Retirement. Publishers, thank you for the many years of reading pleasure you gave me, but all good things must come to an end. Due to failing eyesight I am forced to retire. I can no longer review your books, and any that you send will be donated to the local library, unread. Do not send any more. I can only read for a couple hours every day, and this does not allow me to finish a book in reasonable time. I will be devoting time to my own books from now on, and reading on a personal level. Books that interest me. I prefer paperbacks and hardbacks, not eBooks. My eyesight has been failing the last few years, and I cannot handle hundreds of review books any more. My books are still available for review. Anyone interested in reviewing any of them, they are found in the Link to Tom’s Books On Amazon. Contact me for pdf copies at fadingshadows40@gmail.com

The Case of The Invisible Souls

The Case of The Invisible Souls (Mystery)
By R. Weir
Independent Publishing
ASIN #B071SJPFTZ
Price $0.99
53 Pages
Rating 5-Stars


Private Detective Jarvis Mann of Denver returns to his office after a brief workout in the December cold of the Mile High City. Shortly there’s a knock at his door and he finds a homeless man standing there. After a few minutes debating what he should do, he lets him in. Parker Turner is an ex-Army vet down on his luck, but he’s not looking for anything for himself. Some of his friends are missing, and he wants Jarvis to find out what happened to them.

Starting his investigation at the Invisible Souls Mission, he meets a black woman named Pastor Sam (Samantha), also an ex-Army vet, who tough as nails. He learns that men have been coming to the Mission to recruit workers with the promise of money, but they never return. It’s up to Jarvis to uncover the plot, even if he has to become a homeless person himself to discover the truth.

This was a really nice story, written by a writer who can use words to tell a good story without a lot of profanity and violence. It’s almost Christmas, so we know it will end okay, even after a confrontation that leaves one of the homeless in the hospital. The kind of story we might have seen as a Christmas movie on TV back in the 1970s. For those of you, like me, who enjoys a well-written mystery without all the vulgar scenes and profanity we have today, I can highly recommend this for a family mystery.
