“As One Foot in the Grave unfolds its crime plot, the action takes on a brisk pace, making this book a great beach-vacation read. You don’t have to be a union member to enjoy the ride, but activists will get a special kick from Lenny Moss and his stalwart co-workers.”
“Timely! No, not Covid-19, this plot’s setting is the Zika epidemic circa 2015-16. The parallels are eerily similar – understaffed medical facilities, lack of adequate PPEs, and differing focuses of hospital administrators and medical staff. Once again Timothy Sheard effectively weaves the primary detective narrative around several intriguing subplots. The physical and emotional hazards of pregnancy during a virus epidemic and the typical management/under-staff tribulations are entwined, resulting the 8th spellbinding Lenny Moss mystery.”
