Scarlet Fever (A Johnny Delarosa Thriller Book 1) by David Stever – Review by Kerry Baker

Scarlet Fever: A Crime Thriller by David Stever
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scarlet Fever: A Crime Thriller by David Stever is an exciting and fast paced book that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I read a lot of crime books and really enjoy the genre but this is the first book in a long time that felt like a good old fashioned crime story for you to sink your teeth into. A lot of the time now it feels like authors are trying too hard to make the story complex but with this book the author does a great job of keeping you, as the reader, engaged without making everything too complicated.
The story had a great gangster feel to it. The good guys were good and the bad guys were bad. You had that sense of what is right and what is wrong throughout the whole book. This is the type of book that you really get behind the characters and what to help solve the mystery.
This was the first book that I have read by this author and I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to exploring more of his work.
