Who is Mitchum?
Robert Mitchum, (only his mother calls him by that name), is an ‘unofficial’, private investigator for the town of Marlboro and it’s surrounding area. He also delivers the newspaper part-time, sometimes with his dog, Bart Simpson. Mitchum had been through a few forensic and crime scene schools in the Navy as well as some classes through Dutchess Community College.
He was rejected from the Navy Seal program and now resides in Marlboro, New York, where he has more relatives than there are cops in the area. Mitchum is close with his mother, his cousin Bailey Mae helps with the paper route and Nathaniel, (Natty), his brother, well, he’s a drug dealer.

Welcome back Shanta! I’m happy to hear that you have already read some of the Mitchum series. The River Murders is proving to be a very popular book this year. Revenge is another one people are watching closely. I thank you for visiting and sharing my article with your friends. Happy Reading!
Hi Tracy! These are very interesting titles. I had read a bit of a summary on a forum about “Hidden”. I’d like to discover how that story ends. When the family comes together to solve some difficult cases or when tragedy happens, the family bond increases. Why does adversity bring that out of us?

Paolo, I’m happy to see you here. I hope you get the chance to discover how Hidden ends and let me know your thoughts. I believe that adversity enhances our coping abilities and knowing that we have our family’s love, support, and strength increases our bond. Thanks for the comment, Happy Reading!
