Review by CW Hawes:

Richard Schwindt is a master storyteller. The pacing is always right. The atmosphere grabs you and pulls you into the story. The characters are so very natural and lifelike.

The suspense keeps you reading.

The humor, well, the humor makes you laugh — a lot.

In A Killing in Samana, Schwindt is once again at his paranormal mystery writing best. We have bad guys radiating evil. We have people who talk to ghosts.

And we have whiffs of enigmatic Voodoo spells. And yet, it all seems as normal as water out of the tap. That is Schwindt’s gift: making the weird seem completely normal.

What I especially liked about A Killing in Samana is that it brought together all of my favorite characters: amateur sleuth Chris Allard, occult detective Tony Price, and ghost-seeing ichthyologist Courtney Snow. It was good to spend time with old friends again.

Do yourself a favor and enter the delightfully weird, yet normal, world of Richard Schwindt. You won’t regret it.
