The plot sounds interesting but the review just discouraged me from reading it. Thanks for the honest review.

I'm confused too. Is the CIA agent Hank Boucher investigating the company CEO's death or the trafficking of stolen military weapons? Or did something go wrong with the CEO and the weapons?
From the investigative movies I've watched, the heights and weights of the characters are how they determine who killed the victim and especially carried the body into the trash container.
According to the review, I would've declined the book but it also raised the above questions, which are better to be answered in a movie, rather than a book. Thanks for the review!

I can also appreciate a moderate use of backreads and the good use of characters and scenes details. Great and honest review. Thank you

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Hank Boucher will be able to solve the mystery behind the murder of the CEO and what the role the new trash collector will be in this mystery novel. I love reading mystery novels because I always solve them even before the end of the chapter and I’m quite challenged with this one.

I have read some of Jerry Greenberg's other novels. I notice he uses subliminal messages in a lot of what he writes. I believe that the trash collector's ability to distinguish social classes by the amount of waste is one of those messages. The people who waste more could obviously do better with the resources they have by sharing with those who are less fortunate. I look forward to reading this book. Nice review.

I'm not a fan of crime thrillers, so I will pass on this one. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Thanks for the review. The plot seems interesting, but the author did not make it dynamic enough for me to read it. Solving crimes through conversations is not exciting. I hope others enjoy it. Congrats on BOTD.

I don't think this book might fit for me. Because the review says it all, and the free sample isn't engaging enough to read. Thanks for your review.

I read the book last month and enjoyed it immensely. It has some flaws; however, I was led through various emotions, from a snort to deep concern for the good guys. This is what I look for when I read. Thanks for your detailed opinion.

Thanks for your very honest review. I like readers who are not afraid to give real reviews. I am glad it’s a clean book. I may want to give it a try, I’m not into real deep dark mysteries, so this may be for me. Ty again.

'Official Review: Murder in the Garbage' by Jerry A. Greenberg is a critical analysis of the action thriller story of the book. It is a useful research work on the tale of a large garbage collection company with mob ties. The point that the story is about a CIA agent uncovering an illegal network involved in trafficking stolen military networks is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that the author uses rubbish to initiate commentaries about social class differences, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the writing style of the author is straightforward!

I wonder how a CEO would die in a trash can. Your summary wants me to know who is the real culprit in this weapon dealings.
