"Daddy Issues" Review

• Title:  "Daddy Issues"
• Author:  Jonathan Watkins
• Finished:  July 24, 2012
• Synopsis:  The extended description at the Smashwords book page is the best way to describe this book.
• Impression of the book: This is the second book in the Bright and Fletcher series by Watkins. It is a great follow-up to the first book, "Motor City Shakedown."
• Read Again Scale: 6-7
• Although I mentioned this in my previous review of Watkins first book, I will say it again. The new Kindle has opened a much bigger library to me, so my read again scale needs to be recalibrated.
• Read Another Book by the Same Author: 10
• Watkins includes a teaser for the 3rd book in the series. I am pretty sure that I am becoming a loyal reader. Although I kind of like recurring character series, I think I would like to see Watkins try a stand alone novel.

"Daddy Issues" was the first book that I ever purchased at Smashwords, and it was worth the $2.99 that I paid for it. I will read Watkins next book in the series (due out soon). He has put together a pretty good duo in Bright and Fletcher, and he still has a few threads that go back into the first book to work out along the way. I would recommend giving "Motor City Shakedown" a FREE read. If you like that, then you will definitely enjoy "Daddy Issues."

"Motor City Shakedown" Review

• Title:  "Motor City Shakedown"
• Author:  Jonathan Watkins
• Finished:  July 8, 2012
• Synopsis:  The extended description at the Smashwords book page is the best way to describe this book.
• Impression of the book: The book has a "Grishamesque" feel to it. Lawyers are acting outside their job description. In this case, they are trying to clear the reputation of a client who has been murdered.
• Read Again Scale: 6-7
• Ordinarily, this book would rate higher on my read again scale, but the new Kindle has opened a much bigger library to me. So, it may take a while to get back to it.
• Read Another Book by the Same Author: 10
• I have placed "Daddy Issues" in my hopper. I plan to purchase it from Smashwords soon.

I downloaded this book to understand the process for doing that at Smashwords, and I ended up with a VERY entertaining and funny legal mystery. Watkins keeps the pace going nicely and provides a good foundation for the beginnings of the Bright and Fletcher series. I will be buying "Daddy Issues" after Watkins provided "Motor City Shakedown" free at Smashwords.
