Another Mick Hart Mystery Solved!

Dog'em, Lawrence Christopher's most recent offering, is a definite page-turner!

The story stars off with a snappy collection agent determined to make quota, but what he got in return was fired, as he finds himself on the receiving end of his high-end tactics. Alls not lost, though, as Mick makes a call to Latasha Knight, a young and very "single" mother. Their chance meeting is what sets this story into motion.

Mick takes on a missing persons case that will have the reader guessing, until the very end, who done it. As Mick searches to find Amanda Monroe, he stumbles across two other murder victims with the same M.O.

What do Amanda Monroe, two female murder victims, Chiquita Ali-Shaker, author of "How To Train The Dog In Your Black Man", and a dog have in common? Find out in this exciting new novella- "Dog'em"

A very satisfying read, love, mystery, relationnship issues; all in a fast paced slice of life book, I look forward to more Mick Hart mysteries

A disturbing work that showcases the skills and emotional depth of this up and coming (or is he already here?) author.

Looking for a quick paced mystery to get your mind running as you try to figure out whodunit? Well, Dog 'Em: A Mick Hart Mystery, fits the bill and goes the extra distance to take you into the world of Mick Hart, private investigator! It also throws in a measure of drama and romance to give it an extra twist and provide wider audience appeal.

Mick Hart can't win for losing. When he goes against the rules and bends the rules for a single mom to help her find the father of her child, he loses his job. We then take on a journey through one of Mick's cases in which he's hired to find Amanda Monroe, reported missing by her grandmother, and using his first tactic of checking the city morgues, he comes up empty handed...well, almost empty handed. Instead of finding her, he finds two corpses with similar injuries and then finds Amanda in the hospital in a coma with the same injuries. The plot thickens when he finds out that all the women know each other and are members of the Sisters of Empowering and Learning Book Club.

Their last read was How to Train the Dog in Your Black Men so perhaps that has someone feeling a bit threatened, challenged, and ridiculed by women across the country. Many women are picking it up and trying to put its principles to practice at the risk of becoming the next victim. And the serial killer is on a rampage trying to redeem himself. He's [upset] and tired of being the one dogged.

Christopher has brilliantly penned a novel that is poignant and revealing, just as it is suspenseful and intriguing. I read this book in under two hours and my only disappointment was that it was over. I look forward to the next installment in the Mick Hart series and would highly recommend this book.

"Dog 'Em" will have its reader turning pages in anticipation of finding out if Mick Hart can solve another baffling crime. This story combines love, suspense and intrigue. Lawrence Christopher has created another metaphor to the phrase "Dog 'Em." This is a fast paced story that will keep your interest with its crisp dialogue and dynamic plot. Anyone looking for an excellent short mystery to read should definitely purchase this book!

I couldn't put this book down! Lawrence Christopher weaves a spellbinding mystery, leaving any reader's mouth gapping. Just when the reader thinks he/she has got it all figured out...BAM! And the reader must start chasing his/her tail all over again.
It ain't over 'til it's over.

There is so much going on- a love story, a murder mystery, and an analysis of male/female relationships. Mick Hart solves it all in time for dinner.

The investigator Mick Hart is an upstanding guy. You want him to be successful in solving his case and in his relationship. I like Lawrence Christopher's style of writing. It is easy to read.

Once again, Lawrence Christopher has created yet another page-turner that is hard to put down!
We get more insight on the lead character, Mick Hart, and the story brings to light an age-old discussion of male-female relationships that should be further explored.

As with "All About Mary", he gives you a taste of what Mick Hart has in store for you next.

I can't wait for the next book!!!
