I think this is a 2 12 star for me I found the characters amusing and kept visualizing them as a British detective show or something The marital relationship reminded me of the characters in The Thin Man with less drinking but gambling But I felt bogged down in the story So many characters made it hard for me to keep track of who was which And who was actually guilty I had to do the wrap it up chapter three times to get a grasp on who dunnit And I still wouldn t be able to tell you who dunnit by name Like I said too many characters for me to keep track of Maybe the book needs a second slower thorough read for me to follow it better

Robert Bruce Stewart ↠ 1 FREE READ FREE READ ↠ Crossings The Harry Reese Mysteries #2 It’s the spring of 1901 and Harry Reese is seeking a link between the apparent suicide of an insurance agent and the untimely deaths of two of his clients In the meantime hi. I loved the main protagonist Harry right from the start Here we have an insurance investigator who doesn t take himself too seriously but that said make no mistake there s some SERIOUS investigating to do and he does it so well I wasn t sure about Emmie his partner in crime initially but as the story unfolded I realised that the two of them bounced off each other perfectly really complemented each other and gave the story some amusing moments which added to the enjoyment of it I also love that it s set in the early twentieth century There are a lot of characters a lot of suspects and with so many threads to follow it s interesting to see how the author untangles these threads and ties up all the frayed edges to reach a satisfying conclusion This is a well written character led storyline The pace is good and it s refreshing that given the serious nature of Harry s job he does it with such humour It was a really interesting fun read and I can see Harry and Emmie transferring easily to the small screen I received my copy of Crossings from the author in exchange for an honest unbiased review This hasn t affected my review in any way I really have enjoyed it

I was given this book by the author in exchange for a review Many thanks to Robert Bruce Stewart That being said the following is my considered review of the bookThis is the second book I have read from the Harry Reese Mysteries series I loved this novel which in keeping with the series is highly entertaining with its lively tongue in cheek witty style It is an unusual combination of mystery and comedy set in the USA during the turn of the last century which cleverly draws the reader into its historical settingThe plot involves several deaths initially written off as accidents and suicide Suspicion is aroused when it comes to notice that all the deaths ocurred within a short space of time and were linked through the same life insurance company Harry Reese insurance investigator is working to solve the puzzle aided by his tenacious wife Emmie resulting in many amusing episodes Together they face gambling dens crooked businessmen and stockbrokers con artists corrupt policemen and vice densThe story progresses through an assortment of twists and turns and further deaths ensue There are a multitude of dubious characters and suspects and as the reader you are never uite sure who to believe or trust and I was kept guessing right up to the end It develops into uite a tangled tale but provides us with a satisfying conclusion This was not your average whodunnit The novel is humorous and doesn t take itself too seriously Dialogue is peppered with humour and wit but does not detract from either the plot or the narrative flow of the tale The characters are both colourful and memorable The constant banter between the two main characters is a delight Emmie is a vibrant woman rather emancipated for the times leading to a constant battle of wits and wills I did however eventually get a little irritated with Emmie s constant following of Harry until he found a way to stop it While not all entirely likeable the characters are nevertheless all rather intriguing and flamboyant The website for this series is wonderful link provided in the opening pages It contains details of the Streetcar Mystery novels all the characters and a vast amount of related information on the places involved and their historical context It provides a vast glossary of the words and terms used in the novel for authenticity Links are provided for further investigation It is clear the author has gone to a great deal of background research to produce the historical detail found in these books in order to present an authentic setting The author states It s my aspiration to write historical mysteries that are humorous in a sophisticated way yet faithful to the genre and the period Again I would have to say he has undoubtedly achieved his goal
