Query: Gripping story and impossible to put down.

For me there are only a few books that grab hold of me in the first few pages and this is one of them! In fact I've read every book in the series ( there are quite a few now ) and they all have the same qualities, the story draws you in and you are right there with the main character while he solves crimes with his colleagues. The author writes from a unique perspective, most stories take place near the small (and real) town of Brattleboro Vermont and he has created a quirky cast of characters to make the stories very interesting and realistic. This whole series is well worth your reading time!
