Lisa Sprague (Librarian)

"A fast-paced, compelling read."
Maureen Ellis (Reviewer)

"Jones is not a truly bad guy - he fits about midway up the ladder of actual crooks and his scams and money laundering schemes are basically harmless. He has a knack for finding himself in the middle of deals, and as a middleman he shines. Unfortunately a couple of the very bad criminal bosses get him wedged into deals he is not comfortable being involved in, and he is able to use his knack in a meaningful way towards getting himself out of the line of fire. And with the help of sweet old Aunt Mimi and DI Hernandez he is able to keep himself alive..."
Bonnye Reed Fry (Reviewer)

"Totally enjoyable... Jones was a well-fleshed out character and his adventures were fun to read about. A great book."
Janet’s Book Corner

"Jones lives to make a deal. Got something you need to sell? Call him. Aunt Mimi will take the message. He sees papers change hands for a big envelope of money and decides to get in on the action. This is one transaction he may not survive."
Marie Angel (Reviewer)

"I hope to read more books by this author."
Darren Martin (Reviewer)
