Hypocrisy
Dr. Lauren Crawford is a brilliant research scientist who discovers a revolutionary treatment for cancer that not only extends life, but much improves the quality of life for terminal cancer patients. The treatment, in some instances, can even cure certain cancers. On the evening before Dr. Crawford holds a press conference to announce that the FDA has given preliminary approval of her new cancer treatment, somebody follows her to her car and puts three bullets in her head. Was it a planned murder with a motive, a mugging gone badly, or merely a random act of violence? Two New York City homicide detectives, Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown, are assigned to the investigation. The detectives evaluate the circumstances surrounding Dr. Crawford’s death, and follow a trail of clues that exposes a sequence of startling facts. One by one, the detectives carefully examine each suspect and piece together a puzzle with unimaginable implications. As the investigation gets more intense, and the detectives get closer to solving the murder mystery, someone threatens Dupree’s life. The detectives now realize that Dr. Crawford’s murder was much more than a homicide. And if they don’t arrest the murderer soon, Dupree might be the next victim.

About the author
D.M. Annechino
7 books24 followersIt wasn't until I hit my 40's that I discovered my God-given talent for the written word. I'm not totally clear on how the first book came about. I wrote it in 1992. I think it was on a dare. I had been working as a General Manager in the retail automotive business, and a colleague suggested that someone should write an intelligent guide on how to buy a car and beat the dealer at his own game. It was a challenge that beckoned me, and for some reason the whole idea excited me. With pen in hand--I didn't own an early computer or word processor back then--I wrote the entire book longhand. I tackled this undertaking without an outline or even the most remote idea how this book would unfold. My approach was totally unorganized and unconventional. I just started writing, and the chapters poured out of my head. I could barely keep pace with my thoughts and ideas. For fear a fresh idea would fade to oblivion, I often had to stop writing long enough to scribble notes about a new idea that popped into my head.
To date, Amazon Publishing has published three of my novels: They Never Die Quietly, Resuscitation, and I Do Solemnly Swear. The three books combined have sold 150,000 copies worldwide. I'm not yet hanging up there with the big guns--not even close--but for a skinny kid who nearly flunked English in high school, I think I've done pretty well.
Hypocrisy, my fourth novel was released March of 2014, and A Piece of You, novel number five, should be released later this year. The moral of the story? If you have a passion for writing, don't let rejection hold you back or discourage you. Persevere and remember that rejection is a prerequisite to success. Keep those fingers poised above the keyboard and write, write, write.

I really liked this mystery thriller, it has all the right stuff to make you want to read more without giving away too much until the time is right. I loved that it was fast pace but we got to know the main characters and see them grow as a team. I found that the relationship between the two detectives was very interesting and I wanted to read more. I also liked the storyline and how everything came together and made sense in the end. I love strong written women characters, Amaris Dupree is that and more. She is smart and has the sense of who is being truthful and who is lying. She is as hard working and can take a beating being a female homicide detective. Her partner is just as hardworking and strong as her, but he can pick up a small detail like no ones business as well as being able to fill in the shortcomings of his partner. I seem to always know who the killer is way before the end of a book, movie or TV show, but with Hypocrisy I didn't know who the killer was until the very end. It has so many twists the you will keep guessing. I really enjoyed this book and I am giving it a 4 out of 5 stars.

I enjoyed the growing relationship between the two detectives.....movie material? No. But potential for a great drama/comedy series....I would like to read another book with this crime duo.

Not for me.
I could not even get past the first chapter. There are just way too many spelling and grammatical errors for me.

Review By Ryder Islington, author of ULTIMATE JUSTICE, A Trey Fontaine Mystery
If you haven’t enjoyed the writing of D.M. Annechino, you don’t know what you’re missing. I’m not usually pulled into a book so that I read it through in a day. Hypocricy pulled me in.
The plot involves the murder of a research scientist who has created a formula for easing the symptoms, improving the quality of life, and sometimes even extending the life, of cancer patients. Was it the unhappy ex-employee? The underpaid director of the research facility? A drug company that would lose millions if this drug worked? An ex-lover?
Mind you, I did have a couple of hiccups during the reading. I found it very odd that the major point-of-view character, Homicide Detective Amaris Dupree thought of herself as ‘Dupree’, while addressing her partner, T.J. Brown as T.J. And there were a few places where the dialogue of two people was not separated by a return, so I had to think about who was saying what. On the other hand, the story was so compelling, the characters so well-rounded, that instead of giving up and putting the book down, I read–I had to read–to find out who dun it, and what would happen next.
But the ending! A knock’em dead ending. If you’re a lover of mystery and suspense, this book is for you.

