Third in the Fred Carver series, Kiss is the best story so far.

While I wouldn't call detective Fred Carver lovable, he certainly earns my respect. Living in the fictional ocean-side town of Del Moray, Florida. the former Orlando police officer took a bullet to the knee three years ago and now is on a disability retirement eking out a living on private investigations.

In this story, Fred Carver is asked to quietly investigate Sunhaven Retirement Home because of the recent death of Sam Cusanelli who happens to be the favorite uncle of Lieutenant Alfonso Desoto. Outside of Desoto's Orlando jurisdiction, and lacking anything more that a suspicious hunch, Carver takes the case and quickly runs into opposition. This story is launched full force with several interesting twists and turns.

It really held my interest and I recommend it.

Kiss John Lutz 9780948353949 Books Reviews

I inadvertently got introduced to Lutz's Fred Carver stories. I'm hooked. The books are fast paced. They make you think and ponder right along with Fred as pieces of the puzzle come into focus. You'll find yourself holding your breath in suspense many times as you ride shotgun with Carver throughout the book.

"The Kiss" is my third 'Carver' novel and it is my favorite. I read the last two paragraphs three times and wanted to cry each time. The ending was tragicly beautiful.
Simple and orthodox, but very nice hard-boiled detective story. The author is very good in writing; for example, he makes me feel the unbearable heat of Florida and smell the nasty odor of McGregor, an unscrupulous cop. And the "kiss of farewell" in the ending is sad and touching. I'd like to read more Fred Carver stories.
For my money John Lutz ranks high among the crop of Florida mystery writers. He does not have the high profile of the likes of Carl Hiaasen, James Hall, Edna Buchanan, Dave Barry, Elmore Leonard, Randy Wayne White, etc., but he captures the essence of Florida in wonderfully spare novels.
Consider this word picture of the Central Florida heat "On his left, the ocean rolled blue-green and too sluggish for whitecaps, as if it felt the burden of the heat and was lulled to lethergy." Anyone who spent time in Central Florida between May and October has experienced that feeling.
"Kiss" is a Fred Carver, PI entry. Carver, retired due to disability from the Orlando PD (shot in kneecap and needs a cane), now resides along the mid Florida East Coast. While his supporting cast is excellent, he prefers to work alone and maintain self reliance.
The plot is believable, the crime feasable, the crooks a fine mixture of brains, brawn and corrupted innocents. Throw in a couple of red herrings, dogged detective work, menace from a psycho, all under the hot Florida sun and you are rewarded with an enjoyable read.
A great read, love John Lutz...
it is a good book, well wrote and of a style i like to read over and over again, yes
This is the third book I've read by the author and a great improvement from the first two Fred Carver books. It held my interest to the end, the cliches present in the first two books are almost all gone and I found the book enjoyable. The twist towards the end was unexpected but I felt that it was introduced clumsily and the ending was a little flat. The suspense at the end left me asking for description and the tidy up was a little too fast and convenient.
John Lutz gives us the third book in the third book in the Fred Carver series, KISS, a SHAMUS AWARD winner in the late 80's. Ok, I am late in my reading this series. Fred Carver, retired cop, walks with a cane and pain from a gunshot to the kneed that ended his cop career. This series based in Florida is excellent and this book the best so far. Carver is asked by his best friend, a cop, to investigate a retirement home for anything irregular, Carver finds more than anyone could bargain for. Good story. RECOMMENDED. Read series in order.
