More Terry!,
By Elizabeth Slater (North Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lights Out (Paperback)
Terry Saltz is the protagonist, a carpenter who is also a pizza delivery guy for Carlo's Pizza. Every morning he and his friends have breakfast at Brewster's, and that is where Terry's (ex) wife, Marylou, tracks him down. She asks him to help her move, and he says 'no' emphatically.Gruf's dad Smitty is setting up the bar he owns for Gruf to take over, so he's hired Terry to make some improvements. In the midst of all of this, Terry and his roommate John hear gunshots down the street at some awful hour of the morning and find Marylou wasted (drugs and alcohol) with a shotgun in her hand. John, the cop, takes control. Terry and his friends know that Marylou didn't kill the man found in the empty trailer, so they work to find out the real story. Again, LT Fawkes has written a story I couldn't put down. It is an interesting read, different from most mysteries in that I find it fairly down to earth. There are a lot of day to day things that most people don't include in their stories, but I like that it adds some more to the characters. And I've become fairly attached to Gruf, Bump, and Terry. ok, maybe Danny, too, but not as much. I don't know too many read-alikes for these - they aren't bloody or gruesome, but there is swearing. A lot of new characters are introduced, and there is some (not a lot) romance.

Very satisfying!,
By Avid Mystery Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lights Out (Paperback)
L.T. Fawkes has created a set of characters and locations that are so vivid that I could draw pictures of them all! The trailer, the bar, the pizza joint, the breakfast table... the friends hanging out together... they just come alive in these books. A medium-boiled mystery which is neither genteel nor gory, Lights Out lives up to the debut which hooked me on this series. Terry and friends continue to form a family and grow in their relationships while solving the murders around them. The characters evolve from book to book, and I can't wait to see what happens to them in Fawkes' next book! Nicely paced, excellent character development, interesting plot.

3.5 stars - A fun book.,
By L. J. Roberts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lights Out (Paperback)
The plot is light but the characters are wonderful. You truly get to know Terry and his friends as you join them in their day and work. There's very good dialogue and light humor. It's heavy on profanity, but not inappropriate for the characters. I read the first in the series and will probably keep following Terry and the gang. This is a fun, quick read.