September 16, 2014
Hypocrisy started with a bang - literally - as we experience Dr. Lauren Crawford's final moments before her life is snuffed out by a killer. We quickly see how devastating her loss is, not only to her mother but to millions worldwide who had the potential for a cure from cancer. Once her own mother was diagnosed with the disease a few years before, Dr. Crawford stopped at nothing in her attempts to prolong her mother's life and find a cure. Mere days away from finalizing the FDA's requirements, forward momentum and funding for research ceases with her death. But is Lauren's death a random mugging gone wrong or is something more sinister at play?
Enter Detectives Amaris Dupree and TJ Brown, homicide partners throughout the last six months who continue to struggle to understand one another. TJ is continually late or absent when Amaris needs him on this case because Dr. Crawford's death brings back memories and regrets that have haunted her for years. Somewhere in the midst of the investigation, the two have to come to terms with their own demons if they're ever going to mesh as a team.
I'm still a little torn on Hypocrisy. The story started off quite well, giving the reader hints along the way at each players' tragic pasts. I found Amaris to be a relatable character, though TJ didn't get fleshed out as well as I'd like to have seen. He felt more like an unloyal-turned-loyal pet on a leash instead of a character with his own merits and abilities. Now Brenda, the support analyst at the precinct, was a lot of fun and I'd have enjoyed seeing more of her interactions with the partners. Then the dynamic between Amaris and TJ fluctuated so much it felt as if they were merely players on a stage directed with a heavy hand as they toggled back and forth. It made their motivations and actions toward each other stiff and stilted, suddenly turning from hot to cold and back again.
Initially the plot moved along quite well and was focused, and I really enjoyed reading during this time. But by midway through the novel it felt as if the mystery had taken a major backseat to the little side squabbles that really didn't do much to move the story along and grew rather rambling as if added as filler. A bit too much telling during this phase contributed to the drag as well. However, point-of-view was handled well and properly delineated by scene and chapter breaks. Thumbs up for that!
Additional editing would be helpful for Hypocrisy, as there were several instances of the wrong word utilized (here/hear and you're/your) as well as a Nissan Ultima instead of Altima - sorry, I'm a car nut and this really stood out. There were a few formatting issues such as hard returns within sentences or extra spacing, but this was more a minor issue.
The biggest problem I had was the plethora of improper procedures utilized by the detectives. Once the investigation really got underway, there was a constant stream of suspects brought in for questioning, many of whom were hardened criminals, and then broke with little provocation. Then when someone asked for an attorney, the detectives didn't stop with their questioning like they should have. They started offering plea bargains without bringing in or consulting with the D.A.'s office. DNA matching in less than 24 hours? I can stomach play on reality, but this just went on and on to the point that I shook my head in disbelief. The greatest frustration was when they had someone in interrogation who admitted to involvement in the conspiracy, they had solid evidence on the guy that he'd committed a crime, and yet they simply let him WALK OUT THE DOOR??? Nope. Huh-uh. Didn't work for me.
By the end, everything tied up in a nice, neat, and completely expected little bow - and yet it felt hollow. What started out as a story with great potential ended up leaving me feeling disappointed. I liked Amaris and would've enjoyed Hypocrisy much more without all of the little side filler stories, the odd and unnecessary interactions between Amaris and TJ, and if it would've had more believable procedural interplay. I'm going to have to settle on three and a half stars.
I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for a review and was not financially compensated for my opinion.

In a world where technology is evolving at an exponential rate, it will only be a matter of time before diseases like cancer finally find a cure and find that it is as treatable as polio. "Only in light of the fact cancer research, cancer treatment, cancer prevention is a multi-billion dollar enterprise. Do you have any idea how many people are employed just because there is no real cure for cancer? Do you have any idea how much the pharmaceutical industry makes treating cancer patients with chemotherapy drugs? Ca you even begin to imagine how many hundreds of research centers there are worldwide that are funded by the American Cancer Society, The National Cancer Institute, and other non-profit organizations, and private investors? How about radiology, oncology, surgery? What if Dr. Laura Crawford's clinical research validated her theories, if she had developed an effective treatment for cancer, the entire landscape of cancer research and treatment would dramatically change. So is murder the justification to keep things as they have always been or is there another motive for her death?" (pg 57).
Those are just a handful of the questions that New York City homicide detectives Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown are trying to find answers for. Not only has the murder of Dr. Crawford cost her her own life but possibly the lives of millions who could have been saved by her research findings. She was on the cusp of announcing a discover that would change cancer once and for all and was about to get approval from the FDA to begin using it as treatment for cancer patients everywhere. Is is possible that there are companies willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that that doesn't happen, or even worse that greed has become the sole motivator for companies to take risks like murder to prevent them from losing the potential billions if this drug finding was approved?
As the two detectives interview countless suspects, they also deal with the fact after six months on the job neither of them knows much about the other, and that is what's possibly keeping them from working so well together. As partners, you need to understand the dynamics of what one works and thinks the way they do, and until these two have a true heart to heart, holding nothing back conversation, it may in fact hinder the amount of detective work that they can accomplish. However the closer they get to the truth, one of them will find their own life is at stake and thus upping the ante to find the answers out before there is another murder.
I received Hypocrisy by D.M. Annechino compliments of iRead Book Tours for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are my own unless otherwise notated. This is the first time reading one of D.M. Annechino's novels and while the premise behind the novel is initially what drew me in, the constant description of how well endowed naturally Dupree's assets were in light of her working with her other male counterparts was something that I felt detracted me away from the novel. There is a toggling of parallel storylines, the one in which initially drew me to want to read this book, and the conflict in the relationships between the two detectives that had no real purpose in the novel for me. It almost felt like two books in one but with no apparent meaning in moving the story along. I'd have to say for me, this one rates a 3.5 out of 5 stars. There is a fair amount of profanity laced throughout the novel which for most of my readers they may find offensive but overall the storyline is enough to keep you moving through the novel to see how it turns out in the end.

