This review is from: When Dead Speak (Brett Higgins Mysteries) (Paperback)

What a wonderful surprise this was! I was expecting a blue collar crime story like the first novel in the Brett Higgins Motor City Thriller series, instead I was treated to a seat of your pants mystery with elements of the supernatural that are compellingly believable.

This is a keeper!

Terrific humor as always with this author - this is a not to be missed novel.
