

The Barrow Case - We all remember our firsts. The first time you kissed a girl or touched her in places we weren't allowed. Your first job, your first you know what and especially, for a homicide detective, your first murder case.

My first case was a cut and dry one. A wife had caught her husband cheating and plunged a steak knife into his chest. No need to conduct a meaningful investigation. The woman he was in bed with, witnessed it and the wife admitted to the murder. It never felt like a solve and though seeing a man killed in his own bed was something I'd never forget; it didn't change me.

For me, it was the second case that altered everything. For years I was haunted by it. Even moving from New Jersey to Naples, over a decade ago, hadn't eased the pain. Thirteen hundred miles away and it was still talking to me. Sometimes it was just a whisper and others, it shouted.
