Dead Beat

Flynt and Steele Mystery, Book 1

Creative differences can be a killer!

Detective Flynt is an unkempt, odd little man known by the guys at the Puta Gorda PD as The Leprechaun. He’s the strangest detective on the force that’s never made an arrest! Maybe his new partner, high flying detective Noah Steele, can change that?

Sent to turn the failing Puta Gorda police department around, Steele must constantly battle his impulse to cut and run every time Flynt manages to say and do exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time! Join the two most mismatched partners since gasoline and match, as they try to solve crime in a small southern California town.

When the drummer of a punk rock band is found impaled by his own drumsticks detectives Flynt and Steele get the call. That’s when the sparks begin to fly. With love, lust, jealousy, and band mates who resent each other, murder is just three chords and a drum stick away!

If you love the thrill of John Sandford and Michael Connelly, mixed with the humor of Killing Eve, this is the perfect series for you!

Good Story

The plot is good and moves along at a good pace. If you enjoyed the series Monk you will enjoy this book. I did not care for the narrator. There was no delineation between characters. There was very little inflection or sense of drama in the reading. It was clear and easy to understand. Many of my favorite narrators are trained as actors. If they read “fat sheep” you feel greasy! If this narrator read fat sheep you know their BMI was too high.
