“A sleek New York edge. I loved this second book in the series. It has more subplots and even more intrigue than the first book. You can see how the group has progressed with their detective skills and even their ability to work even closer together as a team. Really great progression by author Andrew Pacholyk, who truly seems to understand this genre. This book has more twists than a pretzel. ”
“I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this second book. It proved to be the best one yet from Andrew. He knows New York and the story line is really interesting. It shows how the police can get things wrong sometimes and assume things they really know nothing about. It took a team of young dancers who have used their other side of the brain to bring together justice and all with sense of humor and fun.”
“A great murder mystery. Loved the New York locations of each chapter. It was a beautiful homage to many neighborhoods without being trite or silly. You can tell the author has New York in his soul. This was a roller coaster ride from beginning to end. The final chapter will blow you away. The character play and interactions are very real and there is also a lot of New York humor, colloquialisms, and banter that can only come from a veteran gothamite. Just a great whodunit.”

In the vibrant and exhilarating city of New York, a fusion of the famous and ambitious seamlessly intertwine with a drive and determination that is unparalleled.
The cutthroat pursuit of ascending the social ladder is unparalleled in its intensity, driven by an insatiable desire for greater wealth, increased fame, and enhanced control. Opportunity and temptation abound…

From the stage to the city streets, from the art world to the underground nightclub scene, Drew and his crew are unwittingly thrown into unwanted chaos.
The scandal only becomes bigger when they define just how deep the corruption goes, entangling them in a much larger plot.

Now, they confront a labyrinthine web of deceit, where the pursuit of wealth, fame, and power has led to a series of tragic events. They must uncover New York’s most deceptive murder… or die trying!
“Fast and furious! Three times the plot twists. It is a quick New York paced story that keeps you turning the page. There is a uniqueness to this mystery that feels like it was ripped from the headlines. The natural progression of the detectives from their first case to the next is exciting to see. A mystery lover’s dream. Loved the New York locations.”
“We love following up on our favorite mystery series and Andrew Pacholyk’s second book, Scandal Beneath the Skyline – in his Drew and the Detective novel series – follows in the rhythm of the first book. High brow, fast-paced, and laden with plot twists and interesting storylines. Drew’s puzzling mind, is complimented by his friends, which include Israel – a tech-savvy genius, Aisha – a precocious kick-ass movie actress, Francy – an empowering leader and fitness goddess, Elena, a consummate New Yorker with an edge, Grace – a motherly caregiver who finds romance, and Debra – the matter of fact, get it done kind of friend we all need. Highly recommended.”
