Bad Doctor / Call Me! by John Locke

I've read all of John Locke's books (not the English philosopher, the self-publishing juggernaut), several of these I have read while at the coast. They are entertaining, quick reads with a quick style and twists that you may not see coming.

I found myself at the coast again this Memorial Day and breezed through two of his books I hadn't yet read, Bad Doctor and Call Me!. Both are the first installments of two characters, Dr. Gideon Box and Dani Ripper, respectively.

It helps that he keeps them relatively short, because at the coast I spend a fair amount of time taking bottom-feeding catfish off my sons' hooks. In between my niece being stung by a jelly fish and having to go to Walgreens three times, John Locke did not disappoint.

If you have read his other books, he has an interesting way of bringing in characters from other books for cameos. Along that line, I would also suggest his other series featuring Donovan Creed and a western series he has with Emmett Love.

Bueno Juan, Fo' Stars.
