REVIEW: Spin Out by James Buchanan

I especially loved Hard Fall, the first book in the series that has become The Deputy Joe Series (with another one in the works, apparently).

REVIEW: Personal Demons by James Buchanan

REVIEW: Personal Demons by James Buchanan

Dear James: I’m not a big one for police procedurals — they usually bore the snot out of me — but I’m a big one for your writing and characters, so I read this anyway and I’m very glad I did. As always, your characters are very real, full of personality, and your spare writing(…)
