Ruthless Reader: Book Reviews

Finders, Inc by Michael Jasper

Michael Jasper's Finders, Inc. is a charming and thoroughly enjoyable read. Set in our very own Watauga County, the novel follows a team of detectives through their most recent case. Hank and Bim have been friends since childhood. They work with husband and wife team, Juan and Marly, to investigate a variety of cases but their specialty is missing persons. When retired Appalachian State University professors start going missing, the Finders team are the perfect choice of investigators. 

Jasper does a wonderful job creating characters that you fall in love with, root for, and want to follow through the book. Bim was my favorite character but Marly is probably my second, with her husband as a close third. I found myself wishing I could find the characters walking around town and sit down with them for a chat. Plus, Jasper does such a great job integrating local businesses and land marks that it makes you feel like you're hearing a story from a friend. All the relationships are fully fledged too, though they have room for growth, something I find promising in the first of a series. The author really knows his characters and does a wonderful job bringing the little town of Boone to the page. 

If you're looking for a fun fall read, something to curl up with by the fire and spend more time with than you meant to, I highly recommend this cozy mystery. Grab your copy from the store for just $16.99!

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars!
