I give The Front Range Butcher: A Jarvis Mann Private Detective HardBoiled Mystery Novel (Jarvis Mann Detective Book 7) by R. Weir, 5 stars.
Jarvis Mann is back again, but this time he is after a serial killer. This killer started his destruction over twenty years ago and now is suddenly at it again. Not involved with the original investigation, Jarvis is now brought in to see if he can help. He feels like he must do something before this vicious killer strikes again. But why is he back? And is he back or is it someone new? The impossible could now be possible and this could get Jarvis into more trouble than he has ever been, and that’s saying a lot. Not to mention the other things happening to Jarvis that seem too much of a coincidence. Can he stop him? What price will Jarvis pay?
I have been a fan of this author since I first started reading him. This is another hit, maybe even better than the rest. The style of writing and and the quirkiness of Mann are the same, but this story is completely unlike the previous ones. I loved this book, it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, trying to figure out the different things happening. The writing was once again magnificent and reading about Jarvis had his friends and family once again felt like coming home. I could not wait to read another Jarvis Mann book and was pleasantly surprised at yet again how good this was. I hope this series goes on for a long time and cannot wait for the next one.
I highly recommend this book to fans of private investigators who are a little different and will do anything he can to protect his city and his people. Reading the previous books in the series first is not needed, but I highly recommend it.
The Front Range Butcher (Jarvis Mann Detective #6) by R. Weir was spine thrilling.
My first read my this author and my first time reading a book in the Jarvis Mann Detective series. Okay so I skipped a few, but hey, I’m good like that. But in all seriousness, this book was written so well that I didn’t fell like I was missing anything. Sure there were a few things that I didn’t quite get (inside jokes and what not from past characters.), but I didn’t mind that, it made me love this book even more, and believe me, I will be going back and reading the other books.
Right out of the gate I was captured, the flow was dark, the tone was edgy and thrilling. I love these types of books (and TV shows), the twist and turns and of course the spine chilling danger. If the cover doesn’t get your gut in knots then you my friend are twisted. Because as this books weaves it’s way through not only one, but three different, yet almost connected cases, you are taken into the dark places, and thats where nightmares are made.
And our MC, Jarvis, I fell for him fast then light speed. Snarky, witty and a little old school, he had me in giggles at the most inappropriate times. I wish I can tell you about character development, but at this point in the series, he’s pretty much there. This is where I need to go back and follow his journey, to see what it took to get him to this point.
Overall I was deeply impressed and hooked on this book, and now series. So please take my super high recommendation that you will get lost in the darkness, only to be pulled back into the light at the very last moment.
Happy Reading
-E.A. Walsh

The Front Range Butcher is book six (and the seventh instalment) in the Jarvis Mann Detective series, by R. Weir. This is a fantastic detective story, with lots of mystery, suspense, danger, a serial killer investigation, intrigue, tension, and action.
We have met Jarvis Mann in the previous books- and I just love this character and the series as a whole, so much. This book brings Jarvis his most dangerous and testing case yet. When a serial killer is back in action after a couple of decades, Jarvis is tasked with the investigation which will test him like never before, bringing lots of danger, as well as pitting him against a cold and calculating killer. In a race against time before the killer can strike again, with secrets, and hidden agendas- will Jarvis be able to bring closure to the case, once and for all?

I can’t wait to read the next book “Mann in the Crossfire”!
Brilliant!
Thank you, Mr. Weir!
I don’t think it’s much of a secret that I have a crush on Jarvis Mann. He has a sarcastic tone, is witty and engaging (ok, fine – maybe at inappropriate times) and is timing and crime solving ability goes above and beyond what the average PI could do. It’s cool to watch him become more confident in his skills and abilities and to be able to settle down a bit and not be such a “player”.
I started reading THE FRONT RANGE BUTCHER as the “Golden State Killer” was finally caught and I have been following along to see if his killing streak truly did stop when “we” think it did. So as I was reading THE FRONT RANGE BUTCHER, I was thinking – wow, wow, wow. Ok, I see where this is going – whoops, I am wrong. I wonder…
As with all of the Jarvis Mann stories, this one moves quickly and with several plot points that are easily defined. Even though they are slightly entwined, each could be dis-entangled and created as its own story. We also get to visit with characters we’ve met in previous books. I think if you haven’t previously read this author, you will still be able to enjoy it as everyone is very well explained.
