Review:
Subterfuge (A Tom Stone Detective Story #5) by Don Simkovich & Lon Casler Bixby is an action packed novel. It was very easy to get lost into this story. I had trouble setting it down.
This is the fifth book in the series, but easily read as a standalone. The only thing it did was make me want to read more of this series because the writing was really excellent.
The characters are excellent. I really felt like they were really.
Drug smuggling, cartels, human trafficking, mob bosses…this was quite a packed novel. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend giving it a shot!
Rating:
5/5☆
*I received a free copy of this book from Damppebbles Blog Tours to review honestly on the blog tour. All opinions are my own and unbiased.*
Don returned to his love for writing fiction after years of writing and narrating a radio spot series, marketing copy, and handling the pressures of a wild and crazy family life.
Frequent calls to the local Sheriff’s office, plus the intensity of handling teen alcoholism and teen pregnancy pressed stories from his mind like Earth’s weighty layers turn shale into harvestable fuel.
Well, you get the picture.
Don has fine-tuned his craft writing romance to crime fiction and the recent Tom Stone detective stories.
He lives at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains with his family, two dogs, and anyone else who happens to drop by and live for a spell.
Lon is a published author in various genres: Fiction, Poetry, Humor, Photography, and Comic Books. He is also a professional award-winning photographer whose work has been featured in a wide variety of magazines, art & coffee table books, and has also been displayed in Art Galleries throughout the world.
Lon lives out of his photography studio in Burbank, California where he shares his living space with his wonderful, albeit spoiled, Silver Lab named Silver.
