Murder at RKO edition by Woodrow W Walker Literature Fiction eBooks
In the spirit of pulp detective novels of the mid-twentieth century, Murder at RKO follows in the footsteps already blazed by the likes of Ellery Queen, Mickey Spillane and Dashiell Hammett. It's a period piece, a throwback, if you will, to a story theme and style that many of us grew up with. The protagonist, private detective Buck Ames, narrates the story much like a radio serial.He is called to solve a murder mystery on a movie set due to his Hollywood background. There is the love triangle, the obligatory friction between Ames and the police detectives assigned to the case, and there are no surprise twists in the resolution. All in all, this story plays out much like the aforementioned references. In many ways it was actually more interesting as a trip down memory lane to a bygone era.
Except it didn't start out with: It was a dark and stormy night.

Murder at RKO edition by Woodrow W Walker Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
"Murder at RKO" was a great read. The story reminded me of times past when I was a young woman and watched Dragnet with my mom and dad. It also had a flare like the mystery stories told on the radio so long ago that you may now hear at different times on the public radio stations.
Told in first person, we meet Buck Ames, a former stunt man who is now a PI. He is called in to investigate a murder at RKO and gets right down to solving the case. The author's character development was excellent for the amount of space this tale took, and he left you with a desire to join PI Ames in other murder solving mysteries. Nice job! Recommended.
