New acclaim and 5 Stars for A Shot In The Arm!

Barry Willdorf's latest in his noir-ish series is a detective story with a sense of geography, a sense of morality, and a sense of humor. Set in San Francisco in the 1970s and written by a lawyer with street cred who lived through those turbulent times, A Shot in the Arm is also a blast to read. Just add java. --Frances Lefkowitz author of TO HAVE NOT,

Frances's To Have Not is a really great book. I highly recommend it.  She's an exceptional writer and observer.

And also, to my surprise, because I haven't a clue how she go her hands on this book: Arlena Dean

"A Shot in the Arm" by Barry Willdorf was really a good read. It kept me on the edge of my seat through most of the read. Indeed you can tell that Mr. Willdorf that he had some lawyer background due to all details that he gave us on this great ride.

You can read the rest of the 5-STAR REVIEW on Goodreads.

After Reading Part Two: A Verdict!

Barry Willdorf's Seventies trilogy is a brilliant creation! I wasn't able to put the book down. In A Shot in the Arm, Barry Willdorf once more writes up a storm.  Just as in the previous installment, Burning Questions, attorney Nate Lewis bumbles his way into a dark murder plot, but it's the reader who gets hooked. His re-creation of period detail, mood, and state of mind is right on the money, and his characters rock. Willdorf understands the dark side of the law and the dark side of this country.
