Book Reviews
So, what are they saying about the novels in the
tongue-in-cheek Dun Wheeling, PI series? Here are some
excerpts from a few professional reviewers and readers:
(You may want to skip this section and just take
my word that all the reviews are unbelievable raves and
accolades. But then, I am a tongue-in-cheek
writer...).
"Different--different than the typical PI novel and different
than I expected. Different than the typical PI novel because
Dun isn't an independent, isolated investigator whose life
revolves around his cases...Different because...Dun's wry
humor injects laughter throughout the story." - Lillie Ammann,
Freelance Writer & Editor, author of Stroke of
Luck. "...Action fires the first words and continues
to the last. There were no boring minutues in this book, no
boring descriptions or backstory...just believable
characters...Thrown in are many delightful light moments.
Peters has done a masterful job with his characters. After
brief encounters, I got the sense that I knew several of them.
For a fun read, a plot equal to James Patterson or Elmore
Leonard, great characters, and moving action, SOS is highly
recommended" -Mary Beth Copeland, POW book
reviewer
"I laughed out loud several
times while reading this book and picked it up every chance I
got until I turned the last page" - Patricia Collier, FWA Book
Reviewer
"In this crazy mixed up
whodunit, Ron Peters uses classic spoof to keep you
guessing...'cause nothing is quite wat it appears." - Nancy
Arant Williams, Timeless Tales Review.
"Ron's dry wit and
tongue-in-cheek approach make for lively reading." - Kay Day,
columnist, radio talk show host, award winning
poet.
"Fiction writing may have come to him late in
life, but the proof of the book is definitely in the
reading...it was very entertaining." - Beverly flemming,
columnist, The Mandarin (Jacksonville) News.
"I read it at the airport when
my flight was delayed. Loved it!" - D.K., Ft.
Meyers, FL
"I laughed. I cried. I wanted to fight." - T.
Horner, author of Massacre, Assassination.
"SOS is one of the most
enjoyable books I've read in a long time. It packs in great
characters and an engaging plot, but still has plenty of room
for fun. I'll be the first in line to buy the sequel and find
out what's next for PI Dun Wheeling." - a reader from Layton,
UT
Author
Peters Does It Again
Sphere of Reason, by Ron Peters.
2007.
Dun turned to face his attacker. Too late.
Thus begins Peters's third book in the Dun Wheeling, Private
Investigator, series. The setting this time is the
Washington, DC area where Peters has cast Wheeling
in an adventure that keeps you reading until the last page. If
you enjoy a good mystery, Sphere of Reason is an
action-packed and character-driven feast.
Peters draws out his characters expertly, and the reader
follows the story with its screenplay in her head. We face, in
this tale, a savage serial murderer who is not only a fearsome
foe, but Peters shows us this murderer's mind; we see that the
horror he creates all makes perfect sense to him. We get
glimpses of forces that forged this warped being. Wheeling, the main character,
is a blend of strength and human weaknesses, not a superman,
but smart and persistent.
Peters is one of a special breed of writers who continues to
seek out new skills and improve the old; this fact is apparent
in his work. This latest mystery, and the preceding Wheeling
books, are both engrossing and enjoyable--a mystery writer's
greatest accomplishment.
--Beth Copeland
So, as you can see, the only
reason I haven't won the academy award for fiction wrting is
that there is no such award. But if there were, I'm sure the
Dun Wheeling series would be right at the top of some
list.
As more reviews
come to my attention, I'll post them here.
Dun Wheelingi is an
atypical PI with human traits and frailities that will capture
your heart with bursts of
laughter.
