Praise for the acclaimed first novel in the Reed Ferguson mystery series, THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE MOVIES:

Kirkus Reviews on this private investigator series:
The promising kickoff to Pawlish's comic mystery series, starring far-from-perfect PI Reed Ferguson. Pawlish earns high marks for plot construction, with twists and turns naturally unfolding as Ferguson, inexperienced but not incapable, feels his way through the case. A good-humored mystery series worth following.

Readers' Favorite on this mystery series:
This is one witty, hilarious private detective story that will keep the reader glued to the pages until the very end.

5 Star Review
There is little doubt that Renée Pawlish is a promising new voice to the comic murder/mystery genre. Quite noticeable...is Pawlish's adept development of the plot coupled with her ability to contrive clear, concise and playful prose with almost perfect pacing.

Ratings and reviews

The story moved along nicely, another great whodunit from Renee Pawlish. A few editing errors but easy to read over.

Reed Ferguson is an old-style detective from the Marlow/Spade era living in the modern age. He comes complete with the obligatory oddball friends and a not-oddball girlfriend who worries about his career choices. The books are well-written with many references to the heydays of the great detective movies.

I can't stop reading the Reed Ferguson mysteries awesome characters and plots love how the author slips film noir movie titles in the stories going to read another right now!
