Impossible to Put Down!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Killing the Boss (Paperback)
This is a clever and fast-paced book that works both as a murder mystery and a sly satire of the business world. The story concerns the murdered vice president of a group of salesmen at a kitchenware company. The entire story is told through a blend of police clues, emails, news reports and suspect interviews. This unique approach creates great tension and realism. The characters are often humorous and keep you guessing. The events unfold like a movie and the ending will blow your mind. I read it in one sitting.

It's an unconventional delight!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Killing the Boss (Paperback)
Mystery lovers who fashion themselves competent sleuths in their own right will rejoice at the sight of Pinkerton's delicious format; eschewing traditional form in exchange for a story delivered the way law enforcement officials usually digest it (evidence and clues via media reports, police transcripts, office emails and memos), "Killing the Boss" is a creative and clever yarn worthy of investigation.You can read an extended version of this review at: http://www.thebooxreview.com 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Excellent first book,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Killing the Boss (Paperback)
This is a good, solid story. The story is told primarily through the use of repeated interviews of several people. Each person has his/her own unique voice. It is never necessary to flip back to determine who is being interviewed. The characters become well-developed and well-defined through the voices of the other characters. The reader is able to get to know all the characters, develop favorites and take guesses at solving the mystery. The most important part of how this story is told is that the reader is able to fall into the story and see the events unfolding. It is a well-told story that takes the reader into the narrative. This is Pinkerton's first published novel. He tells a good story in a difficult format and introduces us to characters we can love or hate based on their development. This is an excellent first book. Future books are promising and cetainly worth looking for. Renee'
