"Fast-paced stories you will find hard to put down. Superb character studies with plausible plots."

​Reader Reviews of "Separate Honeymoons"
5.0 out of 5 stars A thriller from start to finish. Best Wysocki book yet    Steve P.
A gradual personality change in the main character was masterfully created and kept me enthralled. 

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!!     Nancy E.
This was super wrap book for this excellent series. 

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fabulous book!    Rita K.
Each book in this series is as spellbinding as the last. Naomi and Frank are involved in a new adventure involving drug cartels, the American military, and Mother Nature. All combine to initially look insurmountable, but the deeper character development in Frank and Naomi allows for an interesting outcome.

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  - Great book.

Reader Reviews of "The Reluctant Spy"

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

Reader Reviews of "The Arabian Client"  
 
5.0 out of 5 stars - FIVE STARS – Writing Excellence
By G.R.M. 
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 "No Time For Fools"
 
5.0 out of 5 stars - FIVE STARS - Riveting read with surprise ending!
By Carmen C
Couldn't wait for Mr. Wysocki's 4th book to come out and it is everything I was hoping for and more! Stayed up all night to finish and the surprise ending was worth it! Ludlum and Follett have competition!
 
5.0 out of 5 stars - FIVE STARS - No Time for fools
By Donald W. Graw
Great read, once you start you won't want to put it down till its done. Can't wait to read the next in the series. Frank Moretti and Naomi look like they are in for an interesting ride with the government cyber unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars - FIVE STARS

5.0 out of 5 stars - Intense thriller that will keep you wanting more

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! 
By Jane F on May 21, 2014
A real page turner, Start Up is a suspenseful and gripping story that keeps you guessing what is going to happen next. Can't wait for the sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars - A Page Turner for Your Summer Reading List!
By LifeInBalance on May 19, 2014
Frederick Wysocki delivers a fast paced and exciting debut novel. Filled with mergers and acquisitions, venture capitalists and investment bankers, The Start Up provides a behind-the-scenes look at the ever changing world of a new business. Add the latest technology, billionaires, and the modern Mob, and you've got a real page turner. The book delivers right until end with a twist you won't want to miss!

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 - Recommend you find out!
By Mike Kendrick on April 9,2014 on Amazon Canada
What happens when old world criminals meet new Tech corporate greed. You have to ask yourself, "What could possibly go wrong?"

 5.0 out of 5 stars - Great character study   
By Shan Koenig on March 20, 2014
What a ride this book was. Wysocki clearly captures the greed driven morphing of his characters. I thought it was a superb and telling character study.

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 -  IT Thriller
By Brian McConnell on March 16, 2014
Intriguing book lifting the veil behind the always mysterious IT world business and executives. Great Beach book. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read 
By Art F. on March 28, 2014
A good fast-paced book on how the mob might infiltrate the business of hi-tech start-ups. Hard to imagine something of this scale getting through, but Wysocki does a good job weaving a plausible tale. Recommend picking up a copy.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars -  Fascinating tale that grips and offers plenty to think about later on - a must read
By Marilyn Fortier on March 12, 2014
This was a book I could not put down. Definitely a believable and utterly consuming tale. I look forward to A follow up book!
