review 1: I picked this book up because it was based in Orlando, and it sounded OK. I found out after that the author was a well known Christian literature writer.. so it was with sceptisism that I decided to give it a go. I'm glad I did.. whilst there occasional lapses into religion depths that I didn't want to plumb, the story holds up well, and has enough pace to make you turn the pages. Overall, I enjoyed it, and would recommend.
review 2: This is the start to Mark Mynheir's new Ray Quinn series. It's billed as a police procedural and Christian fiction series. Not sure that it's real good at either. I know most first books in series are just to set the scene and grab you into the world. Well this one doesn't grab you. It's borderline boring and really unbelievable. Y... moreou have to believe that the Orlando police are slow, dimwitted and can't solve cases once Ray Quinn is shot and crippled. He becomes a night watchmen where there just happens to be a murder. The sister of the murdered pastor is a Christian who somewhat preaches the word of God to Ray but not really. It gets on Ray's nerves but I didn't even think it was that bad. I felt this conversion story is going to be a slow one throughout the series and that's fine. It's actually a good start. However, the police procedural is where it's lacking. The clues just seem to fall into place from no where and the people run in and out of the story so it seems like the end comes from left field. If you want to read a good Christian fiction series then try the O'Malley Series by Dee Henderson. I'm not sure that I'll give book two a shot, but I might. I would recommend this book to readers that enjoy this genre. less
