Enjoy this Free Contemporary Small Town Amateur Sleuth Murder Mystery


My wife died in my arms, the victim of a nameless killer's bullet. I should have died with her. But God had other plans for me. 


Fifteen years later, I'm back where it all happened. I just want to forget, but the past won't leave me alone.


Now, I'm asking a woman who I left broken-hearted twenty years before to catch my wife's killer.


I'm Father Tom Greer, a Catholic priest, and I'm playing with fire.

Engaging and believable. Very well written as well. The only thing I couldn't relate to was that Father Greers secret did not live up to the hype that was created around it. Other than that small detail I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, characters and everything else about the story.

Well-written and a good story, although better editing could have filled a few holes in the plot and so much emphasis was placed on the guilty party that his identity came as no surprise. But all in all, worth reading. 29.01.2021

I enjoyed the book&story quite a lot, refreshing with a priest as main character doing the sleuthing. I had received a free copy of the book and I think I will buy another to see if the style keeps up.
