A NEW PROSPECT reviewed by Julie Bertolini at My Book Retreat

A New Prospect is a great mystery that kept me guessing for quite some time about the killer. But what really makes this novel great are the characters and the voice of the narrator, Sam Jenkins. Jenkins is a sarcastic guy who tells us exactly what he’s thinking ~ and it’s so much fun to be inside his head. The language Zurl uses, the way he successfully presents the southern dialect without annoying the reader, and the fun banter that makes up much of the dialog make for a very enjoyable read.
If you like detective stories and mysteries that incorporate lots of humor and realistic interactions between people, I highly recommend this one. I know I’ll be reading more in the Sam Jenkins series.
