The Sand Bluff Murders

With a touch of humor and romance, The Sand Bluff Murders throws a likeable lead into a chaotic and intriguing mystery plot. As the mystery unravels, the first-person narration forges an important bond between reader and lead character, whose wit and sarcasm endear him to the reader. The writing is polished and practical. What really grabbed me was the dialogue, which captures the essence of a conversation without insulting the readers' intelligence. Albrecht shows his skill and precision as an author when he summarizes the protagonist's back story later in the book, rather than pummeling the reader upfront with a lengthy biography. I was also impressed with Albrecht's pacing and chapter breaks. Albrecht clearly understands the mystery genre and has assembled his suspects, alibis and intrigues accordingly. — Amy Pollard, Café Reads