I absolutely recommend this book, this series and this author.
The Front Range Butcher: A Jarvis Mann Private Detective Hardboiled Mystery Novel (Jarvis Mann Detective Book 7) by R. Weir is the seventh book in his Jarvis Mann series. I have read all of the this author’s books and they keep getting better and better with each one. I highly suggest reading all of the books in this series, it will help you get to know Jarvis and enrich your enjoyment of this series. I love how this author can pull me into his story with ease and keep me engaged until the end. I love his Jarvis Mann character as he kind of reminds me of one of the old time detectives from the 60s. He is a little rough around the edges but he is connectable. In this book Jarvis is hired to find a serial killer. The killings started twenty-two years ago and then just stopped but now he is back. Once again Jarvis finds himself in the middle of life threatening danger as he tries to bring this serial killer to justice. There is one man who has the answers Jarvis is looking for, will he find more then he was expecting? This story is full of action and twists and turns that left me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what will happen next. I highly recommend this book. Find out what Jarvis has gotten himself into this time or if this case will prove to much for him.
The Front Range Butcher ( Jarvis Mann Detective) by R.Weir
Rated 5 stars
Another amazing book by R Weir! The storytelling was perfect and it really kept me on my toes. The characters are crazy, interesting and plentiful as always. I was taken away on this journey with Jarvis almost from the beginning. His sleuthing mind draws me in and I want him to figure this out as much as he does.
Jarvis is a fire starter! He just keeps running around planting little fires to try to get people to spill their info to him. His time spent with Simon is the best! I enjoyed seeing them challenge each other. All of his relationships are interesting. It seems not many really like him..they only tolerate him. Though there are a few that do like him although begrudgingly. He does have a knack for riling people up with his smarty comments.
The most common sentence when Jarvis shows up somewhere “what the hell do YOU want!” He is so loved! 🙂
In this book there were many references ( I assume) from previous books. Some of them were distracting to me. I wonder now if one of them is setting up for the next book. Anyway that was really my only issue with this book. I wanted to stick with the main story not be distracted with the characters/references from previous books.
I almost wish this was on audio. I think it would be great to listen to. With all of the ups and downs and back and forths. The multitude of characters. It would be good!

5 stars
Yes!! My favourite PI is back!! I absolutely love Jarvis Mann and always get really excited when I see a new release from R Weir! His stories are always so exciting to read and always unpredictable. This is the only series that I love that is not my usual genre but I do love them! I just love how Jarvis can’t help himself but get involved in everything and I think this one might be my favourite so far! It was a gripping read that had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. There was just so much going on that I could not predict it at all. I really couldn’t put it down at all. It’s safe to say that R Weir has definitely outdone himself on this novel!
As always I cannot wait for more – and I really do hope there is more from my guilty pleasure that is Jarvis Mann!! If you are fan of R Weir and his fantastic Jarvis Mann series then you will not be disappointed at all with his latest release!!
The Front Range Butcher: A Jarvis Mann Private Detective HardBoiled Mystery Novel
By: R Weir
5 out of 5 stars
The story The Front Range Butcher: A Jarvis Mann Private Detective HardBoiled Mystery Novel by R Weir is a thrilling suspense book that I absolutely loved reading. I love the series and the character of Jarvis Mann. He is a no-nonsense PI who seeks justice for those who have been wronged and he goes all out to find the truth. He would be the person I would go to if I needed help. This story finds Jarvis hired to investigate a series of murders that happened over 20 years ago and now seem to have started up again. The murders are horrific. No arrest was ever made. His investigation leads him to a man that he comes to believe holds answers to these crimes. This man is cold, calculating, and manipulative. Now he must race against time to find the evidence that will solve this case before another murder is committed. This is a book that had me on the edge of my seat and quickly turning pages to find out what happens next. There is plenty of action and danger that Jarvis must face. I also enjoyed reading about the secondary characters. There are those who help Jarvis and others who have their own agenda which cause trouble for him. Jarvis uses every resource available to solve the cases he works. Will Jarvis outsmart this killer and get the justice that the victims and their families deserve? Read this book to find out. This is a series that I would recommend reading in order. Doing this made my reading experience a smoother one. I have never been disappointed by any story that this author has written and I can’t wait to read what he writes next!
