Book Review: DANIEL'S DEN by Brandt Dodson

Daniel Bond, a New Orleans based stock analyst, has found comfort in routine. He believes that the patterns he’s worked hard to form his life around will ensure his security—even happiness. He’s an ethical player in a business where others find temptation—creating his success through honest effort and doing the right thing.

Daniel is financially comfortable, physically fit, and totally committed to Elvis—his black lab.

And then, the unthinkable happens.

In a small community nestled in the Shenandoah Valley, Laura Traynor is anything but comfortable. A widow trying to care for her young son, and realize her husband’s dream (the only thing other than Andy and medical bills he left her) she is buried beneath a pile of debt and weary of wearing more hats than a three-headed monster.

And then, the unthinkable happens.

Brandt Dodson just keeps getting better. In Daniel’s Den, he delivers a compelling plot with interesting, believable characters, providing just enough technical information to lend authenticity.

Book Review: WHITE SOUL by Brandt Dodson

Ron Ortega is a young, ambitious undercover agent. He’s playing a dangerous role in a perilous game with the very highest stakes—his life and his soul.

The agent has infiltrated one of Miami’s top drug operations, and now someone wants him dead. Compromising positions are leading to compromising decisions—and his learning curve is about to get steeper.

At home—in a world Ron can’t be an active participant in—is his wife, pregnant with their first child and dealing with life without enough money. Waiting for the day her husband returns.

Brandt Dodson brings us another well written, well researched novel in White Soul. Dodson isn’t afraid to deal with the dark shadows of a glittering city. Settings and characters are three-dimensional without distracting from the pace. Short, tight chapters keep the action moving.

If you are a fan of Dodson’s Colton Parker series, you’ll find a whole new reason for appreciating his style in White Soul.

Highly recommended.

Book Review: THE LOST SHEEP by Brandt Dodson

Colton Parker is an ex-cop, ex-FBI guy, who is trying to put his life back together after the death of his wife. His faith is, shall we say, less than stable. And a solid faith is what he's going to need if he wants to save the life of someone he loves--his daughter.

Callie has run away from home. More than that, Callie has been lured to Las Vegas, into a world where darkness rules and lies abound. From prostitution to the occult, this is a story that will keep you absorbed.

According to the publicist piece that came with the book, "Readers of the first three Colton Parker Mysteries will devour this latest entry in the fast-paced and highly recommended series."

I beg to differ.

This was the FIRST Colton Parker Mystery I've ever read and I loved it! Although this is the fourth (duh), it's also a stand-alone and you can enjoy this without knowing all the details of what came before.

Don't let this one get away. It's a fast read because it's compelling and well written. I'm off to find the rest of the series . . .

Highly recommended.
