If you're on Facebook, sometimes ads will pop up for the types of books you read. That's how I learned about Steve Higgs, a British author who has written many short books with a paranormal tinge to them. His series is called "Blue Moon Investigations" and I read "Jailhouse Golem" which is book 18 in the series.
The book keeps your attention, and the main character, Tempest Michaels is a very skeptical paranormal investigator. In this book, he lands in jail for punching a policeman, and is then recruited by the warden to investigate the reappearance of a golem (man of clay temporarily given life by a living person). The golem has mysteriously appeared after 100 years and murdered some inmates and an officer.
The book is pretty fast-paced (after all, it's a Novella), and has a good twist to the story at the end. Although I wanted more "paranormal" in the story, it was still enjoyable. Especially the main character and his cellmate. And the cover features a handsome man with a golem- so it was eye-catching, and gave me an image of the main character to visualize as I read.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Incarcerated for a crime he gladly committed, paranormal detective, Tempest Michaels, has been enjoying the peace and quiet. But all that is about to change …
… there’s a monster roaming the prison’s passageways at night and it’s just taken a life.The legend of the jailhouse golem is more than two hundred years old and though it has been investigated in the past, no one has ever come close to solving the mystery.
He won’t get paid for this one, but there’s something more valuable at stake … his life.
Surrounded by inmates who want to kill him, facing a creature that cannot be killed because it isn’t alive, and worried the very guards employed to protect him might be the ones behind it all, Tempest Michaels faces his toughest challenge yet.
Worse yet, he’s all alone.
Get ready for a tale so fast-paced you’ll lose your breath!
The paranormal? It’s all nonsense, but proving it might get him killed.
