Five "Thriller Killers" Stars
Cool and Collected Crime Thrillers!
Three thrillers in one volume made this collection a very fun read!
A small taste of what lies within for all three books:
Dead On My Feet (1st book in the trilogy):
Phineas Troutt is hired by a doctor that runs an abortion clinic as she is afraid for her life when she starts having troubles with someone threatening her and wanting to destroy her clinic. Phineas just stepped into all sorts of trouble when he decides to help her out, but he has friends in high places that will help him out when he needs it.
Dying Breath (2nd book in the trilogy):
Phineas Troutt is back and this time he is on the hunt for a missing girl. Little does he know that the "missing girl" is also tied into two cases by his PI friend, Harry McGlade and friend, Homicide Lt. Jack Daniels. When the three friends eventually realize that they are all looking for the same girl they end up working together to get the job done right.
Everybody Dies (3rd book in the trilogy):
In the last installment of the trilogy, Phineas has more problems a little closer to home as his brother, Hugo is out of prison and ends up kidnapping Phineas' girlfriend as Hugo is on the hunt for Phineas as he wants to kill him to elevate his status in a gang. What Hugo doesn't realize is that Phineas will do whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves.
Thoughts for all three books:
There was quite a bit of suspense, tension, mystery, and some humor throughout all three books.
The first book was kind of loaded with humorous quips from the character, Harry McGlade who makes an appearance along with character Jaqueline Daniels from the Jack Daniels series as the author tied in those characters into this trilogy of Phineas Troutt.
The second book had quite a bit of humor as well, but the book brought all three characters (Phineas, Harry, and Jack) to life within the story as each character had their own chapters and it continued on throughout the book from character to character which was really cool as I was able to read what was going on with each character. Though the second book was longer and took up most of the trilogy as there was so much happening with the story.
The third book dealt mainly with just Phineas himself and his girlfriend, plus the story gave the brother, Hugo more focus as well. The characters, Harry and Jack made an appearance in the last half of the book - they showed up but the focal point of the story was wrapped around Phineas, the girlfriend and the brother Hugo. There was not as much humor in this one as it dealt with mainly suspense and mystery of what was going to happen next with the brother, Hugo.
I really did enjoy all three books and I am happy that I branched out into the world of Phineas Troutt.