The Front Range Butcher is book 7 in the Jarvis Mann Detective Series. Personally I think it can easily be a stand alone. Even though there are several characters from previous books that come into play in this book the author does such a great job describing them and how they interacted previously without going into too much detail that you don’t feel like you a missing something. Though, I highly recommend you do read all the other books only because I really like this series and it gets better with each book. You also get a better understanding on how Jarvis’ character has evolved from book to book.
Jarvis Mann is a private detective and in this book you can really tell his reputation is causing him to get more and more of a following. He’s getting more in demand for jobs. Which is great for him as at the beginning of the series he was barely scraping by financially.
His sarcastic personality comes across quite well in this book. It had me chuckling a few times when others just weren’t too thrilled with it. It’s a wonder sometimes he doesn’t just get punched for it.
As a reader I felt I got quite a bit of a bonus in this book. There were 3 different jobs being investigated. The author did a great job with them as they overlapped each other but you were able to easily follow along without getting confused as to the details of each case. My brain was going on overload trying to figure out ‘who done it’ in each case. Loved the fact that just when I thought I had it figured out there would a twist.
Also loved the danger element. There was a couple times that I was practically at the edge of my seat as I was reading along as I felt either Jarvis was going to get seriously injured or killed.
Great job, R.Weir, you have outdone yourself with this one! Can’t wait till the next book in the series!
The Front Range Butcher is R. Weir’s latest Jarvis Mann mystery. As ardent fans have become accustomed to, there is never a dull moment for our man, Mann.
Each Jarvis Mann mystery can be read as a standalone novel; however, followers of the series will be delighted at Mr. Weir’s deft incorporation of and reference to characters and situations from prior books. In fact, The Front Range Butcher is by far the most complex plot of the series as it threads together multiple new cases, some of which are influence by old cases. Subsequently, it is also the longest book of the series. Mr. Weir provides rich details of the various settings and of Jarvis’ complicated life and varied cases.
Jarvis’ biggest case involves a grisly serial killer who has re-emerged. The gruesomeness of the killings rivals any contemporary psychopath (i.e., Hannibal Lector, Dexter, Mathias—a la The Snowman by Jo Nesbo). The twists and red herrings are complicated and creative. Mr. Weir really got inside the head of his disturbed killer and that of his dysfunctional family. There are a few passages of this book that are difficult to read, as is to be expected with a serial killer mystery. Delightfully, Jarvis Mann finally keeps the same girlfriend (yep, he tends to make stupid choices that drive good women away by the end of each book). Jarvis may actually acknowledge that he has feelings of love for his current girlfriend, April!
The major and minor cases Jarvis tackles in this current book are each intense, and the gumshoe approaches them with his usual sense of justice and humor. It’s a good thing Jarvis is flexible, and “roll with the punches” seems to be his life mantra. The Front Range Butcher is a Jarvis Mann mystery that has been taken up a notch! I continue to enjoy Mr. Weir’s writing, and the evolving Jarvis Mann.
Jarvis Mann is Back!!
I was extremely excited to read the next Jarvis Mann story. I am a major fan of Mann and of course his creator. This was such a perfect case for Mann, and it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. I have to admit that t his may be my favorite one yet, but there is always more to come, so that may change, as each one I read was my favorite one of the series. As always, the story is well-written and it brings you right into the seat next to Mann. His humor and cunning abilities to seek out the truth, are still there, but there is something more about this story. Filled with twists and danger, this reader had to reread pages to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I was just as intrigued with this story, and the case of The Front Range Butcher as Mann was when he was first hired to find this serial killer. This story lets you in the mind of Mann, and a lot of it is written from his POV, but you also get that glimpse into the butcher he is looking for.
