The Eagle Heist: Library Edition

Rating:
Summary: Are you kidding me?
Review: This is just a mediocre book from beginning to end. The acutal "heist" itself is fairly interesting, but is over before it begins. The villains are uninteresting, the "mastermind" is poorly developed and I was able to spot him with 80 pages left to go. The fact that our "hero" is a) supposed to look exactly like Wilford Brimley and b) beds every attractive woman he meets is just ludicrous and makes the entire book almost farcical. The villain goes on a killing spree

Summary: Tender, tough hero
Review: I've just bought more copies of THE EAGLE HEIST for friends. Beauford Sloan is delightful---an older hero who is tender, loyal, honest, humorous, sexy (yes) and tough. I was amazed at the concept of the opening robbery in this book. Rather unusual. Then to meet Beauford Sloan, a retired Virginia cop now a PI, who treats women with respect and abhors evil with the tenacity of a bulldog chomping on raw meat. At last, a detective who isn't drinking, having multiple personal problems, chasing women of the night or trying to forgive his ex-wife or parents for excessive emotional burdens! I like the surprise ending of this novel as Beauford travels to Spain and Moracco in search of a thief and a murderer. The true villian was a surprise. Fast action, great dialogue, and other memorable characters. Beauford's persona is based on the actor Wilford Brimley who writes a foreword for the book which must become a movie!!!

Summary: Austin Moves into Raymond Chandler Territory
Review: If you like a fast moving suspenseful mystery with twist and turns, Ray Austin's Eagle Heist has it all. Austin displays a sharp eye for plotting and characters with a perceptive ear for dialogue. PI Beauford Sloan is a masterpiece of character development along with other major and sub characters. Austin is a superb story teller and a master of intrigue. Looking forward to his next.

Review: Good luck to Beauford Sloan and Raymond Austin, the man that brought him to life. And he has brought him to life on the page. Love his eye for detail. His lead up to the plot. He also keeps a sub plot going in the background that keeps you thinking. This TV director is a find. Why so long coming to the fore. More pleased.
