Reader Reviews of "Happy Hour Murders"
5.0 out of 5 stars - Who is this guy - hero or villian?
November 30, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition
In Mr Wysocki's latest work, he gives the reader a behind the scenes look into an assassin’s mind. On the surface, we see Salvatore as a kind and considerate neighbor and friend in a community he has just moved into. Without spoiling the plot, suffice it to say that there is a lot more to Salvatore Cabella than meets the eye. Another page turner from beginning to end. This book will not disappoint.
5.0 out of 5 stars - Happy hour in our active adult community will never be the same
November 26, 2017
Format: Paperback
I only wish Fredrick could write the books as quickly as I read them. Another intriguing book that takes place in an Arizona active adult community. Readers will enjoy how the retirement community reacts to each other and the murder in the community. I strongly suggest reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Momentum
By G.R.M.on June 29, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition
Wysocki may just become among the best. While the story lines and character developlment flow nicely, each successive book has more drama, cadence, suspence, and complexity. Don't select this book for night-time reading. You won't sleep.
5.0 out of 5 stars - Another winner for Wysocki
By Glenn Bonaguraon April 28, 2017
The Reluctant Spy is a page turner. If you like Mitch Rapp or Jack Reacher you should read Fredrick Wysocki and get to know Frank Moretti.
5.0 out of 5 stars - Fast and furious
By Les Bush on April 24, 2017
Format: Paperback
The Reluctant Spy moves fast and is the best page-turner I've read in a long time. Wysocki weaves a tight tale through our new technology, and uncertain political landscape, that is fascinating and keeps you guessing as to how it will end. And who could have guessed that I would end up liking Frank Moretti, if just a little? What's next?!?!
5.0 out of 5 stars - Another great read
By Amazon Customeron April 25, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition
Mr. Wysocki continues to mesmerize and entertain the reader with his in depth character development and expert storytelling. In this book as in his previous works, he has quickly developed a style that is easy to read, highly entertaining and very difficult to put down. I really love this author and look forward, with great anticipation, to each new release of his works

Overlaying what feels like a very believable series of new experiences and personal emotions while equipping the reader with an appreciation of religious and secular issues embedded in much of the Middle East was masterful. I'm betting that adventures of Naomi Dolphin has a screenplay coming.

Reader Reviews of "A Timely Revenge"
5.0 out of 5 stars - What a trip!
By G.R.M.
What a trip! From Chicago to St. Kitts. From congressional power grabs to corporate board room manipulations, murder, and prison. Wysocki wrote a another fascinating tale of greed, corruption, and the very linked lusts of power and wealth. A well written prequel and the back story on Anthony Rizzo, "...the son of a loan shark" whose father taught him too well about life from a very dark perspective. This is the second easy read from this author and, based on my casual reading preferences, Mr. Wysocki is two-for-two. Keep them coming.
5.0 out of 5 stars - Great story, superb character development and an exciting read.
By Arizona Steve
This was a great read. Filled with intrigue and drama but also with a solid background of technology and business savvy. The character development and descriptions created vivid mental snapshots of the characters. Underlying the entire story is a devious plan of action that leaves you with an appreciation of the villain.
5.0 out of 5 stars - A must read
By David Folsom
The "Timely Revenge" character interactions of two very different but powerful families and political, business and legal process each pursued to achieve dominance was a fascinating read. Anthony’s method of assembling a sphere of influence of supporting characters rewarded handsomely for their support was so smooth his opponents never saw the results coming.
Reader Reviews of "The Start-up"
5.0 out of 5 stars – A Thrilling Page Turner - A Must Read!
By R Johnson on June 3, 2014
This is one of those books that you just can’t put down – I read it in just a few days! Even if you are not familiar with the world of IT, you will be caught up in the wild ride. The characters are interesting and plausible and the start-up and mob connections are thought provoking. Could this ever happen or more importantly DID this ever happen? Who knows, but I want more from this author and I look forward to his next book.
5.0 out of 5 stars – Great first Novel!
By Tom on May 31, 2014
Frederick has given us a fast moving extremely interesting first novel. His background of some of the players and goings on in the Venture capital field is apparent. The author does an outstanding job of setting up the main character and his move from college student to future head of the mob. I highly recommend this book!
5.0 out of 5 stars - Excellent read!
By Scott Batiste on May 25, 2014
The Start Up is entertaining and gives some great insights into what is happening in a fast paced growing tech start up business. Wysocki does an excellent job keeping the reader interested. He is on track to be the next John Grisham or Lee Child.
5.0 out of 5 stars - Great Book!

5.0 out of 5 stars - Suspensful and intriguing a real page turner
By Arizona Steve on April 21, 2014
There were many aspects which made this a great read. The author was able to take the technical intricacies of the business end of a start up company and make it understandable and enjoyable for the reader. I enjoyed the underlying family dynamics that kept appearing throughout the book. The character development was strong and the moral transformation of the principle character up to the final page was beautifully done. Overall, I was really impressed with Mr. Wysocki's skills as an author and look forward to the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Great insight into the background members of a Start-Up company
By Lynne Petersen on March 27, 2014
The Start-Up kept me on the edge of my chair. I could not put it down. Will he or will he not cross the line is always on your mind. Great insight into the background members of a Start-Up company. I hope there is at least another book to dwell into the characters.
4.0 out of 5 stars A quick-paced read that makes you wonder what’s really under the covers in the tech world.
By John Schoutsen on April 1, 2014
This book makes you wonder about the possible depth of corruption in big business. After Madoff and a slew of others, how can’t we wonder? Wysocki casts a fictional “what-if” light on the tech industry with a collision of underworld/mob tactics, venture capital and the self-interest of clueless corporate executives. I enjoyed this book. If you are involved in the tech industry, follow it as an investor, or just want a fast-paced read that takes you through a fictional world of corporate greed and big money, you’ll get a real kick out of this book and start questioning what might really be behind the tech industry headlines.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Start-up --- here comes Frederick Wysocki !!
By G.R. Muehlhauser on March 18, 2014
I think we have discovered another talented author. Frederick Wysocki has delivered a well structured, entertaining, and easy-to-read book. That in itself is a significant accomplishment as there are so many who claim to be able to write but few "authors" who exceed reader expectations as he did with this book. "The Start-up" is a fun read; well paced, a look at some dark choices, and inclusive of evidence that Wysocki understands some of the possible corporate, personnel, and personal complexities imbedded in strategic initiatives. If this book gets sufficient visibility, it will take off. Let's hope for more like this one from this previously unknown author.
