What Am I Reading Wednesday (4/25/2018)
Hello, Writing Desk Readers!
I am so pleased to share this week's pick for What Am I Reading Wednesday. Not only because I've known JD Allen for several years now and have always admired her work in the writing community, but also because JD and I have teamed up to bring you something very exciting!
You'll have to wait until the end of the post to find out though!
Title: 19 Souls
Author: JD Allen
First Reading: Yes!
Initial Impression: A PI named Jim Bean working in Las Vegas? What could possibly go wrong?
Final Thoughts: I can't wait to see what's next in the Sin City Series!
If there's only one thing I can say about JD Allen's debut mystery novel, 19 Souls, it's this:
I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!
19 Souls is the first novel in Allen's new Sin City Series, centered around a somewhat down on his luck Private Investigator named Jim Bean. That's right, Jim Bean.
Making a living, such as it is, in Las Vegas, Bean's line of work is largely dominated by stakeouts on cheating spouses and way too much scotch. So, what's a PI to do when a beautiful young woman calls him up and offers a lot of cash to help find her long-lost brother? Sounds like easy money, right?
Wrong. Very, very wrong.
As always, we are in a Spoiler Free Zone here at The Writing Desk Blog, so you'll have to go grab a copy of 19 Souls for yourself to see what happens next. I can promise, you won't see it coming!
