Even the name bugs me. I was really surprised to see Murphy have his own book at all, let alone so soon after Angelina's death, but that's OK, b/c I wasn't all that interested in him or Hannah. But I flew through this book. I was just in it for the progression of the series and more "face" time with my favorite characters from past books. I wasn't thrilled to see more Tess and Nash, as I've never liked their pairing and frankly can't stand Tess. I love this Troubleshooters series so much that it's getting to be a little weird. I pretty much think about the characters all the time, like they're real people or something.
(This was the only storyline that seemed a little farfetched, but I will wait and see where it goes. So, Hannah feels that it is up to her to not only care enough, but prove Murphy's innocence and determine who is responsible for the deed and why, even though Murphy isn't sure if he is responsible or not. Both recovering from their own demons and torrid pasts, they are torn between friendship and passion. Among them, Tess and Nash, who are struggling to overcome the fact that Nash is hiding a secret that could destroy them.
Murphy, became an alcoholic with a death wish following Angelina's death, and is now believed to have murdered the man responsible for his wife's death (Tim Ebersole). Murphy, whose beloved wife Angelina was murdered in a previous Troubleshooter story, has decided to reconnect with the world and his best friend Hannah. It definitely isn't over). Brockmann has once again provided an entertaining tale that includes the right mixture of romance, intrigue and suspense. However, they both soon discover that Tim Ebersole's death is the key that will unlock the mystery to all that is happening.
For those who love the Troubleshooter Series, you will see those characters that you have grown to enjoy and catch up on what has been happening in their lives. I enjoyed this novel and look forward to the next installment in the series. Hannah is an ex-cop who was injured in an accident that left her addicted to pain killers, deaf and suffering with an injury that won't heal. And then there is the Sophia, Decker, and Dave triangle storyline that is continued but this time with some resolution. Meanwhile, womanizer/Navy Seal Izzy Zannella has decided to wed Danny Gillman's teenage sister, Eden, who is 6 months pregnant by someone else.
Realizing that it is not simply his duty, but his uncontrollable desire for her that has caused him to want to "rescue" her, he quickly finds himself falling in love. We see Jenkins, Lindsey, Lopez, Gillman, and the rest of the gang are mentioned (Alyssa, Sam, Tom, Cosmo), and future storylines revealed.
I just started reading your books and I haven't been disappointed yet. By the end of this book the birds were chirping (Loud)7:25am. You are one talented writer. Suzanne " Da Bomb" Brockman, keep on bringing it. I could not put this book down. I'm waiting for the movie. I mean it was getting late 1:30am and I wasn't even halfway through the book. I tried to put it down twice, I really did.
You Go Girl. I said OK what's going on with this book. It was non stop Greatness. I'm wide awake and in Love with this Author. I started reading this book at 10pm last night and after reading five chapters I was intriqued. It's jumping around but I'm not lost and I kept going - it was pretty good. Wish I could write like that. HOLLYWOOD Get To Calling.
I loved this book, I loved that it wasn't one looong story drawn out, that it was a very involved fast paced arc of stories that tied together to a explosive ending. I bought several more "Troubleshooter" titles to start reading next.
I was a fan of the early works of Suzanne Brockman, but this book was too frenetic. There were too many subplots, and the constant switching back and forth I found confusing. Even though I have read some of her books, I had trouble keeping everyone straight. Not one of her better books.
