Reviews

" Gumshoe , the first in the series, was a Shamus nominee, and the author continues to develop Mort's character and his snappy repartee. Readers who loved Robert B. Parker's Spenser or Matt Goldman's Nils Shapiro will appreciate the humor and investigative work in this outstanding example of the PI novel." Library Journal (Starred Review)
"A stunning bit of bravura writing." Booklist
" Gumshoe Rock is a knock-your-socks-off mystery with a healthy dose of graveyard humor." Foreword Reviews
"Fans of Travis McGee hungry for red-meat private-eye adventure will tune out the mystery and focus on the hero's effortlessly self-confident sex appeal, superhuman physical strength, and nice way with dialogue." Kirkus Reviews
"Rob Leininger's attention to philosophical detail mirrors my own: Bad often begets good. Witty humor softens grisly crime scene descriptions, making Mort my go-to gumshoe. Gumshoe Rock rocks!" Bookreporter
Praise for the Gumshoe series "Mortimer Angel is my new favorite private eye." John Lescroart, New York Times best-selling author
"The Mort Angel books are instant PI classics--smart, slick, charming, and highly recommended." Lee Child, New York Times best-selling author
"Outstanding! From its opening line to its satisfying denouement, Rob Leininger's Gumshoe in the Dark is a tightly plotted, deftly executed, wickedly funny, and wildly entertaining story. Find a comfortable chair and enjoy a ride through the backroads of Nevada. Highly recommended." Sheldon Siegel, New York Times best-selling author
