Donovan Grant lost his mind, his wife, and his career. Now he may be losing even more. Lately, and with distressing regularity, he’s been finding himself standing over dead people while holding the murder weapon. Even worse, he’s his own prime suspect. And that new woman in his life? She may be next on his list . . . that’s if he’s not on hers.

From Publishers Weekly: An Agatha Christie inspired confection stays true to its roots, with enough clues and plot twists to keep the reader guessing until the end . . . . The novel is airy fun, carried by its two likable and witty central characters.

Fiji, flying, fun and murder.

25 dicembre 2015 - Pubblicato su Amazon.com

Acquisto verificato

Are you looking for a good old fashioned whodunit with witty characters in an exotic locale? This is the book for you.

I was hooked from the first page as the protagonist stands in front of a pop machine and is crippled by the decision of which soda to choose. He has survived some life changing situation but is left with the inability to make any decisions. His job is taken away from him, his wife is gone and he is devastated.

In Fiji.

If you have to be devastated, you might as well be devastated in Fiji.

After that, there is mystery, romance, and of course, murder.

Oh, and he's a pilot.

Read it.

One good read

In the dedication, R.Doug Wicker mentions his agent -- his "long suffering" agent -- "who tried so diligently to find a publisher" for Decisions. Were I that agent, I would have, too, because this one deserves that kind of effort. This is one good read.

Even though I'm a seasoned reader of mysteries, I kept getting it wrong. I can truthfully say I suspected who the killer was long before the end of the story. That's because I suspected practically everybody at one time or the other. Sure, I puzzled out a thing or two, but as soon as I had a handle on "who done it," that one wound up dead. Bodies were dropping all over the place.

I liked the main character, Donovan Grant, though I have to say he's one of the oddest characters I've ever met in a book. Is he hero or anti-hero? It takes a while to figure that out. One thing's obvious right off the bat: He's a royal pain in the ass most of the time.

I sort of agree with the reviewer who commented on how you want to reach in and slap Grant around a little now and then. I would've liked to shake some sense into the guy, myself, especially there at the end. Why? Because he's such a male, with all his fragile ego hanging out around the edges. I mean what's a girl gotta do, for Pete's sake? Can't tell you more about that without giving too much away so you'll simply have to read it.

Most of those who reviewed the book after reading only the sample or the synopses couldn't help but get it wrong. There's much more depth to this psychologically tortured Donovan Grant character than we're allowed to see right away. It builds, along with the almost non-stop action.

The author allows us insight into the sadness of a wounded soul, the torment of PTSD. We watch Grant as he struggles under a burden of guilt and overwhelming sorrow. He is confused, yet clever like a fox; never quite sure of himself, yet cocky as they come. Think I can get away with calling it poignant machismo? If you've read it, you'll know what I mean.

Is it funny? Oh yeah. I laughed out loud in places. Some thought of this as a light read and you could take it as that. Or, pay closer attention and discover many layers.

Wicker makes smooth transition to fiction

7 febbraio 2011 - Pubblicato su Amazon.com

DECISIONS by R. Doug Wicker may have a rather bland title, but the story inside has personality, a unique set-up, and plenty of solid storytelling. A cross between a whodunit and romantic suspense, DECISIONS tells the story of Donovan Grant, a fellow who, after a personal tragedy, finds himself so emotionally handicapped he is incapable of making any decisions at all, or at least those that don't involve preserving his own life.

Relocated to a tropical island and given gainful employment, Grant finds himself thrust suddenly into troubling circumstances: people visiting the Fijian paradise where he works keep turning up dead, and Grant keeps finding himself waking up near dead bodies, often holding the weapon that caused the death of the victim.

With Grant in charge of island security and a tropical storm holding the police at bay, and with himself as his own prime suspect, he must determine who the murderer is ... even if it's himself ... before more people wind up dead.

The author, whose only previous published work was a nonfiction book focused on the bombing of Pan-Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, makes a smooth transition into the world of fiction with his debut novel. While some of his situations stretch credibility a bit, such stretches are not beyond the bounds of what is normal for the murder mystery genre, generally speaking.

There is some rough language in the novel, especially in the early going, but nothing extraneous or over-the-top; just enough to project a sense of the characters involved without descending into profanity overkill.

DECISIONS is not for younger readers; it's definitely rated PG-13 at the minimum, but that also is part and parcel of the genre this novel inhabits. The most important aspect of DECISIONS is that it entertains. It features smart characters who at times manage to stay a step ahead of what most readers might intuit, which is a measure more effective than many such genre novels tend to pull off these days.

While not exactly a master prose stylist, Wicker writes in an accessible manner that allows for a quick, fun read. And that covers over a multitude of sins.

Ex Air Traffic Controller Angsts Attractively

17 gennaio 2008 - Pubblicato su Amazon.com

The best part of this excerpt is the snappy use of language. The worst part is that I simply could not figure out what 'business' the protagonist had been in, until I guessed it from some external clues. Trying to figure that out really slowed me down, but finding out made a lot of little details fall into place.

Grant isn't terribly likable, but despite that, he's a lot of fun to read. He's a clever guy who seems like he's come to terms with his strange disability (an inability to make decisions unless his life is in danger), so there isn't actually a lot of angst. He's kept busy at his place of employment, presumably because he can't actually say 'no' to orders-- and I look forward to finding out if that's actually the reason, and how it came about. His easy competence and playful dialogue makes me eager to see how the murder mystery plays out. I was a little surprised at how easily he talks about his problem to strangers, though. Perhaps that's also explained later in the story.

I did not think about lunch at any time while reading this review, but I did stumble a few times.
