Wow, what an outstanding book! “Front Row Seat” is a perfect title…I felt like I was sitting in the cruiser right there between Donna and Gerald. They always say there’s no one better to describe a scenario than someone who’s actually been there…the author did an outstanding job of detailing the various events he took us through…again, I felt like I was in the room observing as each of the stories unfolded. Probably the aspect I enjoyed most was knowing this wasn’t a fiction novel about the next Dick Tracy, but a true-life depiction of what it’s like to be in the field with characters based on real cops, and real events. I hope Donna has a long and successful career, and I hope Sgt Reilly enjoys his retired life. Hurry up with book 2! : ) ~

Great book. Read the entire book in one evening. I grew up in North Hayward (East Hartford) in the 60s-70s and still have family there today. I enjoyed all the local references. The book was well written. I felt that I was there – in the middle – of every call. ~

This book is a great read for anyone interested in reading about day-to-day police patrol work. The author, who obviously knows his subject, adds just the right amount of action and jargon to make it realistic. I couldn’t put it down! ~

Unique view of police work in a difficult less than supportive environment where the officer needs to shuffle competing priorities -part social work part law enforcement. ~

This is a great read, a realistic account of what day to day police work is really like from different perspectives, from an author with real life experience!! ~

Author Mark Kelly combined just the right amount humor for someone to stop and re-read the last sentence or two for a good chuckle. ~
