Reviewed by SnowdropPrivate investigator and amateur magician Jolly Lomax finds himself in over his head when he’s hired by a rich widow to stop her daughter from pilfering funds from their shared bank account. The complication? The girl’s been dead for over a year and the woman believes it’s her daughter’s ghost who’s responsible for the withdrawals. Against his better judgment Jolly takes the case, little knowing that following the dead daughter’s trail will lead directly to a villainous plot that may well threaten the safety and security of the entire world.
What a great mystery novel and what a great plot! P.I. Jolly Lomax spends part of his days as an Investigator and the other part as an amateur Magician. You just never know what part you might get in this humorous mystery with lots of twists and turns.
Anyone who has read my reviews knows that I love great Private Investigators with lots of chutzpah and plenty of tough guy personality but as soft as a baby’s bottom when it comes to caring about the people who really need help. You know the kind…Mr. Good Guy himself. Well…I found one right here. Jolly Lomax, is all of the above and Dan Gilvezan created him along with some other very fun cohorts. You have your good guys, your bad guys, and your love interest, along with plenty of action. This is all packed into 126 pages and I loved every minute of it.
Dan Gilvezan is an actor and has appeared in many sitcoms, He was the voice for the animated Spiderman. He should be able to write too don’t you think? Sure seems like he can to me and I noticed from the other reviews of his books, many other people have the same good taste I do.
I sure hope we get to see another Jolly Lomax pull another bunny out of his hat or something soon.
