East Beach: Red Farlow Mystery Series #2 by W.F. Ranew – Review By Crystal Davidson

East Beach by W.F. Ranew
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I cannot help but rate this book 4 stars! This is the third book in the Red Farlow Mystery series by W.F Ranew. This story starts off as a page turner and stays that way from beginning to end. Farlow gets a weird call and decides to check on his friend and former boss because of it. Harlow find his friend shot 4 times, however there are 5 bullets, and a bloody trail leading to the beach. Farlow is a very well-liked a capable PI. As Farlow investigates his friends murder, he uncovers deceptions that include drugs, guns, sex crimes, love triangles and more. This story has disturbing content meant only for adults, and some parts. Might be hard to read. Farlow has a large network of people that I found Impressive, and I enjoyed most of the characters he works with. I like that eve the “good guys” have bad tendencies. It shows that all people are human. I also LOVE Ranew’s use of metaphors. They are slid in so smooth and gave me a chuckle each time I came across one. It was one of the things I enjoyed about book 2 as well. Another common trait between book 2 and book 3 is the amount of characters. They all eventually tie in, but the twists are unpredictable, and you must pay attention because every little detail matters and you can easily lose track of what is happening and who is who. I feel like this book can be read as a standalone as well as part of the series and I highly recommend all fans of suspense read this!
