What a great crime read. I haven't been to this area of Florida but felt that I was reading this - it was exciting and told the all aspects in the detective story. Highly recommend and I'm hoping for a book 4.

I enjoyed "Unfinished Business," and I enjoyed "Business as Usual" even more. As I mentioned in the title, once I started, I couldn't stop - just had to see "who dun it." Having lived in the Tampa area for a lot of years, it's fun to read about local places, and I enjoyed picturing the scenes in my head as I read the story. GREAT mystery! Thanks, David Ashmore, and congratulations on another fine story!
