Rogues' Bluff: Murder in the Ohio River Valley Mysteries & Horror Horror Book Review

I was trapped by the opening line and enjoyed every minute of this book. Think of an updated Dashiell Hammett. This is my first John Brown book and I will be continuing on to his other works (I actually met John while in Indianapolis for the 500 and he signed my copy of Rogues’ Bluff). This work has the hard-boiled colorful imagery of the classic detective genre, many sub-plots that unfold as you go, a great sense of humor, and an excellent overall story that hits all colors of the literary spectrum. This book was recommended to me as a good intro to detective Richard Scott. A must have for detective/mystery fans and a good read for anyone who enjoys a good book.
