Sheila and Brad Gilbert are on a path to divorce. That's because Rafe has the goods on Brad's cheating ways. Plus, Sheila has troubles with the crazy lady next door. When they turn up dead in the woods, could the crazy lady be the killer, or the pleasant neighbor, the other next door neighbor? 36 Kindle Pages.
Rafe Velez is a fictional character, based on a real person alive today. One thing you can be sure of: you will never, ever guess who he actually is!
As a private investigator, Rafe dealt with decades of crime, divorce, death and depravity – and barely broke even. Pushing 50, he had a few extra pounds around the middle, a sprinkling of gray hair and a cynical view of life, relieved only by a deadpan sense of humor. All of that changed one day, thanks to a windfall he didn't expect.
Enter the world of the Rafe Velez Mysteries: intrigue, suspense, mystery, crime and a cast of characters taken from real life (and changed just enough to protect their identities – at least, until the statute of limitations expires). Enter into the mind of a man whose life is an open book – that should be suppressed!
Meet his friends, frenemies and frequent locations for his adventures:
• Detectives Toole and Williams, Robbery/Homicide's finest – said nobody, never.
• Harpo, a stray dog that wandered into his life and has a great sense of humor.
• Jean Smalls, the first woman in a long time who threatens to take his bachelor card.
• Keith Verdi, electrical contractor, who has other talents – and secrets.
• Momo Argento, the semi-retired Don of a crime family, who keeps a hand in the game.
• The Greasy Spoon restaurant, a real tribute to truth in advertising.
• The Shiny Penny, your soon-to-be-favorite dive bar.
...and a motley crew of clients and suspects. Expect surprises: not every client is on the right side of the law and not every suspect is guilty.
You won't always know what's going on in the minds of the supporting characters. You will always know exactly what Rafe is thinking – unless he's not thinking at all!
Discover The Rafe Velez Mysteries. No, really, go ahead! PG Rated – no four letter words or explicit sex, but if you read between the lines...
My Review:The Unpleasant Neighbor by A.B. Stonebridge
4 STARS
This is a short story. It has interesting characters. I would like to know more about them but for a short story it works.
It is violent but clean. Even the murder is really clean.
Rafe is a private detectives. He won a lottery and bought a house. Has a office in it. I like him, but I don't know if I want to read more short stories featuring him.
He is hired by a wealthy woman to discover if her husband was cheating on her.
I did not care really about the murder victims or murder. I was more interested in Rafe's new dog and girl friend.
I was given this ebook to read and asked in return to give honest review by Netgalley.
