"IRS agent-turned-PI Mortimer Angel is relaxing in a hole-in-the-wall bar in a Reno casino when an attractive young girl hires him to find out who left her a cryptic message demanding a million dollars. At the girl's house, Mort finds the body of missing rapper Jonnie Xenon--Jo-X to his legions of fans--hanging from the rafters with two bullet holes in him. Mort is shocked when he learns the identity of the girl's father--and even more shocked when the father hires him to investigate the murder. Mort, being Mort, accumulates a few felonies as he follows the clues to Las Vegas. And along the way, he picks up an alluring young assistant who changes his life--in every conceivable way."--Book jacket.… (meer)

Okay yea I really wanted to like this book. First of all, I didn't realize it was part of a series and this is the second book in the series. I HATE going into a book series not with the first one, but I thought I would give it a whirl because maybe it would be a good standalone. Nope, nada. I did not like the main character at all. Like oh there's these pretty women and I'm flirting with them when I should be doing my job and there's a dead man hanging in their garage? Rolls eyes. As a fan of Kinsey Malone, this P.I. fell flat for me and I only made it to page 46! Yup cannot continue reading it or finishing it. Sending it off to greener pastures.

This was a fun book, having read Sam Spade books I enjoyed PI Mort. His relationship with Lucy was hysterical but oddly believable.
Very easy reading. The plot was just twisted enough to keep you interested. (

I requested and was lucky to receive a copy of “Gumshoe on the Loose” by Rob Leininger from The Librarything’s Early Reviewers program. First off I enjoyed this book. The beginning was very slow and I wasn't sure i could finish it, but when he got to the desert diner the book started jumping and form then on was a fun, fast read. The characters were well drawn for not being the first book in a series. You know there was more to the past but not enough that would discourage one to not to pick up the other books. I would recommend this book. I did pass it on to my wife to read. (

Rob Leininger's latest book in the Gumshoe series, Gumshoe on the Loose, is a fast paced story with a rowdy, locker room dialogue to keep you entertained. Mortimer Angel (or as he prefers--Mort) and his new assistant, Lucy Landry, are the perfect duo to solve a murder. Their back-and-forth repartee is engaging. However, too much of the bawdy nature of their conversations to me was a distraction to the story. I'm still thinking about seeking out the first 2 books in the series....but not too seriously. (

I received a copy of “Gumshoe on the Loose” by Rob Leininger from The Librarything’s Early Reviewers program.
This thriller about an ex-IRS agent turned P.I. Was quite entertaining. The more I read, the faster I turned the pages. I’ll look for other novels by Rob Leininger. Plus I learned what Occam’s Razor means. (
