Mason Adler Mystery

Review - Murder at the Oasis by David S. Pederson

My rating:

Mason's friend Walter talks him into taking a brief vacation to Palm Springs, in part with the promise of a cheap room at a posh resort frequented by Hollywood stars thanks to a friend of Walter's who works there. However, it turns out the friend lost his job and now owns a small motel. What's more, the rest of the guests at the Oasis Inn turn out to be people Mason and Walter would rather avoid, but when one of them, and then another, turns up dead, Mason forgets he's supposed to be on vacation.

It doesn't take long for Mason to uncover several people with motive and opportunity, but which one really killed the young woman?

Review - Murder on Monte Vista by David S. Pederson

My rating:

Mason Adler is a successful private detective in Phoenix. He often outsmarts the police to get to the bottom of suspicious deaths in the city. On a Saturday night during an unseasonably hot spring, Mason attends a birthday party thrown for him by his old schoolmate Walter. Walter's rather unusual birthday “gift” is for Mason to end the night with a wannabe actor who makes ends meet by turning tricks.
