The Rich Are Different is Now Available

The sec­ond book in the Dako­ta Stevens Mys­tery Series by Chris Orcutt, The Rich Are Dif­fer­ent, is now avail­able for Kin­dle on Ama­zon.

In Feb­ru­ary, I start­ed re-edit­ing the nov­el, and five stren­u­ous months lat­er, it’s final­ly ready. In the last month alone, I went through the man­u­script half a dozen times. I want­ed it to be as good as I can make it, and now it is.

It’s a bet­ter nov­el than the first one, believe it or not. It’s dark­er, there’s more char­ac­ter devel­op­ment, and the rela­tion­ship between Dako­ta and Svet­lana deep­ens. Dako­ta isn’t quite as quip­py, yet there are still plen­ty of good lines and come­backs. The impor­tant thing is, it’s a true sequel, pick­ing up only a few months after A Real Piece of Work ends. Dako­ta is depressed, and he’s lost his detect­ing mojo. Will he get it back and solve the next case?

For details on the plot and what inspired me to write it, vis­it the book page on this site. Or, if you just want to buy a copy, click here.

I hope you all down­load a copy of the nov­el and love it. And if you do love it, please post a pos­i­tive review on Ama­zon. Thanks to your sup­port, A Real Piece of Work has gar­nered over 90 cus­tomer 5‑star reviews, as well as 5‑star reviews from Kin­dle Book Review and IndieRead­er. Your pur­chas­es, reviews and word-of-mouth adver­tis­ing direct­ly con­tributed to the nov­el­’s suc­cess, and I’m hop­ing to con­tin­ue this trend with The Rich Are Dif­fer­ent.

Final­ly, I want to thank all fans of Dako­ta & Svet­lana who were patient with me while I “got the words right,” as Hem­ing­way put it. I have striv­en to give you the very best nov­el I can, and I hope you enjoy it.
