Description: Never knowing where his next case will come from, Private Detective Jarvis Mann is thrilled when his voicemail is lit up by the sexy tones of a lady looking to hire him. Successful business woman Emily White with girl next door looks, is certain someone is stalking her and wants Jarvis to track down the elusive shadow.

Even with three suspects, an ex-husband who lives to play softball, a sexist pig ex-employee and a mystery man who he encounters with painful results, Jarvis believes it’s all in Emily’s head until a killing in her home convinces him otherwise.

Further complicating matters a powerful business man and crime boss becomes involved muddying up the case, leaving Jarvis the prime suspect in the brutal beating of one of the possible stalkers, threatening to put his PI career on ice.

Navigating through each twist and turn in the case, and the affections of two desirable women both with an agenda, Jarvis uses dogged determination and razor sharp wit in Tracking a Shadow that moves across the Denver landscape with each shift in the sun.

This novel is rated as Ace Detective – meaning it is a must read and needs to be added to your library.

This book satisfied my craving for a good detective novel. I do not want to spoil it for future readers but this book was well written with an outstanding plot. The twists and turns come at you often and I must tell you to please pay attention to details. R. Weir pulls you in with the main character Jarvis Mann, a very knowledgeable PI, carries a gun, very funny and knows how to handle himself in confrontational situations unlike one of my favorite characters, Stanley Hasting, created by Parnell Hall.

The characters and plot where well developed. R. Weir used great imagery and description. Describing the scenery of Colorado and climate made me feel like was actually there. I am glad that R. Weir made this a series and can't wait to see what other adventures  are in store for Jarvis Mann.

With that said, I must admit Think Murder by Cassidy Salem is a wonderful novel. I wish that this had been set up to be a series because I would love to read more. I could not stop reading and was disappointed that I had finished it; I wanted more. Salem captured what I call a classic detective/mystery case and I place this up there with other novels written by Agatha Christie, Henry Christopher Bailey, and Patricia Cornwell.

This novel is well written and captivating; with well developed characters and plot. Without giving away or spoiling it for future readers I will just say I have been to Washington D.C. and if I had not after reading this book I would have sworn that I had. The author pulls you in by giving you a vivid description of the characters’ fashion and lifestyles which captures the essence that has drawn these individuals to this area in search of excitement the city.

I believe Cassidy Salem will be on the New York bestsellers list in the future, because Think Murder is a fantastic read and I do expect great things to come.
