Lights Out: A Working Man's Mystery Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Terry Saltz is the protagonist, a carpenter who is also a pizza delivery guy for Carlo's Pizza. Every morning he and his friends have breakfast at Brewster's, and that is where Terry's (ex) wife, Marylou, tracks him down. She asks him to help her move, and he says 'no' emphatically.
Gruf's dad Smitty is setting up the bar he owns for Gruf to take over, so he's hired Terry to make some improvements. In the midst of all of this, Terry and his roommate John hear gunshots down the street at some awful hour of the morning and find Marylou wasted (drugs and alcohol) with a shotgun in her hand. John, the cop, takes control. Terry and his friends know that Marylou didn't kill the man found in the empty trailer, so they work to find out the real story.
Again, LT Fawkes has written a story I couldn't put down. It is an interesting read, different from most mysteries in that I find it fairly down to earth. There are a lot of day to day things that most people don't include in their stories, but I like that it adds some more to the characters. And I've become fairly attached to Gruf, Bump, and Terry. ok, maybe Danny, too, but not as much.
I don't know too many read-alikes for these - they aren't bloody or gruesome, but there is swearing. A lot of new characters are introduced, and there is some (not a lot) romance.

After stewing in jail and getting dumped by his pit-bull of a wife, Terry Saltz is finally getting his life back. But then a man is knocked off in his trailer park and who's caught holding the gun? His soon-to-be-ex-wife, Marylou-drunk as a skunk. She may be mean, but Marylou is no killer. Now Terry has to butt in and get her off the hook. Because no one is getting away with murder in his backyard.
