I seldom give 5 stars when reviewing a book. (Heck, I seldom write reviews on these Kindle books.) No matter how much I enjoy the story, there is always a “but”. “I liked it, but”. If there is a “but” to this book, it is minimal. I like reading detective murder mysteries. Just so you know a little about this reviewer, I usually don’t care for women authors (But I try hard not to be sexist). My age is pushing the end of the 60’s so some may say I’m old. I am and it gives me a certain perspective that you may not share. There was a time in my life when I was a serious drinker. I’m not sure if I was an alcoholic because I don’t really know the true definition of an alcoholic. Suffice to say I was a drinker but not now. I mention it because it works with this story. Usually I don’t care for stories that try to work in a love interest either. I usually like the more gritty type of detective tales.
Without giving too much away from the book, there is a passage that says: “The truth is that wherever a man lies with a woman, there, whether they like it or not, a transcendental relation is set between them which must be eternally enjoyed or eternally endured.” When you think about it, this is a very poignant thought. It is part of the story but also causes the reader to reflect on personal experiences. Maybe this is part of what makes this story so enthralling.
Whether I like a book or not is a very personal opinion. I may like it a great deal, you may not. With all that said, for a person like me, this was a good story and well worth the read. It retained my interest and kept me wondering about different facets of where the story line was headed. The author, T.J. Brearton is good at story telling in his first commercially published novel. He makes it all the easier to relate to his characters or at least understand where they’re coming from. One of the key talents of this writer is to write a good ending. So many scribes tell a good story and then leave the reader flat at the end. That is certainly not the case in this edition. I won’t give it away but suffice to say, the ending is good. Take a chance and read the book and see if you are of the same opinion. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
