Falcon's Bend, a small sleepy town in Wisconsin, is just that, and doesn't see an overabundance of violent crime. That is until one fateful night when a dancer from the town's Gentlemen’s Club is found strangled. As the investigations get underway, Detectives Pete Shasta and Danny Vincent soon learn that things are a little strange, particularly for those associated with the club. In fact, all the dancers as well as the club owners live in the same house like one big family, a very dysfunctional family. What they can’t understand is the total control the owner seems to have over the girls. Pete and Danny race to solve the mystery. Is it someone on the outside or someone within? Can they get it done before someone else meets the same fate?
I found "Degrees of Separation: Falcon’s Bend Series, Book 1" to be a very good read. The characters are well defined and the dialog skillfully done. Moving between characters, the authors adeptly bring the reader on a wild ride to a satisfactory conclusion. The book does contain sex, violence and strong language. Unfortunately, there was one little thing that was almost annoying. The authors chose to use strong language but only used the first and last letter of the words with symbols filled in between. Although I prefer reading stories without strong language I feel that if an author chooses to use such language then he should use it, or find other descriptive words. But despite that small distraction, the reader will find it to be a very good mystery story.
