The Dead Man (Jack Davis Thrillers Book 2) eBook Joel Goldman Reviews
I enjoyed this book as much as the first one I read about Jack Davis. Joel Goldman keeps the pace fast and the story interesting. I have some trouble with his character's disability being believable in some of the circumstances he gets himself into but it does add to the mystery. I find that I care about him and that makes the story more memorable. This one has so many twists and characters that I was not able to guess who done it until it was revealed. I read a lot of mysteries and it takes a clever twist to keep me guessing. I will continue to read about Jack Davis and thank Joel Goldman for his entertaining series.
Review of The Dead man by Joel Goldman
A man and his wife are stabbed in their bed and cut to pieces. Their daughter hears the murderer coming down the hall towards her room and goes out the window, dropping down to the ground and luckily just twisting her ankle and hides in the bushes. By the time the sheriff shows up the girl Maggie Brennan and her uncle are out front covered in blood.
Jack Davis, who has been forced to retire from the FBI due to a shaking disorder is about to get evicted from the house he’s renting by his new land lord. He has a lease but the original landlord is the mother of the girl who actually inherited the house and wants him out. They work it out and he’ll pay the rent to her and she’ll live in the house also. Jack has accepted a job as head of security for Milo Harper a billionaire who own Harper Institute of the Mind which studies the brain. One of their projects is the study of dreams and two of their volunteers have died , one of alleged suicide and the other supposedly falling off the third floor of a parking garage. One of the researchers who is an expert on memory an PTSD turns out to be Maggie Brennan who now is a PHD who has dreams about that horrible night when her parents were killed.
The story goes on with four people dead by seemly self induced causes. The story moves on fairly slowly and I had trouble sticking with it. Too many words and unnecessary paragraphs. I thought it would never end. I’ve read other Joel Goldman’s books and really enjoyed them. This one gets three stars from me this time.

Didnt get to the first chapter before putting it down and haven't picked it up since don't but you'll be sorry you did!
It was a pleasure to read a book that has been edited and proof-read enough that I wasn't sidetracked by errors throughout the book. It left me with a free mind to enjoy the story as it unwinds, try to out-guess the investigators about who and why, and get caught up in getting to know the characters well enough to feel they are people I've met.
Like most mystery fans, part of the fun is trying to anticipate 'whodunit'. The author did a fine job of dropping clues and hints, but not so many that I was absolutely sure until the reveal. Oh yes - I suspected who it was, and early on like other reviewers claim. But I was often led off the track as other facts and evidence were revealed. Just enough for me to consider other possible culprits as the story developed, and the ending was well scripted.
At times, I was anxious for less details about the settings and characters, so the story would move on to the main story line. Some characters were fully introduced, far more than their later role in the story warranted. And for all the details, some things were not explained well. For example, in his review on one of the cases, he noted that the victim was shot in the left temple, but it was not likely it was suicide, since the victim was right handed. How Jack knew that Delaney was right handed was not clear at all. If it was part of the police report, then there would have been less likelihood that they would have accepted the death as suicide. Although there were so many things about the 'suicide' that made it more probably a murder, that made this part not believable.
However, overall, this was a great mystery, well thought out and planned, and well written, edited and proofed. I will enjoy more from author Joel Goldman.
A few weeks ago, author Joel Goldman offered the edition of THE DEAD MAN for free and I grabbed a copy, hoping for a good mystery. I didn't let the "thriller" tag deter me (I often avoid thrillers) and read through the grisly prologue with growing interest.
Here's the story overview from another book page (the page is filled with hype, and not much about the actual story) "Milo Harper wants former FBI agent Jack Davis' help. People in Harper's study of the human brain are starting to die--and dying exactly in the very ways they have dreamed...Harper wants Jack to get to the truth and counter lawsuits aimed at the foundation. But when Jack investigates, the truth explodes a serial killer is lurking inside one of the most advanced research facilities in the world. For Jack, the case will shatter illusions, raise ghosts, and take him onto both sides of the law--and into the path of a murderer's terrifying rage..."
This is the second of the Jack Davis Thrillers, but I wasn't too lost on Jack's life without having read the first. Goldman put in backstory when his protagonist was triggered to memories. At first, when this happened during a fairly active scene, it seemed intrusive, but I got used to the style.
All the characters were well-drawn and believable; the "thriller" aspects (blood, gore, graphic violence) wasn't too much to bear, and the story resolutions were effective. That's resolutions--plural--because protagonist Jack Davis had relationship issues to deal with, as well as his odd health condition, and his forced retirement from the FBI.
A lot going on, here. Most was handled well, although the ventures into the points of view of other characters didn't seem necessary, and a few scenes really gave away too much. But then, I had determined the perp early on, and read along, learning more about Jack and wondering when he would pickup on the clues.
In all, since it had few editing and formatting glitches, THE DEAD MAN was a satisfactory read from a competent writer.
