YUCKY YATES

MIKE FARICY

Prolific and veteran mystery writer Mike Faricy, author of numerous series, including the long-running Dev Haskell series, comes up with another winner. The new series is entitled Yucky Yates.

Yates is a former DEA agent who has started a private investigation business. Yates is joined by his partners and other support staff, who contribute to making the first book of the series entertaining and amusing. It revolves around an old-school friend of Yates who has gone missing after being married to a strip club owner for several years. As the book proceeds, we observe Yates and his team as they attempt to discover the details behind the disappearance. We gain insight into how Yucky operates and what his motivation is for solving the case. Yucky is more straightforward than Faricy's more well-known protagonist, Dev Haskell, but readers need not worry. Series readers can look forward to many more adventures with Yucky and his staff as they solve the cases that are brought to their attention daily.

Current followers of the author have much to look forward to, as the author will most assuredly develop this series and characters into a long-running adventure that will be anticipated with great eagerness.

Yucky Yates is a winner, and I highly recommend that veteran readers of the Dev Haskell and his other series pick up the Yucky Yates novel and prepare themselves for an entertaining PI novel.
