4.0 out of 5 starsNice Twist
December 8, 2014
It reminded me of the old hard boiled, dime store detective stories I liked as a kid, but the Cajun flavor was unmistakable. Though it took me a bit, I figured out the whodunit, but did not foresee the ending. Nice twist.

The only reason I dropped a star is a little editing that was missed that left a few sentences confusing. They broke the flow a little.

3.0 out of 5 starsHoly cliffhanger, Batman!
March 20, 2019
This work couldn't be read without a program - "Program, Program. Can't tell a character from a chapter heading without a Program!" Said Program missing a number of pages from the back; continued in Program Two. I'll leave the work in its free ebook form until I'm ready to afford Book Two.

Not really the kind of mystery I like but I wouldn’t not recommend it. It starts out the characters reminding me of people I worked with and did not care for

All I have to say is wow! I know how it all works in a small town wiTh politics and Scott has hit it right on the head. With how things go in order to get a vote. This book was a quick read and it had a lot of twist and turns and a very surprising ending. Jone well done.

5.0 out of 5 starsDifferent writing style but very suspenseful
September 29, 2014
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
To be honest, it took me a bit to get accustomed to the writing style. The author writes from first person as different characters. When I got used to it, I admit, the book is suspenseful and well written. Like the short length and the serial nature of the series.

1.0 out of 5 starsI didn't. Care for it. It jumped all over the place with no continuity. There was no beginning no middle and no end. The characters were not fleshed out.

I did not care for the book. The characters were not fleshed out, there was no continuity to the story and there was not a clear beginning, middle and no end at all.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Outstanding First!
June 10, 2014
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Kudos to L. Scott Silverii on his first of Cajun murder mystery short stories, By the Numbers! Fast-paced and a quick read, By the Numbers drew this reviewer in from the beginning with its grisly murder scene. By having each main character narrate his/her own part in the plot, Silverii creates well-developed and multifaceted characters and an interwoven storyline that has a shocking and unforeseen ending. Great job, Scott--looking forward to the next one!
