A curmudgeon. An iconoclast. A loner. That's how people describe Garrison Gage, and that's when they're being charitable.
After his wife's brutal murder in New York, and Gage himself is beaten nearly to death, the crippled private investigator retreats three thousand miles to the quaint coastal town of Barnacle Bluffs, Oregon. He spends the next five years in a convalescent stupor, content to bide his time filling out crossword puzzles and trying to forget that his wife's death is his fault. But all that changes when he discovers the body of a young woman washed up on the beach, and his conscience draws him back into his old occupation – forcing him to confront the demons of his own guilt before he can hope to solve the girl's murder. |
I've read some of this series which I discovered via Overdrive library. I found the main character and stories entertaining but there were a number of mistakes that should have been caught in editing. It's been a while since I read them, but my recollection is that mistakes were in things like sentence structure/grammar.
One mistake that did stick in my mind was the description of a woman's shoes as "open-soled shoes" (surely the intention was "open-toed"?) It did seem like the last book I read had fewer errors than the earlier ones.
These books usually seems to be available for less than $5 each at the Google Play store.
