Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Those Who Love 1930s Detective Fiction

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2023

 
"Where there is money, there is evil. You might even be favored to win against Washington..."

If you cannot get enough of the 1930s detective fiction, and thought you read it all, Richard Olson has provided us with a novel that is worth picking up to read. You will not be disappointed. Usual beatings, blood around the mouth, drawn into a courtroom case and a conspiracy that weaves in and out of sexy damsels, and references of Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney on top. I don't want to give away much of the plot but this private eye has all the classic trademarks you expect -- and want -- in a detective novel. Wish there were more like this. Enjoy the adventures of Nick Stihl with this novel.

A Man of Stihl

I have not read a book in many years. I started this book and it kept me interested from the beginning to the end. It was exciting and well written. I liked the characters and the stories, they made sense and were believable. I would definitely read more Nick Stihl Stories!

Nick Stihl proves time and time again his detective skills bring in the bad guys of Peoria IL! I truly enjoyed the great history Dr. Olson brought back into this quick read, detailing the richness of the downtown area. I quickly became connected with the characters and their journey to clean up the city! Will enjoy more to come from this author!
