HUMOR SNIDE COMMENTS,WRY THOUGHTS---ALLINTERSPERSEDWITHBELIEVEABLESEXSTUFF
JUAT FINE AND WELL DONE THANX
A very well written PI theme story with more humor than Spillane's and a lot of very interesting side remarks that add a lot of life to the characters. Oh, yeah, a great ending too!
Extremely well done. Characters were not over done, the humor was sweetly dry and to top it all off, there was an actual story in there. What more could anyone ask for. Thanks for posting this one. Any chance of this turning into a series?
I understand writing the man as only marginally smarter than the village idiot, but you over did it. Neither of your women are written as stereotypically blond or any color in the neighborhood of it. So, as stupid as you wrote him no non-blond would give him the time of day, much less fuck him, even on a dare.
<P>
I wasn't buying that the woman forgot her purse until I remembered that a very nice lady I've known for about a dozen years once mislaid her purse at a meeting center, but didn't miss it for several days maybe as much as a week. I know this because I found it and called her to let her know. This is a smart person with a lot of "common" sense.

I re-read this to see if I'd missed anything about your technique, and I loved it all over again. More fun than the popular mystery writers, and less work to read, because I don't have to try to figure out anything. Definitely a great read!
This is a great series with just the right touch of humour, a gradually increasing family of characters, that we grow to love. Keep it up
This one was harder to find because it wasn't listed as "The case of . . . . "
Just as good as the other stories of Jase the P.I.
I do have one question: When you said " the difference between a good Rhine and a good Chablis" did you mean Rhone? I know a Chablis is a Chardonnay form the little sub region of Chablis in Burgundy. And the Rhone region is best known for Syrah, Morvedre, and Granash blends. But the Rhine is not really very good for drinking.

A cute story with quirky characters. No Mike Hammer this.
Loved it!!
Meh. The hard-boiled detective imitation at the beginning wasn't too bad, but the rest ... 2*
I liked it. Not too serious but some wry humour. Okay, so it's not Dashiell Hammett but come on....
Love your writing. I am not a grammar nazi. But as an observation I am seeing more mistakes of words in the wrong sequence. Or the wrong use. Most do not effect the storyline. Afaw704
