Mr. Tubbs' Civil War discusses the war through the letters received by a Charles Tubbs by his friends. Mr Tubbs never went to battle, but learned about the great battles of that war through the letters he received. The letters are ungrammatical, often crudely written. But they give you a great perspective on the civil war. I enjoyed it

This is a good and entertaining story set in Wilmington, Delaware.

This murder mystery reminded me somewhat of movies of the same done in the 1940's. It had that kind of snappy air in dialogue and attitude.

A retired detective comes back to town in a deal to let him shake off a false accusation. He is supposed to work one day and then leave his troubles behind him. Wouldn't you know it, that one day gets him embroiled in a murder mystery unusual to sleepy Wilmington, Delaware (this was written pre-Capano) when all he really wants is to forget his past troubles and embrace the quiet life.

This was a fun book, well written and entertaining. Apparantly Mr. Brandt has not again picked up the pen, which is a shame. He ought to give story writing another try.

The writing is sparse and taught. The bombshell Honey Golden is an inventive creation. The narrator is well-drawn, flawed, yet ultimately triumphant. A great read. I eagerly anticipate future offerings from Mr. Brandt
