Book 1 – Lowie Mortem | Chronicles of a Dead Detective
“Lowie has all the traits of a good detective; tough, persistent, intuitive and attentive to details, albeit that he has his own flaws as well. The vampire Angelique adds a medieval fantasy flair to the noir-esque story, making Lowie Mortem a very consuming read for me. At its heart, this novel is a tribute to the brave men and women of police service; a commendable work from J. Rene Munz.“

Book 2 – Lowie Mortem Time Paradox
“Fast-paced, ultra-violent, and wildly entertaining, Lowie Mortem: Time Paradox is an adrenaline-pumping ride into the unknown that you just don’t want to get off. The action scenes feel like something out of anime, painted by visceral imagery of words that leave nothing to the imagination. I felt the non-linear structure of the narrative made the story all the more immersive.
