Unnatural Deaths - a Mystery/Police Procedure Novel by Maine Lawyer Robert G. Fuller, Jr. Continues to Receive Favorable Reviews

    ATLANTIC BEACH, FL, November 05, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Since its publication in 2009, Unnatural Deaths has enjoyed a surprisingly wide circulation both inside and outside Maine. Fuller has appeared before enthusiastic audiences at numerous book clubs and libraries. Media reviews have praised the work.

Whether Fuller is discussing the bureaucracy of Federal law enforcement, the general way in which murder investigations are conducted in Maine, or providing a thumbnail sketch of life on Portland's Munjoy Hill, it is clear he has done his homework and his writing, while fiction, rings true. With his skillful use of idiom he deftly sketches his characters so that they immediately materialize in the reader's imagination, and he enlivens his narrative with a sense of humor.

Fuller's debut novel tells a story of murder and related plots by organized crime solved through diligent police work rather than flashes of insight. Yet, due to the author's considerable experience and probing mind, the narrative does not become tedious. He constructs his characters and their subcultures with such skill as to make each incident a story in itself. Particularly well described is the stark contrast between the gangsters' lack of moral sensibilities and the essentially decent ethos of rural Maine people. The novel's setting stimulates the reader to think deeply about how readily the innocent and friendly inhabitants of small-town Maine and their elected officials can be duped into unknowingly supporting the evil of seemingly wholesome, helpful outsiders. One is left with a disturbing sense of vulnerability and a warning to be cautious.

- Henry F. Ryan, M.D., Chief Medical Examiner (Retired), State of Maine.

"An excellent portrayal of diligent police work."

- Kennebec Journal

"Engaging and eminently readable...showcases the best of life in small-town-Maine."

- The Town Line
