“…Any Blues
related problem in the City of Obesity ends up at my door.” Notes the Blues
Detective in one of his crime breaking solutions to a case
that comes through
his Memphis office door. A musician by
night and a sleuth by day is how it’s played in a southern tone – soft and
mellow - cool.
His name is Otis
King and he is a crime solver who is by far the most uncomplicated human to be
a crime buster: he drinks; he eats; he fornicates; and he solves problems.
Music is his passion and because of that he gets the coolest and strangest crimes
to solve. Some of which are not crimes at all. They are just misunderstandings
that this Welshman demurs over.
The Blues
Detective cases are short but sweet.
Andrew’s writing keeps your attention and imagination in the game. He’ll use a short phrases like “I re-trouser. I ask my questions.” You laugh and understand what he meant by
putting it at that precise moment. His
paragraphs are short and sometimes a word or two. You'll get the meaning when Otis says “I
open an eye.” and moves on to “A mistake.”
Mr. Peter’s Otis
King is the person telling the collection of tales that will have you laughing
and thinking – did he say that? Unfortunately,
there are only ten cases to be solved in this book. I’ll keep it in my Kindle and I'll go back and
read a case or two when I need a little fun time.

Sounds like a fun book to read! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Roy. Andrew is a riot, and a great story teller. I'm envious of his witty abilities.
ReplyDeleteGot the makings of a hit TV series. I can see this going down well with the studios. You should do a treatment and synopsis (if you have not already) and get it on the desks of the studios...good luck with the book and the series - I shall keep an eye out.
ReplyDeleteHave just started to read it - from the comments above it sounds like I'm in for a treat.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent book and I gave it a 4 star review
