Henry Walsh Private Investigator Series

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "On book four of the series and riveting storytelling with a lot of characters. Suspenseful and keeps you wondering where the plot is heading, till the final reveal..." -Hal Bigelow

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I am totally loving this series!" -DENISE MCCARRAHER

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I’ve only finished two of the series, very good reads and and I plan to read them all!" - Douglas Bright

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A surprisingly entertaining story I received the first six ebooks from Gregory Payette that feature Henry Walsh as security advisor for the local baseball team in Jacksonville, FL. I was drawn to this since I lived in Jacksonville until moving to nearby Clay County. Sadly, there have been a few attempts to use Jacksonville as a backdrop for books, movies and even a TV series. None of them have ever been successful. Finally, I read a story set in Jacksonville that should be a large success. I have a huge pile of TBR books so I have to skip around but I will be returning to this series soon. -Richard Klinzman

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I read EVERY ONE (all the 21 colors) of John D. MacDonald's series, Travis McGee, starting in the mid-70's until the end. I hope you take this as a compliment, but you write similar to MacDonald. I love the way you develop your characters, their interactions, and the bit of humor peppered through the story.  -Patricia D. (reader review)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic mystery in a classic way. Think of noir only in book form. Shady bars, deep secrets and heated undercurrents of jealousy and hate. A great read. - Hawaiichick (reader review)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kind of a throwback to the old PI days of Mikey & Jack. Down and out cop turned security officer doggedly tracking down clues to solve a murder for a friend. - James M. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the story. Never figured it out. Great mystery. - S. Kierstead
