At the beginning Henry Quantum seemed like a grown-up Charlie Brown and I had a sense of dread, but by the end I cheered for him and felt great.  The story takes place in San Francisco; my favorite city; another plus.  I recommend this book for a leisure, entertaining read.  I have just bought two more copies for gifts.

I enjoyed reading this book, he has a smooth and enjoyable writing style--my favorite. I found it an easy read and wanted more at the end. I will probably look for more of his books, but I am a believer (and this confirmed some things) so this is right for me. I am glad I came upon this and I would love to see him in person.

I just read my first book written by David Bishop.  Really, a good read; I found myself connecting with the characaters.  Often speaking to Matt and telling him "awww man, that was a stupid idea."  I would not have placed some of the characters with the jobs they were revealed to have; although looking back I now can see how her character would have fit that persona.  The characters are likeable and not so likeable.  I felt at times as if I were sitting across from the main character listening to his story.  This was really an enjoyable read. I'm definitely looking forward to reading his work.  Thank you!

I liked this book. I really did. I liked the protagonist, I liked the plot, I liked the way he wrote, I liked the sense of humour the main character, Roy Ballard, has. I liked that he's a decent human being. I liked that he doesn't have an unusual or unbelievable ability. Most of all I just really enjoyed the way it was written, and I didn't see the end coming. It is a very easy, enjoyable read and as a matter of fact, I have just purchased the other books in the series. I'm going to read them right now. I got the first one for free, but this writer is good enough to make me want more. Good stuff.

There will be no synopsis in my review. You can read that other places. I always enjoy meeting Hugh, his family, friends and even his enemies again. He is a thoughtful, humble man and--at first glance--not the stuff of which heroes are made, but he does heroic things to fulfill his obligations and his sense of right and wrong. His world is very well depicted, with interesting highlights of very early surgery techniques. This book takes Hugh out of his usual environment, which offers some new background for the story, but I missed his family, which is why I gave it four stars rather than five. Next time it would be nice to arrange somehow to take them along. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys historic mysteries that pull the reader gently into the time depicted, with the good and the bad parts included.

Elements that I loved about this book included the seasoned but sprightly protagonist, the English countryside, and the undercurrent of emotion. I had a bit of problem with the unsympathetic vicar but all in all I thouroughly enjoyed this book.

Good characterizations and attention to period details.

This book brings together so much of the character growth that is hinted at in the first two books. I find a poignancy balanced by humor and honesty that was quite moving. Much of Kent's writings informs but also elucidates introspection and self-awareness in the reader. Worked for me and I would highly recommend it.

I very much enjoyed this novel. Henry although being a rather complex character, is a thoughtful and loyal friend who is determined to find out what happened to his mentor. It was refreshing to find that this writer didn't fall into the standard P.I. framework, that the police hate all P.I.'s and will not cooperate with them. He works will with his friends in the police department and even the Chief respects his work. I am a writer also and believe we should break the old molds and write refreshing new ideas. This book is well worth the read.

DC Smith is a nice chap who has a backstory, both personal and professional, which will probably be filled in as the series develops. He seems kind, intelligent and thoughtful, and clearly not a ruthlessly ambitious type. In a word, he is an old-fashioned gentleman. This story will therefore not appeal to those looking for sex and violence, but is perfect for a quiet day of leisurely relaxation. It's undemanding and engaging. I loved it, and will be back for more.

The Guilty, the second book in the Henry Parker series continues in the same fast pace genre, with all the twist and turns of the first book-The Mark-and then some. Henry Parker, a young reporter for a major New York city newspaper, covers the murders of prominant celebrities, chases a crazed killer on the loose and unravels an interesting twist in American History. Not only does he report on it, he is caught in the middle trying to hunt down the bad guy. This leads to a book that is fast paced and fun to read.
 Like the first book, this one is exciting and gets better as the story nears the end-the mark of any good fictional writing. Henry Parker, a dedicated young reporter torn between his ex-girlfriend and his current one, leaves no rock unturned as he pursues a killer's clues through the streets of New York and New Mexico. Throw in a well researched account about Billy the Kid and the Old west, with a mad man killer in modern day New York city, and you have the making for a fun and fascinating read. I did check the accuracy of the history and it is right on the money. I like it when an author does his homework. I learned things about the Old West that I did not know much about.
Henry Parker's world of media Mongols, backstabbing journalist and hungry editors, adds spice to the story. The competition between New York's leading newspapers adds many twists and turns. This is Henry Parker's world and a cut throat world it is. The two newspapers, The Gazette and the Dispatch, are mostly likely fictional versions of the New York Post and The Daily News. Two papers that no doubt kill for top dog headlines and stories in the real world, and are well portrayed as an important part of this book.
The book moves fast but is simply  written. Not yet in the league of some of the more well known heavy hitters authors, Jason Pinter is an unknown that is could make a name for himself. He may have a way to go, but he is on my list of favorites. I loved his first book and looked forward to this one. I was not disappointed. I recommended this book for those looking for a great story, good character development, a likable main star, and a touch of US History. You will not be disappointed.

* I gave this 3-stars, not because it is bad, but it is simple writing and not of the caliber of much better writers.

I chose  this rating because Ken's style of writing made me feel like I was there with him, and I agree with his philosophy on life.  Also, I loved that in a way, he called Thoreau's bluff.  Ken had more of a Thoreau experience than Thoreau himself!  This was an easy and enjoyable read. Hope there is more from Ken Ilgunas.
