Short, Sweet, Unique

It's worth the $5 - It deals with an area of crime not often mentioned, but the characters are engaging, honorable, and not the jaded, hard-boiled cops who reach for violence as their favorite tool. I would guess this is a first time effort, as the story is not terribly complex, which is appropriate for something this short, and some of the transitions are a little abrupt.

The reader is good though a little flat - they don't do a good job of editing, so somechapter headings overlap the end of the previous chapter, and there is no clear distinction as to placement sometimes, but this is not enough to seriously detract.

I found myself at the end hoping that the next part of this series would be out.
