Win A Desperate Place For Dying (Garrison Gage, #2) Developed By Jack Nolte Digital Copy

and descriptive reading. Eagerly starting the third in the series now, It's been a while since I've been able to stay interested and finish a book, Awesome well written series. !! What can I say Another fun, quick read, Garrison Gage is a great curmudgeon of a character, This one has some decent twists and turns of a phrase, Im guessing Ill read three now, This is a good series and it was nice to see characters from the first book more fleshed out.
Zoe had a real presence in this book and although Im sad that Gage lost a girlfriend, it looks like the new one is promising!!
This book like the first one wrapped up really fast in the last three chapters but DAMN what a way to send off a villain! Hopefully we are past Zoes goth stage and she is prominent in bookThe Lovely Wicked Rain !
See you in Seattle!! An excellent followup!!

This second book in the Garrison Gage series is just as great as the first, possibly better in some ways.
This story has a greater sense of urgency and intrigue, The emotional drama spreads over a wider spectrum as well, And it's also likestories in one, . . the reappearance of Gage's wife's killer in his life and the search to find the killer of his former lover being the most prevalent storyline.
Throw in the teenage angst of his newly assumed daughter, the complexities of his relationship with a dropdead journalist whose career alone should be enough to have him running for the hills, said his unwavering wit especially at the worst of times and you see Gage at his best and worst! It's a great story and excellently crafted novel if you aren't bothered by the many editing errors that slow down your reading, requiring you to stop and briefly review to determine what the current sentence was supposed to say.
But it's a book well worth that minor inconvenience and distraction! Garrison Gage is retired, everybody knows that.
But when an exlover dies shortly after meeting with Gage, he's determined to find the killer, But life and the pursuit of justice is complicated by a visit from the paroled crime boss who killed his wife, an adopted teenage daughter who doesn't like to follow rules, and a girlfriend Gage can't quite figure out.
This is a greatnd novel in the series, I've been listening to these books and the narrator is fantastic, His voice is perfect for the rough and rugged Gage, I look forward to listening to the next Garrison Gage murder mystery, I like the main character and Zoe, I like this series but could do without the profanity,.Fast paced. Interesting, imperfect characters. Constant "surprises. " Dry humor. I really enjoyed this second Garrison Gage mystery which I listened to read by Steven Roy Grimsley, who was terrific.
Looking forward to number three, Another awesome Garrison Garrison Gage thriller, If you liked the first one, you will really like this one as well, It has an exgirlfriend, a Mafia boss, an ambitious Atheist activist, and the ever popular pouty newspaper reporter girlfriend.
Throw in a recently adopted, troubled, teenage daughter, and that is about as much as you want to handle.
The author manages them all very well and even throws in a couple surprises at the end, Another successful murder mystery on the Oregon coast solved by the curmudgeonly Garrison Gage, Hes got a limp, a chip on his shoulder, a best friend who is exFBI, a girlfriend who runs the local newspaper, plus a house with several cats and a teenage girl “inherited” when his former housekeeper died book one.
A woman from his past shows up, looking for help with a problem her atheistic boss is having with a religious cult.
At the same time, the NJ man who killed Garrisons wife is suddenly out of jail and following him around Oregon.
So much going on! Not all of the story lines are tied up at the end and Im looking forward to continuing with this series.
The author enjoyably captures the usually gray and overcast offseason on the Oregon coast, Good book

A good story, easy to read and fun, I did not get the end and don't know I f I'm ready to read the next one for awhile.
I do not like teasers, Gritty tough battered private eye set on the Oregon coast, I liked it a lot, I will keep reading this author, The voice of the protagonist is relatable most of the time but occasionally gets over the top, The snarky humor seems forced, The typos were annoying, too, Sloppy editing ruined an otherwise good read, Enjoyed this very much! Another excellent show don't tell read packed with unexpected twists, murder, romance, and an unexpected ending that did not disappoint.
A great read. I wanted more Gage and Zoe, You don't deserve Carmen. How about Barnacle bluffs in the summer time, . . : So glad I found this series

The only thing better than finding the first two books in a series you like is finding that thel series has got a number of additional books that have already been written and are waiting to be read.
Can't wait! Another great entry in the series, although I think I liked the first one just a little more.
It's amazing how Gage always seems to do the work of the police, without ever giving them a head's up.
But it works for him although just barely at the end of this one,

The story was compelling and wellpaced, leading to a bangup finale, I like the characters Mr, Nolte populates his stories with, Gage is growing on me, and I think Zoe is a good addition to his world as he is to hers.
Bruzzi was certainly interesting sure wish we found out what he wanted though, There were, as others mentioned, some editing problems one sentence that made no sense at all, obviously missing something, but it didn't detract too much from the overall story for me.
I will look for the next in the series,

Small spoiler here, . . Although Carmen was interesting at first, I think it's a good idea to phase her out.
There is really nowhere for her character to go, I didn't see a marriage or anything in their future, So I think that was a great move on the writer's part,
An old flame,

A killer on the loose,

A crazy cult on the rise,

Nearly a year has passed since Garrison Gage became the reluctant guardian of a troubled teenage girl, but neither fatherhood nor the intervening months have improved his mood.
His right knee is still mostly worthless, He still prefers to drink his bourbon alone, And even with a certain blonde bombshell a persistent part of his life, he still can't be bothered to buy a cell phone.
Or any phone, for that matter, Why Then somebody might call him,

But grumpy as Gage can be, he still finds that

life on the Oregon Coast has settled into a comfortable if not happy routine until the man who murdered his wife shows up in town.


That's just for starters, A desperate plea from an old flame his first love, in fact soon entangles Gage in a high profile case involving a famous and brazenly outspoken lecturer on evolution and atheism, a crazy fundamentalist cult that uses all means necessary to silence its critics, and a brutal local murder of a far more personal nature.


Before the mystery can be unraveled, Gage's abilities and beliefs will be put to the ultimate test.
And the man who claims he doesn't need anyone will discover he may just lose everything,
