Description
Book SynopsisAlmost two years have passed since Aaron Custer supposedly set a fire at a house in Columbus that killed three college students, when it starts to seem likely that the wrong man is in prison.
Trade Review“Even more gripping than his debut novel, this second installment firmly establishes Welsh-Huggins as a rising star in the genre. Expect a late—and rewarding—night of addictive reading.” * Richmond Times-Dispatch *
“Andy gets a lot wrong before getting it right, but his dogged digging is fun to follow.” * Publishers Weekly *
“With snappy dialogue and a hard-boiled protagonist,
Slow Burn is a timely, refreshing return to the pulp novels of long ago. It’s a wonderful mix of vintage detective work with a modern nod toward Mike Hammer.”
“Great fun to read….
Grade: A” * Cincinnati CityBeat *
“Brisk pacing and a convoluted plot make
Slow Burn a juicy, satisfying thriller as Andy follows multiple improbable but increasingly convincing leads…a rousing read that will gratify the most jaded of mystery fans, with added interest for those familiar with Columbus.” * ForeWord Reviews *
“
Slow Burn starts strong and gets better. It’s a solid mystery firmly anchored in the private eye tradition, but not weighed down by the clichés of it. The Andy Hayes series, featuring a detective with a tarnished past working out of Ohio’s capital city, has a lot of potential. I suspect that it will wear well.”
“Welsh-Huggins scores again with the second book in his Andy Hayes mystery series, a tale that will seem familiar to those who recall a 2003 house fire that killed several students near the Ohio State campus. The author’s narrative fits comfortably in the realm of American mystery writing, and he remains true to his mission of making Columbus a co-star.”
