Hollis and Gray by J.P. Zeigler is book 1 in the Serafina Gray mystery series. Serafina Gray works for private investigator Frank Hollis, but he sees her as more of a daughter. Hollis is ill, and he wants answers about the deaths of Serafina’s parents before time runs out for him. But delving into the past puts them both in danger and sets a chain of events in motion that must now play out, regardless of the consequences. When he discovers the truth about Serafina's parents' deaths and who tried to kill him, things get even more dangerous, and secrets are bound to be spilled.
Hollis and Gray by J.P. Zeigler is a cracking start to a new series, filled with action and suspense. The story grabs you from the start, and as the tension builds, it pulls you in ever deeper until the surprise ending you won’t guess in a million years. The writing is compelling and descriptive enough to let you live the story, and the characters are wonderful, real people that you quickly become invested in and like. Their development builds up through the plot, allowing readers to get to know them properly. The story flicks back to the past at times, but this is done in such a way that it feels smooth and doesn’t confuse the reader. The ending sets the stage for another book, so here’s hoping it won’t be too long before it arrives. A thoroughly enjoyable story with plenty to keep one reading. Highly recommended to all fans of mystery stories.
