Burnside Mystery

review 1: This is a slow burner whodunnit from the pen of David Chill. David has a unique way of writing that draws you in and you almost feel like he's sitting across the dinner table and sharing this story with you. The story follows the aftermath of the death of a college football player who lives in L.A. Very interesting characters are introduced into this tale from the coaches at LAU and USC, to the local thugs at Neary's to the misfits at the local police station. Robbie Freeman's family hires Private Investigator Burnside to find the killer of their son and brother. P.I Burnside (who was a former college footballer himself on the verge of breaking into the big time) has to fight against the complacency shown by the local law enforcement agency plus the sudden apathy from the ... moredeceased's brother and his fiancee to the blistering summer heat to crack this case. I enjoyed this tale but sometimes wished the author had included a bit more urgency and cliffhangers to move the story at a faster rate. Still well worth a read and recommended.
review 2: Post Pattern grabs you from the first chapter. The story puts you on the edge of your seat and keeps you there until the end of the mystery. Burnside is a wise-cracking private eye, who tries to find out why someone is trying to kill a local college football star. As the novel unfolds, the plot becomes more complex and the tension mounts.Burnside is on a mission to crack the case, and it involves drugs, strippers and some pretty intimidating bad guys. He is perfect in the role as a white knight to people in trouble, and he continues on with his investigation well after it makes sense to do so.This is a great book with a tight plot, and is loaded with terrific characters. The writing is crisp and sharp, with snappy dialogue and action packed scenes. It is very enjoyable to see the influences of Raymond Chandler and Robert B. Parker in the dialogue, and some of the lines are laugh-out-loud funny. The story moves quickly in this page turner, and the writer will keep you engaged throughout the book.A thoroughly absorbing and fantastic read! less
