> 24 hourGood read! I found this book entertaining and funny. I enjoyed the mystery and that it wasnt glaringly obvious like some mysteries can be. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

> 24 hourI cant say enough about this creative mystery, full of intrigue, humor and wit. I fell in love with the protagonist, Denton Rourke. Hes an unlikely hero to say the least, who has a rather hilarious ongoing battle with the inanimate objects in his life. The plot kept me guessing until the end, and on several occasions I know I laughed out loud at the unimaginable situations the characters managed to get themselves into. It is rare to find a book these days that surprises me the way this one did. An excellent start for a talented new author! I am eagerly awaiting the next Denton Rourke novel.

> 24 hourIan does a great job introducing characters, keeping up the suspense and adding humor. I read this book very quickly, as it was an easy read that was very entertaining. I started the 2nd book- The Dead Man and the CEO right away and loved that too. I cant wait to read the 3rd book....hurry up Ian!!

> 24 hourIf youre a fan of Damon Runyon, youll love Ian ORegan! Having read other reviews, I have to agree that the sooner Mr. ORegan writes another one, the better. A must buy, no matter what genre of mysteries you like.

> 24 hourI couldnt put this book down.....others would have stolen it and they should buy their own and make the author the millionaire he deserves to be. Beautifully crafted, creative, entertaining, funny, witty, intelligent....and that is just the cover. The book itself is a masterpiece.

> 24 hourRarely does a new author create characters, mystery, and hilarity with such finesse as Ian has accomplished. When my husband and I finished reading this book, we found ourselves yearning for more Denton Rourke mysteries. Although Ian has created a unique style all his own, if you like Stephanie Plum (Janet Evanovich) novels or the TV show Castle, this book should be on your to read list. Put your troubles aside, read this book, and get lost in a world of crime and comedy!

> 24 hourGreat read!! I found it to be a classic whodunit story with an EXTREMELY creative and witty delivery. Its hard-boiled-noir in parts, gruesome and bloody in other parts, and side splittingly HILARIOUS throughout. Its a true page-turner in every sense. Im looking forward to more Denton Rourke capers!

> 24 hourI am so pleased that I happened to find this book! I read a lot and sometimes, I want a book that has substance, but is light and fun and hard to put down. I found For Whom the Curtain Calls to be just such a book! Super characters...well-defined and interesting. A plot that has more twists than a plate of spaghetti. Quirky turns and laugh out loud moments....a wonderful surprise of a thrill ride. All the way through, youll wonder who-did-it? and youll just love the way it resolves itself. I wish this author had more books to read now, but for now Ill be waiting and hoping. I am sure youll love it!

> 24 hourMy two favorite things about this book: 1) what a great use of the English language! I love how the author writes with such an extensive vocabulary...I honestly feel smarter after having read this book. I also love how the author pokes fun at poor grammar/spelling in various situations throughout the book. Hilarious! 2) The main character, Denton Rourke, is a phenomenal smart aleck. Love it! I look forward to more of this characters antics.
