[eBook News] Complete 'Nick Storie' Mystery Series Back in Print
Det. Lt. Nick Storie Naples Homicide series fully listed.C. D. Moulton, author of the Nick Storie murder mystery series announced
that the 17 books in the series are now fully edited and revised, and are listed at Lulu.com.
Book one, Bon Appetite!: People are dying from a strange poison. The only
thing they have in common is shopping at or working for Watson's Market.
Is it a new plague? A terrorist attack? A serial killer? Was one or more
of the victims the real target? Or was it far more sinister than that?
Book two: A Small Detail/Odd Jobs. A popular man goes out on a boat with a statuesque woman - and doesn't return. His body is found, but the woman's is not. Part two, a strikingly handsome gardener finds a body in a flower bed.
Book three: Night shift A collection of shorts.
The series has stories from a number of odd angles. Nick makes friends with the top gangsters in the country, who respect him for his honesty. They know they aren't getting one extra inch from him. Some adventures are extremely bizarre, some more mundane, but all contain puzzles for Nick to solve. Nick solves them, usually within a very short time, but lacks any way to prove guilt in court.
Critics note that Nick is an honest, hard-working cop, not a flawed
neurotic with a past, which is refreshing in what is offered today. Moulton's writing, in this series, is easy to picture as being a
movie. Moulton admits that the original idea was to write stories that could be used in a series on TV. The person who first suggested that idea has posted a review on Amazon. Critics note that the Nick Storie books are not mired in description, but concentrate on the stories and the interactions of the characters. It takes several books to become familiar with them, but they are the connecting thread, not the focus. The stories stand alone, meaning it is not necessary to read the preceding books to understand the story being presented, though reading them in
order does add to the experience. One is able to understand the characters and to like or dislike them through that process.
All of Moulton's works may be found on his website, C. D. Moulton -

Hi! I read some of the Nick Storie books and they are really a lot better than all that blood and guts garbage. At least he's just a cop doing what cops do, and not some scumbag hiding behind his badge!
