Peter Morin has a casual writing style that allows for the reader to slip into his stories as if they were slipping into the most comfortable pair of sweatpants that they own. He pulls you in and gets the story flowing so that you keep turning the pages anticipating the next twist. This story was fun and fast. Too fast. It was so enjoyable a read and intersting a story I was very disappointed when it ended...it left me wanting so much more of it.
Peter is good at his craft and getting better. His characters are real and the dialogue rings true. I look forward to reading more of Peter's work because it is truly entertainment!

Peter Morin brings a sense of place and deceptively conversational style to this classic set piece of a mystery. Morin's narrator introduces himself through his conversation, actions, and milieu and quickly draws us into his Cape Cod. More bemused than hard-boiled, attorney/narrator Raymond Hannah leads the reader through a human maze, entertains, and solves the mystery in just over 5000 words, all in the interest of getting back to Urano's Trattoria before the osso buco special sells out.

A corker of a classic little mystery tale, with an unlikeable dead guy, his lying and roving wife, and a bunch of suspects with great motives. What sets this apart is the style of the teller, the elan with which he conducts the case and solves the crime. Forced to leave his osso buco to help a friend in trouble, he deftly takes charge like a modern-day Nick Charles. A few days and drinks and questions later, he reveals the murderer. Slick, well-told story.

Pete Morin delivers with this short story. Morin's writing is lyrical, witty and full of character. Not to mention all the pieces needed to solve the mystery.
While I wasn't shocked by the outcome, I was pleasantly surprised by the over all depth that came out of a mere 5,000 words.
Well worth my reading time on this drizzly day!
