Summary: Good mix of sex & stabbing, sex & shooting...who dunnit?
Review: "Fallen Angeles", by R. J. MacCurry, Baltimore: PublishAmerica Pub., 2003 ISBN 1-59129-979-9 PB, 176 Pp., is a well-written detective novella or story about vengeance and retribution which involves PI Joe Lane, a former Sheriff, who is set-up as fall-man for a young stripper's death. His own daughter had been previously murdered with some similar details. The story has a good mix of liquor, tobacco, car chase, stabbing, shooting, friendship, sex and more sex to keep the reader attentive. I refrain to say more less give this story away.
Helpful was the author's career as criminal investigator so any rough edges to this first novel needs little more than fine sandpaper. All total I found but two missspelled words. Agreed, the cover once opened -- this is one book not easily put down until the last page is read! Just as women are wont to read 'romance' novels, this would be the male indulgence. The book is forceful, concise and can be recommended for adults young and old, and for both sexes. I look forward to more books by MacCurry.

Summary: Fallen Angels
Review: Excellent reading. This book is fastpaced and has a plot that will knock your socks off. I couldn't put it down after I started it. The story and characters were well developed. The main character, Joe Lane is a "been there, done that, got the t-shirt" type of guy. The book was like a movie. Hope to see more.Bill Monroe.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Fallen Angels is awesome. Once I started reading it, I had to keep reading until I got to the end. The plot kept me hanging on and trying to solve the mystery by the clues given in the book. I can't wait to read the next book by this author. I'm familar with Greensboro, NC and the places in the book are exactly as I remember them.

Summary: True grit
Review: Gritty. Authentic. Visceral. Dark, very dark. MacCurry knows his victims, his perps, their turf, and speaks fluent PI with a Tarheel accent. This a helluva detective novel, which leaves you shaking and murmuring, "There, but for the grace of God, go I."

Summary: Great book
Review: I could not put this book down. Once I started reading it, I had to continue and see how the plot twisted and turned. It was a little seamier than most books I read, but nonetheless I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Summary: Next big suspense writer!
Review: This book has a strong plot and equally strong characters. I am so tired of the suspense books that you know "who-done-it" in the first 2 chapters. This book will captivate you til the end. I can't wait to read the next adventures of Joe Lane.
