REVIEWS

For A KILLING WAY:
"Readers will find Sanders’s crisp prose is uncomplicated and direct." - Historical Novel Society

"Get ready to be transported back to the Golden Age of Hollywood where nothing and no one are what they appear to be. J.R. Sanders crafts a gripping, well-told tale of crooks, cowboys and moguls all vying for a piece of the American dream. I can't recommend this one highly enough." - Terrence McCauley - Award-winning author of the Aaron Mackey Westerns, Jeremiah Halstead Series and Ralph Compton Western Series

For BRING THE NIGHT:

"Do you ever wish someone would uncover an unknown Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett—a genuine, hard-boiled novel with gumshoes and molls that has you checking the rounds in your roscoe and flipping pages like a flivver? Well, meet J.R. Sanders's Bring The Night starring Nate Ross, a PI with a rhythm and poetry all his own, navigating the City of Angels with clipped wings." - Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire Series

"Sanders keeps his foot on the gas as Ross unravels a citywide conspiracy...with plenty of double-crossing and noirish turns of phrase along the way. Ace Atkins fans should give this series a look." - Publishers Weekly

"With a knack for clever turns of phrase and an ability to drop the reader smack-dab in the middle of 1939 Los Angeles, fans of J R Sanders' Nate Ross are in for another time traveling treat with "Bring the Night" that will keep them guessing all the way through this hard-boiled private eye labyrinth. - Martin Turnbull, author of Hollywood's Garden of Allah novels

"'Bring the Night' is a fun read for any and all dedicated mystery buffs and showcases author J. R. Sanders' genuine flair for originality, his complete mastery of the genre, and effective knack for the kind of narrative driven storytelling that keeps the reader's rapt and compulsive page-turning attention from cover to cover." - Midwest Book Review

For DEAD-BANG FALL:
"J.R. Sanders' novel is a solid addition to L.A.'s noir literary canon. More Nate Ross, please." - Joan Renner, true crime historian, t.v. commentator, and author of Of Mobsters and Movie Stars: The Bloody "Golden Age" of Hollywood

It’s a realistic bad guys vs. the good guy crime novel with intrigue and a labyrinth of clues and hints trying to connect the dots....A page-turner from start to finish. - Mystery Review Crew

If you’re a fan of gats and gams, dames and dirty cops, mobsters and mayhem, this is the book for you. - KRL News & Reviews

For STARDUST TRAIL
"The plot has more twists and turns than a snorty bronc, taking you through the world of low-budget Westerns and lowlife hoods, down mean streets and into rugged canyons. It's a wild ride, but a fun one all the way." - Western Way Magazine

Pick up Stardust Trail, get comfy in your favorite spot with your favorite beverage, tune out distractions—unless you’ve got music by Gene Autry or Dave Stamey handy—and settle in for an enjoyable ride along the Stardust Trail. - Sixgun Justice

For SOME GAVE ALL
"The names here may not be as familiar or catchy as Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok or Bat Masterson, among the biggest names in Western mythology. But the true grit displayed by the protagonists in Some Gave All should provide enough real-life drama to interest any aficionado and prove that truth played straight can hold up alongside any fiction." - Wild West Magazine
