East Beach (Red Farlow Mysteries: #3)East Beach by W.F. Ranew
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

East Beach by W.F. Ranew is the third book in the Red Farlow Mysteries series. These books can be read as standalone but I’m finding are better enjoyed reading them in order. I am catching up on the books I missed in the series. The story is well written and sets the reader up with twists and turns. Everyone looks forward to retirement but FBI Agent Joseph Trammell is not. When Farlow finds him dying from being shot at home the mystery starts. There are some great twists and suspense involved in the story and it keeps me reading until late at night. I really am enjoying the stories and characters. I look forward to reading more in this series and author in the future.

East Beach: Red Farlow Mysteries: #3 by W.F. Ranew. I love a good mystery and this story definitely delivered in spades! This author has a way of having readers on the edge of their seats at least I know I was. The details are all well developed and the storyline is smooth, interesting and engaging. The characters are complex and relatable pulling you into their world. I definitely was happy to get lost for a few hours in the intriguing story. I found myself trying to read both faster and slower but I just had to know what would happen next. I’ll definitely be looking into more from this author. Four stars and highly recommended.

East Beach (Red Farlow Mysteries: #3)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!

The Red Farlow Mysteries series is well written and the characters are written in well too. I love reading what mystery PI Red Farlow gets involved in with each book. In the 3rd book, Red gets a call from a friend who is hurt and rushes out to help him. What does Red find? His friend has been shot and there is blood all around him. Now we know Red will keep searching for what happened and find answers about what happened. The story is so good, you won’t want to stop reading.

This was an exciting and thrilling read – so much so that I devoured it in one sitting and it’s not usually a genre that I read! The author’s writing was so engaging, detailed and descriptive and it’s definitely made me want to read more books by him again in the future. I loved that the whole way through I was constantly guessing trying to figure out what was going to happen and just when I thought I had worked it out the author threw in a plot twist!! I really liked the main character; he was intriguing to read about!
This is the third book in this series however I read it as a standalone and had no problems but I would definitely like to read the first two now and any subsequent releases!

I find myself delving deeper into the mysteries and I can’t help but get entrapped in my imagination as they take us to the most unpredictable places with each case. This book is no different with where we go with Red to solve this case. Every turn is more suspenseful then the next as we follow quickly along with intrigue. I love how well developed it is that it seemed like a movie as I dreamed about the book at night after each chapter as it came to life as I slept. Every character was well likeable (at least to me) for different reasons.

East Beach (Red Farlow Mysteries #3) by W.F. Ranew

Ranew has really outdone himself. I can’t wait for the next one. He will have you trying to figure out who did what before you finally find out. A great read.

Red Farlow a PI gets a phone call no one wants to get. A friend is hurt and Red hauls butt there. He walks in to find his friend dying and blood on the floor.

Red calls in friends to help him out with this case. The quote I chose for Red is: “You can only get onto and off the island three ways. One is by air to or from McKinnon airport. Two, by water. Three, by car, bicycle, or foot over the Torras Causeway to the mainland. A boat could be a problem since the tide was incoming at that time, or so I believe. Have to double-check. The easiest and quickest route is by auto over the causeway.”

Highly recommended for crime lovers.

East Beach by W.F. Ranew is the 3rd book in the Red Farlow Mystery series. This is a highly intriguing book that is full of twists and turns the entire way through.
This is one of those books that you really have to pay attention to as there is so much going on. The author has created a complex and intriguing plot that really keeps the pages turning. I gave up trying to figure out what was going to happen because the author was so good at leading down a certain path only to change things up in a second.
This book was well written and full of suspense it really was a brilliant book to read. I would definitely recommend this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have really enjoyed the Red Farlow Mysteries by WF Ranew, so when I saw there was a new one available I instantly one-clicked. I was not disappointed with East Beach either, in fact this may just be my favorite so far. Ranew really has a knack for writing suspense and mystery. I was constantly second guessing myself as I read, wondering if things really were what they seemed on the surface, but this sucker throws in some twists and turns that you won’t see coming. I was on the edge of my seat and found myself reading this in one fell swoop well past my bedtime. I really loved the backdrop as well I felt as if I was visiting a mysterious and creepy misty beach town the entire time.

In Easy Beach we find Red Farlow, the PI we have come to love, receiving an odd message from his friend. When he decides to look into it more and go to his friend he discovers him laying in a pool of blood after being shot. He will now stop at nothing to discover who killed his friend and why. The adventure is one you won’t want to miss and I can’t wait to see what else we will find Red Farlow doing next!

East Beach: Red Farlow Mysteries: #3 by W.F. Ranew is a mystery thriller story. It will have you thinking you had it figured out only to be slipped a twist and a turn here and there and you had no idea. WF is very good a character building and they are well written. Red finds his friend on deaths door and is now on the hunt to find out who did this. The trail leads to drugs and cartel and your share of seedy bad guys. It also leads to more questions than answers. There are a lot of moving people and pictures in this story but WF does a good job of pulling it all together.

I give East Beach: Red Farlow Mysteries: #3 by W.F. Ranew, 5 stars.

This is another great book in a wonderful Hard Boiled PI series. The story has so many twists and turns, I dare you to keep track the entire time. But don’t worry, it will all make sense as you go on. I was never exactly of the big picture since the author made sure to throw in a few subplots, but I could not put the book down — I needed to see what happened next. Such a gripping, twisting story.

But what this author really excels at and makes them stand apart is their character development. Each and every character in this story has an extensive back story. This makes them feel all that much real and you understand them so much better. You never really know who will be important later on or not, so you are left guessing just what role the character will play later on. I enjoy this aspect of the book, it makes the story feel all that more real.

This book deals with some adult situations, so I would not recommend it for a younger audience, but if you like your detective stories gritty and fully of suspense and action, this book is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

East Beach is the third book in the Red Farlow Mysteries series by W.F Ranew. This is an in intriguing murder mystery, with crime investigation, PI, drama, danger, drug dealers, and some surprising developments. I enjoyed the previous book, but this is definitely my pick of the bunch, so far.
Red Farlow gets a strange message from a friend that has him concerned. When he arrives, he finds his friend on death door, having been shot. With his final words ringing in his ears, Red is determined to discover who shot his friend and why. And so the mystery begins.
As with the previous books, this is a detailed and descriptive story that is cleverly woven. There were a few minor issues for me, but they didn’t detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the story.

Thank you, W.F Ranew!

5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book EAST BEACH (Red Farlow Mysteries No. 3) by W.F. Ranew. It is a story that includes secrets, mystery, and danger. I was pulled in from the very beginning. This book has PI Red Farlow finding Joseph Trammell dying in his home. Who had shot and killed Joseph Trammell? Read this book for the full story. This is a book that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the character of Red Farlow. He is intelligent, resourceful, and once on an investigation has a fierce determination to find the truth. He would be someone I would want to hire as a PI. This story has many twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. Many characters are introduced and many of them help Red in his investigation. Then some have other plans and agendas. They don’t care about anyone but themselves. This is a who-done-it that is exciting and entertaining to read. You won’t be able to put it down until the final page. The author does a wonderful job of making the story and the characters come alive. I would highly recommend reading this book and series.
