The Upside To Murder

” Marshall Frank has proved　himself a master at suspense with a novel that weaves a twisted crime　story around our most basic human instincts, emotions, and needs. Thumbs up.”

—Bahia Abrams, author, The Other Half Of My Soul

“Marshall Frank knows murder for its complexity and surprises. Only a veteran homicide detective can communicate this fast paced tale to the reader.”

           — Dr. Roger E. Mittleman, Chief Medical Examiner, Florida District 19

“Frank has penned a gripping story filled with real people dealing with real dilemmas of life: separation, pain, loss and grief.　The reactions of his characters to these dilemmas drive a story that unfolds quickly with many a twist and turn.　This book is hard to put down.”

           — John J. Spiegel, Miami Attorney, Former Homicide Detective

“…a thriller that could only be written by a man with an intimate knowledge of detective work; who also happens to be a master of the English language. Demonstrating the author’s attention to detail, each carefully crafted scene—and for that matter, every phrase, paragraph, and page—adds to our understanding of the unfolding drama; as we become more invested in the characters, and increasingly curious regarding the outcome of the story, with each succeeding sentence.“

Frankly Speaking


Frank welcomes intelligent and insightful responses to commentary, especially from folks with contrary points of view and other insights to offer. Please keep comments pertinent to the title issue. Though some issues may draw passionate reactions, Frank insists on maintaining respectful decorum and will take the liberty of deleting foul language or an entire comment if it’s deemed outrageously inappropriate. He would appreciate responders who leave their names, city of residence and, if possible, e-mail address.

Frank has been writing and publishing commentary since 1994. His articles have appeared in various newspapers in North Carolina and Florida, along with short stories in many magazines. True to his moniker “Frankly Speaking,”(the title of one of his books) Frank wastes no words in presenting his message as he hits sharp and hard but above the belt. No one would ever call him politically correct. His critics are hard pressed to pigeonhole him as a liberal or conservative, as his views vary depending on the issue. Because he is not running for office nor seeking a job, the muzzle is off. One critic said, “I don’t always agree with Mr. Frank, but he sure makes you think.”
