Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Key West's likable, laid-back sleuth Gideon Lowry, introduced in Killing Me Softly, plays jazz piano, has three ex-wives and doesn't spend too much time lusting after women or shooting a big gun. During an island Hemingway festival, Lowry is hired by a hot new singer named Asia to locate her estranged husband, Frank McGuire, who once wrote about the island's most famous resident. Lowry finds the writer, who has adopted a boozing and brawling Papa-like persona, but the next day learns that McGuire was shot to death at the Hemingway House pool. Subsequent sleuthing connects McGuire to plans for revitalizing the Hemingway Museum and to a suspect oil company, which the dead man had long been investigating and which had a role in Asia's career too. Lowry's loneliness permeates this well-constructed tale, imbuing it with a listless quality of its own. Leslie (Killer in Paradise) depicts the local color with an unexpectedly pale palette; although Lowry seems a true Conch, he doesn't give us a Conch's eye view of his setting.

John Leslie's most recent novel, "Hail to the Chief", co-authored with Carey Winfrey, is a thrilling tale inspired by the 2016 presidential election and is now also available as an audible book. Its events might well have been ripped from today's media headlines. Leslie grew up in the Midwest. After living for more than a decade in Europe and the Middle East, he now divides his time between Key West and Northern California. Originally published by Pocket Books, his Gideon Lowry mysteries have been praised as "taut...evocative and Chandleresque." Please visit his website at: www.johnleslieauthor.com

4.0 out of 5 stars The Hemingway mystique

Once again John Leslie does a great job describing the environs of the story. And it was quite engaging how he worked the story line around Hemingway and the Hemingway House and celebration in Key West.

This series is about 5 books in all. (all the titles are taken from torche songs) Also better to get in and read from first book to last since the background stories "progress". Maybe next summer I will take them all on vacation and re-read in the right order, begin at the beginning next time! If you aren't OCD like that, each is a good read on it's own!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read, good series
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018
My second read from author John Leslie & the second book in The Key West Mysteries was well-written & enjoyable, a tale well-woven over the entire length of the book, the suspense building throughout. So far an enjoyable series that I look forward to reading. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

The more I read of John Leslie's writing, the more I like his style and quality. This is the 2nd of his four Gideon Lowry series, and I'm very much looking forward to books 3 and 4. He's a fantastic storyteller, and his characters are as well developed as his plots.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solidly Interesting Mystery
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2017
It can be a little disconcerting starting in the middle of a series, but these mysteries stand alone as complete stories. I was slightly off-put by the narrators pacing, but I admit to liking narrators with more forward momentum with a faster pace. Thankfully, that is easily corrected since Audible allows you to speed up the narration. The story itself had a few plot holes, but it was still a solidly interesting mystery. When I find myself with more time and a shorter reading list, I may go back and listen to others in this series.

I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left my review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2017
Gideon Lowry is a new favorite. Really enjoyed this one, even more than the first in the series. Gideon is a likable character, a piano playing Private Investigator. Solid mystery kept me guessing til the end. The more you get to know the character, the more you like him, flaws and all. Reminds me of the old school PIs. I listened to the audio version. David Wood has the perfect voice for Gideon and distinguishes the other players as well. You can read my full review at Mystery Suspense Reviews.
