Looking for a new thriller? Reviewers speak highly of Melton’s Mettle. Reedsy editor Jo Lane calls Melton’s Mettle an “entertaining and well-constructed thriller,” that is “very gripping and the twist at the end is outstanding.” Kirkus Reviews says: A private eye conquers societal expectations using resolve and ingenuity in this involving, moving mystery. This thriller tells a tale of perseverance thanks to its besieged protagonist. Hubbartt has created a vivid, flawed protagonist in Daniel [Melton]. Booklife Prize critic’s report says “This solidly rendered mystery contains a straightforward plot that's engaging and easy to follow. Hubbartt has a knack for creating a sense of intrigue, while maintaining even pacing and approachable characters.”
