General Murders (The Amos Walker Series #8)

Crackles Like a .38 Special
"General Murders" is a collection of ten Amos Walker short stories that are done every bit as well as any of the Detroit P.I.'s best novels. Author Loren Estleman proves himself to every bit as effective working in the short form as he is with his novels. As the title implies, the stories mostly deal with death and murder, but they all come with a twist, most of them unforseemn and satisfying. ...

Another excellent entry in the Amos Walker series
"The Midnight Man" is a bit darker than usual for an Amos Walker novel. Death hangs omnipresent as the intrepid Walker tries to bring a cop killer to justice before he is killed by the police. Along the way he encounters black militants, a bounty hunter, a sex-starved cop's wife and more dead bodies than he would care to count. Author Loren D. Estleman runs his hero through the wringer in this ...

The quality of writing one expects from Mr. Estleman, almost a classic
An Amos Walker Mystery. After reading a rare Estleman clunker (Stress (Detroit Crime Series #5) - skip it), this is a welcome return to the quality of writing one expects from Mr. Estleman, almost a classic. Tight plot, no wasted words or actions in 200 pages of paperback that would be 400 pages in any other private eye mystery writer's hands, or a 1,000 page 20-hour miniseries for James ...

Amos going up the "River"
"Downriver" is the 8th novel is the excellent Amos Walker P.I. fiction series. As such, it is about average for the series, which is to say better than average for the genre. In this outing, Walker goes "Downriver," which is a Detroiter's term for any part of Michigan that does not include the city. Actually, he goes to the Upper Peninsula to give a released con a ride back to Detroit. When ...

Every Brilliant Eye (The Amos Walker Series #6)

A Tough Guy, eh?
This is my first Loren D. Estleman book featuring his tough Detroit PI, Amos Walker. After the gratifying, but more "honored" works of James Lee Burke and Michael Connelley and Robert Crais, I found Estleman's hard-boiled prose imbued with the tough, wiseguy attitude both refreshing and perfectly pitched to capture the mean streets of the Motor City. Upon finishing, I bought nearly a dozen of ...

Learning to Play God

Robert Marion

Fawcett Publishing Co, 2000

Greatest book for all pre-med
There are only a few books that I enjoyed as much as this book. Dr. Marion is an amazing writer. He manages to keep readers interested without being unrealistic. I recommand this book for anyone interested in becoming a doctor or even dating someone that is thinking of becoming one. The book explores the shortcoming of modern day medical training and the emotional stress that students go through ...

Sugartown (The Amos Walker Series #5)

Another First Rate Amos Walker Mystery
Loren Estleman writes in the author's notes that follow the story at the end of this i-books edition of "Sugartown," that the novel was his angriest in the series. Interestingly, Estleman places the source of his anger as the backdrop for the story. In the early 1980s, Detroit Mayor Coleman Young made a legally shaky eminent domain deal with General Motors that forced hundreds of long time ...

Walker at his darkest, and best
Amos Walker has one heck of a rollercoaster ride in the third installment of Loren D. Estleman's suberb P.I. series. Its Christmas in Detroit and our hero gets seduced, beaten up, arrested, threatened; your usual yuletide activities. Along the way he encouters crooked cops, media hungry politicians, spoiled rich kids and ham-handed Federal agents. I'd rate "The Glass Highway" a notch above the ...

Lady Yesterday (The Amos Walker Series #7)

Another winner for Amos Walker
"Lady Yesterday" is the 7th novel in the superb Amos Walker private detective series. Once again, our wise cracking and world weary hero prowls the streets of his native Detroit with moves as fast as his wit. In this outing, Walker's favorite femme fatale, the recovering hooker Iris (first introduced in the series debut, "Motor City Blue"), is back in town and Walker cannot resist doing her a ...
