Resurrection Blues: An Evan Buckley Crime Thriller (Evan Buckley Thrillers Book 5) Kindle Edition
They told him she was dead. Now he's not so sure.
When Levi Stone slaps a photograph of his wife Lauren in another man’s arms on PI Evan Buckley’s desk, Evan shows him the door – he doesn’t do sleazy gutter work anymore. Then Levi drops a bombshell that changes Evan’s mind, and fast. Lauren died in a car crash five years ago.
It’s not only the uncanny and frightening similarities to the unsolved disappearance of his own wife, Sarah. As Evan digs deeper into Lauren’s shadowy past, the dark secrets he unearths force Levi to face the bitter truth: he never knew his wife at all, or the mystery that surrounds her mother’s death and the disappearance of her father.
Nor is Evan alone in searching for Lauren. A man from the past she never knew, evil incarnate, sends his dogs to hunt her down, to exact his rightful revenge. It’s payback time and Evan’s caught in the middle of a lethal vendetta.
But who is the hunter and who is the hunted?

- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2024Evan's stories just keep on getting better! This time he's hired to work on a case of a spouse's disappearance and which is very similar to that of his wife. He'll be involved in world where everything is not as it seems to be and everyone is holding back part of the truth, including the person who hired him. He's also getting nearer to the answers he searches regarding his own wife's case.
Another easy to read and fast-paced story, with a special sense of humor even when the main character is under difficult situations.
I thank Mr. Harper for the free copy of this book.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2018A woman thought dead for years suddenly appears in a couple of photos sent to her husband. The husband hires Evan to search for her or disprove the photos. Evan is torn because of the similarities with his own search for Sarah. But he decides to take on the case and begins stepping on toes and being chased by thugs which keeps the story moving along. Adamson wakes from his coma and begins messing with Evan's mind about Sarah. Only at the very end do we find out who dunit and how. It is a very well thought out and interesting read.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020Resurrection Blues's unique storyline made it an absolute page-turner.

The storyline is well thought out, fast paced with interesting characters, what’s not to love about this book??? It is so so good! I think this series gets better and better with every book! Looking forward to Evan’s next client...
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2024Too long. Convoluted and I was easily distracted trying to figure out who is who and what part of the master plan was involved
Evan didn’t even get the “ girl”
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2018This Evan Buckley gets better with each novel. Levi asks Evan to try to find his missing wife. It seems others are also looking for Levi's wife. A action adventure where Levi get beaten by these criminals trying to get information out of him that he does not know. There are twists and turns in this novel that will keep you interested until the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best in Series to Date
This is book 5 in the Evan Buckley series. This is the best one yet. Evan is on the case once again and as usual there are undesirable thugs after his blood. This case is quite a convoluted one and it takes some twists and turns to get to the conclusions. His life is threatened along with that of his clients and the people that are associated with the case. Perhaps if they had been honest from the start then things might have gone better for them and Evan. As always Kate Gillory and her sidekick Ryder are hovering in the background, with the sparks continuing to fly between Kate and Evan, and Evan's case of his missing wife is still unsolved but with a few more pieces of the jigsaw being revealed to tease the reader. Brilliant!
I received an ARC of this book for and I voluntarily leave an honest review. I have also purchased the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
If you've never read the Evan Buckley series I would highly recommend you do so. This particular book was so good it was almost impossible to put down. At one point I was laughing so hard. It's really nice to have a book with lots of action, intrigue, suspense and mystery and then add humor to it. I gave this book 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Would you want to be find?!
A husband receives a photo of his “late” wife very much alive. So he hires Evan Buckley to discover what is the real story behind it. Evan takes It very personal, as a reminder of his own story. One of the great strengths of this novel is its commitment to atmosphere, which is presented with vivid description and a chilling sense of locations, and settings which really give you chills especially in the cemetery scenes.
This is a great solid mystery novel that is recommended for readers seeking new thrills and a mystery that genuinely doesn’t let up until the final page.
