Having to cope with rude bosses could be very frustrating. I already fall in love with the storyline and the interesting plot of this book. I hope I would not have a disappointing experience when I finally pick the book. Congrats to the author on being the #BOTD!

Thanks for your honest review. I read the sample chapters on Amazon and it was rather slow-moving. The story has not reached the murder scene at the end of the sample. I would have thought that novels (these days) usually present a significant event fairly early in the book. I haven't decided whether I should read the book. Perhaps I will give it a chance just to see how it turns out!

I recently read an entire detective series, something I had no previous desire to do, and it turned out well. Seeing someone else, like Hank, be able to solve these mysteries gives me hope.

Crime novels are not my favourite read, although the setting of a trash collecting company is very original.

The plot and the storyline of this book feels like an action movie, and i Iove the author's characterization. The character development is not 100%, but I appreciate the author's efforts. Thanks for your honest review.

Thank you for the honest review. I would have been interested in reading this book, of not for the numerous issues the reviewer pointed out. Nevertheless, I may end up trying it out. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

Gosh, the mafia owning a garbage disposal company sounds like a scary combo! Hopefully, Hank can help discover who is stealing military equipment! Too bad that the writing was flat and the author overused descriptions in certain areas (like character height and weight) and lacked in other areas (like the smell of the landfill). I think your review is fair and constructive. Don’t think this is for me, but I appreciate your honest review. Thank you for sharing!

Working as a trash collector and being underpaid will make life difficult for these workers. When the CEO turnout is dead, the staff might be framed as the culprit. I love to find out how this murder is resolved. Thanks for the review.

I am certainly intrigued by the plot of the story since I'm a big of fan of mystery but as I went on reading your review, my interest wavered. A dry dialogue will surely send me to sleep. I may decide to try out this book but not soon.

The storyline sounds interesting, although the excerpt only gets as far as Raoul starting as a garbage man and we aren’t introduced to the protagonist. The author has a descriptive style with thought provoking points that are seamlessly woven into the story, which I have experienced in other books by Greenberg.

An interesting title but the critical analysis from this review got me thinking twice. But I love the honesty here though

The sample left me wanting to read more. I am interested to see where the storyline goes. The characters seem easily relatable and I already warmed to the protagonist character even after only a chapter and a bit.

A learning edge for the author though and congrats for having a publishwd work.
