Deadly Heirs is the first novel published by Mike Ricksecker, and in my opinion is an excellent offering in the mystery genre. He does a great job with character development, and gives you an in-depth glimpse into the hardships and adventures of the characters. The intricately woven plot thickens and builds in each chapter, drawing you into the story as it energetically pushes towards the climax. Knowing that the author resides in New England gave the book authenticity to it's premise and setting. I enjoyed this novel, and look forward to seeing how this author develops his style.
