When Dogs Could Talk ~ David S. Wellhauser

When Dogs Could TalkWhen Dogs Could Talk by David S. Wellhauser
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Dogs Could Talk by David S. Wellhauser is an interesting novel with many complex levels. I found the novel at first to be extremely wordy for lack of better words. It is a like I said before a complex novel, but I must encourage others to stick with it. It took me a couple of chapters to understand Wellhauser’s writing style but as I continued on the plot begins to thicken and the mystery and murders begin to really come together. Wellhauser definitely has a way with words and descriptions of the scenes and characters that are involved in When Dogs Could Talk. Following reporter Charley Harris research and “detective” style of deduction was quite an adventure. Wellhauser does not hold back on detail, I believe that wow factor of “Bam” in your face writing is what makes this novel flow. The grittiness of the novel gives it depth and overall it was a pleasant read.

Broken by the Dark: An Edge of Your Seat Murder Mystery ~ Dennis Lively

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dennis Lively produces a great action filled suspenseful mystery novel in Broken by the Dark. His ability to give you every bit of detailed and background information in as little words as possible was well appreciated. A quick synopsis, the main character is Jason, a man blinded during childhood who turns out to be a very good detective. Jason solves crimes for a living, he was blinded as a child by a man infatuated with his mother. Jason does not let "blindness" take over his life, he has learn to live it and has become a very successful detective. A series of crimes strike the town that start to bring back troubling memories from Jason's past. This novel tells the story of how Jason gets through the nightmares and handles some of the worst crimes against humanity.

Dennis Lively, plot and character development is amazing in the mystery novel. Yes there is small portion of romance but it does not overshadow the main plot, the mystery. Lively's writing style is simple yet his story really flows like a novel. It is written as if this is only a small portion of Jason's life. Lively could really make a long series with Jason as the main character.
