Jacob Rocke is a 'spook,' a private detective specially licensed by the government to look into 'unusual' situations. He's seen just about everything, so when a woman approaches him with a case involving a ghostly wolf, it seems like easy enough work. But dealing with the world of the unusual often isn't what it seems, and things quickly spiral into a mystery involving a menacing specter and dark magical arts threatening both him and his client.

One Drink is a novella of approximately 33,000 words, or roughly 100 pages.

This is Version 2.0 of the novella, additional typos have been found and swiftly exterminated, leaving a smooth, enjoyable reading experience free of grammatical or conversion errors.

A great read to start out with. It's only the beggining.

ByCollinon March 23, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I won't lie to you, I have met the author and he is a great guy. On top of that I have read some other works Max has written and let me tell you, they are some great reads. So when I picked up One Drink, I had a slight idea of what I was getting myself into.

From his others works I have read, this definitely shows as among the first of his works. It was a quick story in which I completed within a days time, of course when it's me reading a story that is not hard to say. I opened the book and found myself emerged and unable to escape the pull. For quick paced stories, that only happens when the pacing is balanced and the story moving. For me it was like watching the blunder of Jupiter Acceding V.S. the satisfying film Seventh Son. The pacing though quick was balanced and fit the story well, much like the film Seventh Son (Which also happens to be about a Spook... how interesting... just not in modern times.) That's a good thing people, that's a good thing.

This story had something important happen on each page, and the mystery though obvious to solve by the first twenty five percent of the story, still had its pull.

So now, when you guys move onto his other stories, don't expect an easy solution to the mystery. This was a one time deal, and now you have to think and have fun with the rest of his stories.

Well done Max, and I'll see you when I'm done reading Dead Silver.

Excellent Novelette

ByTristan G.on July 7, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I really enjoyed this novelette! This is one that you can easily read in a single sitting.
"Dead Silver" was the first novel of Max Florschutz's that I read, and I enjoyed it, so I figured I would check this little precursor out, and I found it very satisfying. Especially after having some familiarity with the characters from the other novel, I was able to jump right into "One Drink", which flows quickly and excitingly.
The action sequences are well structured and gripping, giving just enough detail for the reader to comfortably follow the rush of action, while slower scenes are interesting and well-written to draw you through them without boring or confusing.
Overall, I would easily recommend this to someone wanting to find a new author.

Very nice first effort

ByDavid V. Deardenon April 11, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The author has imagined a plausible world where magical forces operate alongside the more mundane things we are already used to, and has used that as the setting for a detective story. I found the combination of magic with the "hard boiled" detective to be quite interesting, even though I don't normally read either fantasy or detective stories. The characters, especially the protagonist, are well developed, and the plot held my interest; the story was believable given the normal suspension of disbelief needed for this genre. The book has a few typographical / grammatical flaws as are common in self-published material, but I have seen professionally-edited material that has more. Overall I really liked the story and would love to see more from this promising author. More stories set in this same world, with the "magic detective" premise, could be quite interesting.

Liked this story.

ByJean Nienhuis "MaggieJ"on June 14, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I was new to this author but I won't hesitate to pick up more from him. This was entertaining and I liked the story. Paranormal is intriguing to me and "One Drink" did not disappoint. I really liked the main character and his friend. The others were developed enough for the story, but their lack of full development is what helped keep the story short. I was fine with that. If you want a quick read with some twists and some paranormal in it, this is a great book.

Fun Read, Absolutely Worth the Price

ByAlan Blackon January 10, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

An excellent way to spend a couple hours for just a couple bucks. Max has crafted a world that is both believable and intriguing, balancing the familiar with the new and exciting. The fusion of the supernatural with film noir style detective work creates an environment that I just couldn't get enough of. Max's writing style itself is quite enjoyable, as he has quite a knack for using similes and metaphors to create vibrant descriptions. The story is well-paced, as it never drags but is steady enough that the frenetic ending stands out well enough. There are a few small typos, but nothing that detracts from the reading experience overall. Will absolutely purchase the sequel when it comes out.

Max does great work with his characters and setting

ByLockeon August 6, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As the editor for this book, I'm probably a little biased, but I felt it was a strong, entertaining read. Max does great work with his characters and setting, and there were enough twists to keep me guessing most of the way through the book. (Even the best mystery writers tip their hands sometimes, though, so don't count that "most of the way" against "One Drink." :))

Strongly recommended. It's definitely worth your time/money.

If you have read an urban fiction novel at any time, you have a good idea of what you are getting in to. The action is well written, and the plot moves quickly. This is a good idea since the book is only a few pages long. Each character you meet has a purpose, and everything moves to a conclusion. I admit, I was sort of hoping for a better twist ending, because the one shown was broadcast a little too well. If you are done with all of the Dresden files, and other urban fiction books, this one should catch your fancy. It is a good first book, and I look forward to other books by the author.

It was a fun read, and filled that craving I've had ever since I read the Harry Dresden books.

Pleasantly surprising and worth reading

An enjoyable read. My biggest critique was the beginning, which I thought tended to ramble a bit and bog me down with narrative I found uninteresting.Read more

Great story! Although, from what I've seen from you on FimFiction, it doesn't really surprise me.

Great story line

This book is a great short story. From beginning to end the clues were just enough to be intreging but not so many that the end was given away to soon.Read more

Short but sweet with a Dresden Files flavor. Good editing and no gratuitous sex thrown in. I will happily look for more by Max.

It's not the worst thing I've read

Perhaps it is a reflection of being a first work, but I found it predictable and rife with typos. Language and descriptions also felt repetitive.Read more
