Book Review: Yesterday's Thief by Al Macy

4/28/2017

Yesterday's Thief by Al Macy caught me by surprise. I've not read too many Supernatural PI novels, but I enjoyed the added SciFi spin Al Macy put on his.

Eric Beckman uses his unique talent to solve cases that leave the cops stumped by picking up on leads no one else can access. When a beautiful woman inexplicably materializes at home plate in the middle of a baseball game, Eric's career follows a new course that will change his world in more ways than one.

Part Sam Space, part medium, Eric has to decide if he's going to help the mysterious Viviana or unload her on the FBI. More than one life will be affected by his decision.

What I liked:
The characters are fun and authentic. They felt like real people with individual goals and troubles. Mr. Macy's writing style pulled me into the story, and I felt like I was getting to know the characters while they became acquainted with each other.

What I didn't like:
There's nothing about this story that made my questioning my decision to start and continue.

I gave Yesterday's Theif a solid five stars because it was one of those stories I just couldn't put down until I reached its cathartic end.
