Potter’s Field finds bouncer/amateur private investigator Ash McKenna coming full circle, back home in New York where the series started after wild year away that included some seriously cloak-and-dagger action in penultimate series entry The Woman From Prague. Once again, McKenna does what he does best—digs deep to help a friend in need, despite the danger to himself, both physical and mental. With Potter’s Field, author Rob Hart brings the Ash McKenna series to a fitting, satisfying end. Satisfying in that the reader is treated to a thrilling, compelling read, though readers would surely be willing to keep reading the further adventures if McKenna had Hart not spread his wings and branched out in a new direction with the acclaimed novel The Warehouse, as well as the hotly anticipated follow-up, The Paradox Hotel.

Great thrilling novel which kept me turning the pages, would highly recommend to others. Brilliant writing, plot and characters.

Ash McKenna's a modern prototype of a Chandleresque P.I. which works for me as I am a fan. He's a mixture of knight -in-tarnished armor, unrepentant tough guy and someone wanting to change his priorities and his life. Returning to NYC, specifically Staten Island, after sojourns in Georgia, Portland, and Prague, he reconnects with his high school friends, one who hired him to find someone. I purchased the first three books in the series after getting underway with this one. I want to know more about Ash and how he came to be.

This series just keeps getting better and better and better! It's fun, crazy, heart-breaking at times and the thriller aspect is on point! The characters are to die for and you'll want to be best friend with pretty much all of them. Yes, I said ALL of them. :)
I can't recommend this entire series enough!

At 12% into this book I am just waiting for something to just grip me and not let me go. This book is good but I wouldn't really call it gripping. I do like Ash, I am really interested to go back and read the other books to see what made him, him. I don't want to put too much into this review as I feel like I would giveaway some spoilers. But there are a few twists in there that you wouldn't expect. He starts a list of things he needs to accomplish at the start of the book. I am a lover a lists... It seems he is as good at accomplishing the items on the list as I am. If you read the book you'll see how good I am at accomplishing things on my list. :) I feel it wasn't until about 70% through this book that I was really drawn into this book that it really had me and I had gotten through it a bit quicker. That's when everything started to really get shocking and into the thick of things. I loved the writing all around, I loved the characters and the diversity. But based off of how slow it was at first and through a large portion of the book for me it makes it really hard for me to rate the book. I do recommend reading the book as I stated before I really want to read some of Ash's earlier adventures see what made him into the man. He is because from what I can tell in this book, he has gone down a difficult journey and really came out a wonderful man.

Hart’s Ash McKenna is a bare knuckles brawler who is trapped in purgatory between the angels and the devils. He’s kind of like to become Sam Spade, but somehow he keeps getting roped in to a world of drug addicts, dealer territory disputes, and despair. In this fifth book in the series, he returns to New York and even to Staten Island. After Portland and Prague, he is still rootless and disconnected at home. This story is action packed from the getgo and, aside from a few reminisces, the action never stops.
