The Randall Lee Mysteries

review 1: Very much enjoyed this Randall Lee mystery. The writing is good and the character reminded me strongly of the Steven Segal eastern philosophy martial artist. Decidedly larger than life. Lee is continually going through his 'forms' and being brighter than those about him like Knox, the detective, and Childerson, the incompetent M.E. I loved Lee's attitude and would recommend this as a perfect entertainment for a long flight or lazy hours with little to do.
review 2: From Sherlock Holmes to John Connolly's Charlie Parker, I love a good mystery. Randall Lee is flawed, haunted and angry to the point of losing control. He is also smart, savvy and dangerous which all goes to make him very interesting. Colyott takes a terminally dark character and gives him a sense of... more humor that makes you really care about Randall Lee. It was a good story. The martial arts descriptions were written well enough that even I could picture what was happening. The only thing that made me wince was his relationship with the much much younger girlfriend. She read like my 12 year old granddaughter rather than my twenty-something daughters. I felt uncomfortable every time she "be bopped" into a room. Randall has lots of baggage including the rape and death of his daughter and the earlier deaths of his parents. I had a hard time believing that this girl would be his choice of partner. Except for sex and her astonishing legs she didn't offer much. I kept wondering if she and the Viper were examples of a mid-life crises. less
