A Book Review for You

Okay first off I must say that I love books, book stores, and reading. My obsession with buying books has gotten worse over the past year *grin* I have always loved books and there was never a time I was buying more books than I had time to read, but this past year it's been more and more. It all started with me purchasing my Samsung Galaxy 3 tablet. I added the Kindle app to it on a whim not really expecting to use it. Until I got my tablet I was against reading electronic books, it has something to do with the feel of an actual book in my hands and the smell of the pages. I now must say that I love reading on my tablet.

How this obsession started was with a little website known as Bookbub. My wonderful mother is the one who put me on to this website. (I have to make sure she mentioned this website to me because I know she will be reading this post later and if I didn't mention she was the one who introduced me she would get on my case about it... love you mom.) *wink*

Anyways a little about it... you sign up with your email address and they send you an email everyday, yes EVERYDAY with a discounted books between free and $2.99. Yes free book, this is where I get into trouble. *grin* I can't tell you how many books I have purchased from these emails. The website makes it really easy as well... just click the link next to the book you want and it downloads to your device. How freaking easy, right? Now this only works this easy if you have an Amazon account, which of course I do. *wink*

Now the reason for this post... Henry Wood Detective Agency.


If you are looking for a new series to read I strongly recommend these books. There are four of them all together and yes I have read all four, that's how good they are. I downloaded one from bookbub and every time I saw another Henry Wood book pop up in my email I purchased it right away.

If you enjoy detective novels, as I do, you will definitely enjoy these books. Quirky, funny, shocking. Brian D. Meeks is the author and does a remarkable job. Henry Wood is an older, tired detective who ends up taking on these big cases. The books are set in the 1950's in NYC. Now Henry's office and apartment are in Manhattan but he also keeps residence in Brooklyn (a place that many people do not know about.) This house is unique in that it has a closet that sends him clues from the future to help him solve cases he is working on. How cool, right?  I do not want to give too much away but the characters in these books are wonderful. Henry is sometimes lost and is helped along by his close friends... The way he goes about solving these cases is unique and smart. Dealing with the mob, rich folks, betrayal, etc. throughout all of the books Henry has to decide who he can trust and those he can't.


These books had me hooked and wanting to keep turning the pages... even late into the night *wink* Now go out and purchase these books for yourself to see.

*My Thoughts*
You do not have to purchase these books through bookbub, you can get them off of Amazon.
I am not being paid to talk about bookbub, I just love it.
The four books are Henry Wood Detective Agency, Edge of Understanding, Perception, and Time and Again.
