Education: Amherst College
The Brady Coyne series from William G. Tapply was probably one of the first mystery series that I started to read on a regularly. Brady Coyne was a Boston lawyer with some rich clients who usually had problems that both the lawyer and detective Brady Coyne had to get them out of somehow, There was always a little dash of humor and a really good story line and of course a very likeable protagonist! I always liked it when at som point in the book Brady would contact his friend Doc Adams, the main character in Rick Boyer’s very fine series! Tapply and Boyer were real life fishing buddies!
In his later years William G. Tapply created another series featuring bait shop owner Stoney Calhoun a man with a mysterious past as some kind of special agent. Stoney was a great character and the books were all very good.
While I have read the majority of Tapply’s books i still have a few to read two or three are on my TBR Pile and this year may be the year they get read!!
