This book took me a little while to get into it and felt slow starting off but once the characters, and plot, were established, it proceeded at a better pace. This was a very good PI story with great action sequences. I’ve never read anything from JB Roth before but I’ll be looking for more books from him.
Thanks to NetGalley, Indigo River Publishing and JB Roth for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks in advance to NetGalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love a good PI novel and this was a fantastic book for a first time author. I really enjoyed the working relationships between Coop, CJ and Courtney and how they took care of each other but also put each other in their place when things went wrong. The story moved fast and had had good twists and turns and the fight scenes were well done (though Coop seems to have incredible recovery time after a fight).

Thoroughly enjoyed and recommend the book and looking forward to more in the series.

What I could enjoy of this action escapade was very good, but I think that it would be far more enjoyable if read in segments more than twenty minutes. However, it is not TTS enabled.
I requested and received a free temporary PDF from Indigo River Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you!

This book has excellent characters, and the plot is very good except for the strange situation with no police involvement in a murder. The pace is good, making this an entertaining book.

This is a fun book to read. It does contain a bit of character development
in the beginning, and I wanted it to move along. Then it started to fly and
it was great fun. The entire fiasco begins when Coops best friend, Heather,
returns from a girls cruise with a vision or a disturbing dream. After she’
explains it to Coop, CJ & Courtney,,( the trio from the PI Agency) find themselves
in serious trouble with an actual mess of locations, Law Enforcement Agencies
strong personalities who are bound and determined to figure out what
the ladies might know, or might have seen on what was supposed to be a super
fun girls cruise. After the Author builds some foundation and introduces characters
the story flies~there is scant bio on the Author but it seems this could well be a
series in the works. I would hope so. The story is well written, interesting, and the
relationships are nice. The world is all aligned by the time Coop and the myriad
Government agencies are all involved in what started out rather small and not
quite verified, into something that (again) could certainly be used in the future.
I enjoyed this book and thank the folks at Indigo River Publishing , via NetGalley,
for the opportunity to read this book for review purposes. The book will be
available 9 April, 2024.

The book i wasn't sure about but i requested on cover totally, i really love the cover. At first the book starts off slow and i wasn't sure whether i wanted to continue. As I continued to read, it definitely built to the action of the book as i read on further. Coop and CJ were my favorite and i loved the characters working together. I really liked the book and will look for more from this author.

Thanks NetGalley for letting me read and review.

Blunt Force started slowly and continued to build until an action filled climax. Loved the “working” relationship between Coop, CJ and Courtney. Hope Coop and CJ will give it another try! I received an ARC from NetGalley, and the opinions expressed are my own.
