"This series just keeps on getting better." - Amazon review
Reed returns in a holiday tale!
It’s Christmas time, and Denver private investigator Reed Ferguson’s family and friends are coming into town. But when a con artist swindles his delightfully naïve friend Ace Smith out of some money, Reed steps in to see if he can find the culprit. This leads him to a devious bell-ringing Santa and much more. Can Reed wrap up this mystery before his holiday festivities begin, or will his holly jolly Christmas Eve turn fatal?
Note: Ace in the Hole is a 25,000-word novella in the Reed Ferguson world. It is set after Road Blocked in the timeline.
With a Bogie-wannabe detective, a dose of humor, and a clever homage to film noir, you won't want to put this mystery down. From the award-wining author of This Doesn't Happen In The Movies.
Great for fans who love a fast-paced, humorous read, without a lot of swearing or sex.
More Great Reviews of this private investigator series:
Kirkus Reviews: The promising kickoff to Pawlish's comic mystery series, starring far-from-perfect private investigator Reed Ferguson. Pawlish earns high marks for plot construction, with twists and turns naturally unfolding as Ferguson, inexperienced but not incapable, feels his way through the case. A good-humored mystery series worth following.
5 star review: Oh how I’ve missed the Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe characters that saw me with a flashlight in the dead of night flipping pages to see what happened next. Thank you Ms. Pawlish for bringing back to life this long-lost art of the detective battling against all odds and getting to the bottom of things. Maureen with zencherry book reviews
