Review: DEATH ON HIGHWAY 13 by Joe Vannicola


Story begins with the death on Hwy 13 with the body of Dave Lomas, a former high school classmate of private investigator Gary Bennett, who worked mostly cheating cases among married clients.

Story had that snappy, witty repartee in the narrative, but I ran into a lot of typos, which, let’s face it, could’ve been fixed. Instead of diving into the death of Hwy 13, the P.I gets sidetracked with following 3 men at a sex club. This whole thing was really slow with long narratives. We then start to learn about the Lomas family and the restaurant in chapter 4. Who cares, right?

This is just a very slow P.I. story that doesn’t focus well enough or fast enough of what the main title entails—the death on Hwy 13.

Not a good read.
