Review of Three Weeks in Winter
Three Weeks in Winter by Joseph LeValley is the story of Tony Harrington, a small town journalist, who happens to get involved in a much bigger story when one of his friends from the County Sheriff's Department goes missing. Soon Tony, accompanied by his actress girlfriend, are investigating a crime so big that it involves foreign spies and threats to national security. Tony and Darcy struggle along with the FBI to uncover the truth behind their friend's death while at the same time saving potentially thousands of lives.
This book is simultaneously a thriller full of espionage and intrigue, a mystery that will keep you guessing, and a story about relationships and the sacrifices people make for their lines of work. The characters all come alive on the page and interact well with each other. The dialogue is natural and easy to follow. Although this is part of a series of books following Tony Harrington's adventures, it is very much a standalone novel and can be understood and enjoyed without reading any other books in the series.
I really enjoyed this book. It made me want to read more in this series. It was fast-paced and kept me on my toes. As I read, I was eager to know what happened next. The plot of the book was interesting, and it seemed like the author put a good amount of research into creating believable scenarios and settings.
The only negative aspect of this book for me was the way Tony and Darcy seemed to figure things out faster than the FBI and other more qualified professionals. At some point, the FBI even started asking Tony and Darcy for their opinions, as they couldn't seem to solve the case on their own. This part of the novel felt a little bit unbelievable to me, but I was able to suspend my belief for the sake of the novel, and it didn't detract too much.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. It kept me entertained until the end. I felt invested in the story and would gladly read more Tony Harrington novels after this one. The book seemed professionally edited, and I only noticed a handful of errors. I would recommend this book to mystery and thriller fans. There are some political topics covered in the book that may be sensitive issues for some people, but if you can keep an open mind, I think it's a great story to be enjoyed by all.

I'm always on the lookout for my next series! I like the plot concept in this book. It sounds like the author did all the right things - creating a good mystery to solve, suspense, and fast-pacing!
