Charlie Smythington
Welcome to the Charlie Smythington Mystery Series Blog. Late one night a few years ago, I suddenly got an urge to write a murder mystery after working on science fiction novels for years. When I sat down at the computer, I was feeling whimsical, and out popped Charlie – he didn’t have a last name […]

John E. Stith
For Mind Control
Paul Hillman's MIND CONTROL is a fun blend of mystery, near-future science, and high-tech puzzle, populated by sympathetic characters doing the smart thing. Refreshing!
Linda Erickson
For Mind Control
Spell bounding! Engaging! Intriguing! Mind Control captured my “mind and attention” wholeheartedly. I always judge a novel by these two criteria: I can’t put it down or I can hardly wait to get back to it. Mind Control earned an A+ in both categories. A must read!
Dustin Sovo
For A Phone to Kill For
Filled with criminal elements, dark secrets, and many other surprises. For those who love NCIS, Criminal Minds, Grimm, Law and Order, Homicide Hunter, and other crime shows/movies, this is the book for you.
Cathy DeVault
For A Phone to Kill For
Fast paced with lots of twists In his first novel, Paul Hillman offers up a flawed character with a good heart. Murder, danger, heroic actions, and a commitment to do the right thing gives the main character the qualities that make you want to know him. Follow Charlie through a fast-paced adventure fraught with danger and intrigue. You won't be sorry!
Harriet Bing
For Mind Control
This book has heart and brains, romance, and a turreted castle, with a fascinating science fiction thread running through it. Set in the Pacific Northwest, this fast, exciting novel is enlivened by first-rate detecting and fast-paced action. Highly recommended beach read.
Gene Knudson
For Mind Control
He's done it again! Paul Hillman has created a second action-packed, surprise-filled book in The Charlie Smythington Series. Charlie is a super sleuth that even finds himself in the middle of gunbattles! Not a dull moment in this book!
