rwbrock 's review for:
The Gatekeeper
by James Byrne
4.25/5 stars
I'll be perfectly honest this is not my usual kind of book. While I do enjoy mysteries and thrillers, I don't normally go for male protagonists (nothing against men in general, I promise). That said, I really enjoyed this series starter about a "retired" mysterious ex-mercenary and amateur musician who is pulled into an embezzlement scheme and an armed coup (among other things) when he winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Dez is a likable character...love his humor, his easy-going charm, his colloquial repartee. He's smart, experienced, and pretty darn invincible. And while at times, I did roll my eyes and think "Is there nothing this guy can't do or get himself out of?", I just ran with it and enjoyed the ride.
Looking forward to more Dez and his "retirement" adventures.
