It's just another ho-ho-hum defense lawyers' Christmas party...until one of them is murdered.

Semifinalist Best Indie Books of 2012, The Kindle Book Reviews
BookRooster Reviewers' Pick 2013

"Great humor. Great dialogue."
~New York Times best-selling author Dorien Kelly, co-author with Janet Evanovich "Love in a Nutshell" and "The Husband List"

"This book immediately drew me in. The wonderfully descriptive setting, the quick pace and story that promises to deliver a delicious thrill. Miss Collins has a way of weaving mystery, intrigue, romance and a touch of NOIR that is not often found much less executed this well."
~Michael Benning

******************Book Blurb******************

Just as washed-up criminal defense attorney, life-long Deadhead (nickname “The Zen Man”), and current PI Rick Levine decides to get relicensed as a lawyer, he’s charged with killing one and ends up in the slammer with a half-mil bail.

Released on bond, Rick and his girlfriend Laura have 30 days to find the real killer. In the course of their investigations, they dig for dirt among Denver’s shady legal backrooms to its tony corporate centers. Dodging bullets, a kidnapping, trumped-up charges and the FBI's unwanted intervention, Rick and Laura continue tracking key suspects who have motive...eventually learning that true redemption begins at home.

A great story that has been exceptionally well written. Once I started reading this novel I had difficulty putting it down. I will be looking out for more PI novels by Colleen Collins. This book deserves every star in my five-star rating.

5,0 su 5 stelle If you love Romance, Suspense & Snappy Dialogue get Zen Man!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 21 dicembre 2012

I've had ZEN MAN in my iPad since December, 2011, according to Amazon's great tracking, and I just read it on December 19, 2012. I work full time and go to college full time, so most (okay, all) of my reading has been the university professors' required reads. ZEN MAN is a wonderful book to start my two week vacation between semesters. Zen Man is exactly what I needed to get my head out of 600 year old literature and into a modern romance and suspense staring two people, Rick and Laura, who are fine looking and fun to be around. Rick and Laura are so attracted to each other, and you know they want each other and the way they talk to each other, fast, back and forth, one right after the next, incredible dialogue. Rick is going to be on trial for murder, unless Rick and Laura can find the real killer, because Rick didn't do it. Do they find the killer in time? Does he go on trial and end up heading to jail hoping Laura will be all in for weekly conjugal visits? Or will they work together, get the killer and do it in 30 days? I loved Zen Man. I love that I was able to laugh, because I needed a book that made me laugh, and I love that it had romance, because I'm a romance reader above all else, and I felt that the suspense kept me going throughout the book. Zen Man was a perfect book for me to start my two week fiction read between semesters. On to the next book...

Former criminal defense attorney turned PI Rick Levine, aka "The Zen Man," has been clean and sober for five years. After losing his attorney's license six years ago for his substance abuse, he's now on the right path to rebuilding his life and getting relicensed so he can practice law again. Rick and girlfriend Laura purchased a Bed & Breakfast lodge in Denver, and was hosting an annual retreat for Colorado's Criminal Defense Association. In attendance for the criminal defense attorney conference were 55 attorneys including Rick's ex-wife Deborah, aka "Wicked as in Wicked Wench of the West," and former law partner, Sam Wexler, aka "Roof Top." During a party on the first night of the retreat, Deborah was drunk and started a fight with Rick, causing a scene in front of everyone. A few hours later, Laura finds Deborah's nude body lying dead in the pool outside the lodge, she had been fatally stabbed in the heart. Rick is taken into custody as the prime suspect and charged with the first degree murder of his ex-wife. With Sam as his attorney, Laura posts bail and Rick has thirty days to investigate his case and find the real killer. Is this a crime of passion case? Has Rick been framed on trumped up charges? Will Rick and Laura solve the case, or will he become a prisoner in Colorado's criminal justice system?

The Zen Man is a classic whodunit story with a sarcastic and humorous edgy side mixed with some light romance that will keep the reader guessing as they turn the pages. Set in Denver, Colorado, the story is told in the first person narrative by our protagonist, Rick, whose comedic personality shines through as he tells his story and keeps the reader in stitches. Jam packed with enough intrigue, suspense, twist and turns, and sprinkling of clues, this entertaining mystery engages the reader to come along with Rick and Laura on their investigation to solve the murder case.

The author creates a cast of characters in the story that are realistic, complex and have a variety of personalities that make the story that much more entertaining and compelling. Who wouldn't pull for Rick and Laura? They are a down-to-earth, engaging and lovable couple willing to go the distance to prove Rick's innocence. With supporting characters such as: criminal defense attorney Sam Wexler; Mavis the chair loving Rottweiler; stoned handymen Garrett and Ziggy; a Santa Hitman; some unscrupulous attorneys; mafioso and FBI investigators, the reader better strap themselves in for one heck of a fast paced mystery thrill ride.

As a fan of murder mystery suspense thrillers, The Zen Man was an entertaining whodunit that kept me entertained. From Rick's comedic personality, to the zen quotes and Deadhead references, to the intriguing clues and twists and turns, to the lighthearted romance, this story was simply a fun read!

The Zen Man is a fun, fast paced murder mystery novel that has all the ingredients to satisfy true murder mystery suspense fans. With an intriguing ending, the reader is left wondering if this is the first in a series that we will see Rick and Laura involved in new investigative adventures.

3,0 su 5 stelle Fun mystery with lots of lawyers...
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 8 giugno 2014

Anyone who can put "fun" and "lawyers" in the same title has to be a good reviewer, right?

This book is a contemporary mystery about an ex-attorney who is now a private investigator in Denver. His past as a drugged up party guy comes back to haunt him when his ex-wife is murdered at his place. He's been framed for the murder and must find the real killer before his own trial. His girlfriend helps him, along with some hilarious employees.

The writing is clever and fast-paced, with plenty of humor. The language sounds genuine, including the cursing (heads up), and many references to drugs and alcohol; which went with the story but were not so enjoyable. There are lots of questionable actions by the 'good' guys, too, including breaking and entering, illegal possession of a handgun, theft, and more. If these were the good guys, I'd hate to meet the bad ones. The book certainly does nothing to improve the reputation of criminal defense attorneys.

I was a little irritated at some of the condescending attitudes voiced by the male protagonist, including those against law enforcement and administrative types, but I assume that sounds like a typical lawyer. This main character was definitely flawed. He was also a deadhead, and the silly Jerry Garcia quotes on the chapter pages didn't help.

The mystery itself was decent, although I could have guessed at the solution early. The investigative work was interesting, other than the aforementioned questionable tactics.

Altogether, a quick read and enjoyable story with some annoyances.
