Front Row Seat

An informative, entertaining read. It doesn't bog down and being basically non-fiction, tells it like it is.

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! : )

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.

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.

Having worked under the author for many years, I can tell you this book was written from reality. A very entertaining read, something I finished in two days. Much better than anticipated!

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!

Great book! The author really brought each character alive, providing an honest insight into the mindset of police professionals at different points in their careers. This should be required reading for criminal justice majors. Looking forward to the next book!

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!!
