I just finished reading The Unraveling Adventures of Detective Curtis, and it was everything I could have hoped for in a crime story. It's filled with plenty of drama and suspense throughout, keeping me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Detective Curtis' wit and courage are sure to leave an imprint on all readers' minds. It's one adventure you won't soon forget!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Very Strange Read

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2023

I will give it three points for its originality. The writing and structure seriously needs work. I am only speaking for myself when I say this story doesn't really make much sense. I liked what the author tried to do. He tried to create a suspenseful mystery with a bit of magic. There are ghosts, warlocks, a strange warrior, werewolves, and for some strange reason, a city full of armadillos. With the help of a professional writer, this story would have been more engaging, exciting, and funny. I get that it's not easy to write a story like this one, hence, the points for effort. I just hope that book#2 will succeed far better than this first one. That said, keep going. You're on the right track.

I love mystery and crime stories, but I never read anything like this. A detective who solves magical crimes? You definitely need to read this book if you are into mysteries and fantasy.