Hypocrisy by D.M. Annechino is a murder mystery and a great way to spend a few hours curled up in your favorite chair with. I felt like I was watching one of my favorite shows Law & Order but in book form.
Research scientist Dr. Lauren Crawford has discovered a breakthrough treatment for cancer enabling patients to live longer and sometimes even becoming cancer free. On the evening before she is to attend a press conference announcing this treatment to the world she ends up dead. Was it just a random killing or something much more sinister?
Detectives Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown are on the job and it becomes clear early on that there are many suspects in this case. There was Dr. Crawford’s on and off again boyfriend who didn’t seem to have much going for him but he adamantly denies any involvement. There is also Maggie, an employee who had been employed by Dr. Crawford and also fired – unjustly according to Maggie. No surprise that she denies any involvement as well. Amaris and T.J. find both of them suspicious and even more so when it seems the two have decided to move in together. Then there is the big question – who stands to lose the most if this treatment is successful? The drug companies of course. Cancer drugs are a multi-billion dollar business and if there is a cure for cancer quite obviously they are going to suffer big time. As Amaris and T.J. sift through the clues and begin uncovering more layers Amaris begins to receive threats. Soon enough it becomes a race to solve this mystery before Amaris herself ends up a victim!
Sometimes I find with books like this that I don’t form any connection with the characters but that wasn’t so with this one and it’s because the author took the time to give a back story on both Amaris and T.J. and as a reader that likes that connection I appreciated it. They became not just detectives, but human beings. To uncover why they became police officers and what drives their passion for the job added to the story for me. I thought the two had a great chemistry both on the job and off and I’m hoping that there will be more books to come featuring Amaris and T.J.
If you enjoy a good murder mystery be sure to give Hypocrisy a try! I enjoyed it a great deal and the pages flew by quickly in my desire to get myself to the end to find out what really happened and why. For my readers who are uncomfortable with bad language there is some in the book so be aware of that. Other than that I recommend this one as a fast, easy, and enjoyable read!

Research scientist Dr. Lauren Crawford has discovered a breakthrough treatment for cancer enabling patients to live longer and sometimes even becoming cancer free. On the evening before she is to attend a press conference announcing this treatment to the world she ends up dead. Was it just a random killing or something much more sinister?
Detectives Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown are on the job and it becomes clear early on that there are many suspects in this case. There was Dr. Crawford’s on and off again boyfriend who didn’t seem to have much going for him but he adamantly denies any involvement. There is also Maggie, an employee who had been employed by Dr. Crawford and also fired – unjustly according to Maggie. No surprise that she denies any involvement as well. Amaris and T.J. find both of them suspicious and even more so when it seems the two have decided to move in together. Then there is the big question – who stands to lose the most if this treatment is successful? The drug companies of course. Cancer drugs are a multi-billion dollar business and if there is a cure for cancer quite obviously they are going to suffer big time. As Amaris and T.J. sift through the clues and begin uncovering more layers Amaris begins to receive threats. Soon enough it becomes a race to solve this mystery before Amaris herself ends up a victim!
Sometimes I find with books like this that I don’t form any connection with the characters but that wasn’t so with this one and it’s because the author took the time to give a back story on both Amaris and T.J. and as a reader that likes that connection I appreciated it. They became not just detectives, but human beings. To uncover why they became police officers and what drives their passion for the job added to the story for me. I thought the two had a great chemistry both on the job and off and I’m hoping that there will be more books to come featuring Amaris and T.J.
If you enjoy a good murder mystery be sure to give Hypocrisy a try! I enjoyed it a great deal and the pages flew by quickly in my desire to get myself to the end to find out what really happened and why. For my readers who are uncomfortable with bad language there is some in the book so be aware of that. Other than that I recommend this one as a fast, easy, and enjoyable read!

The book opens with the murder of Dr. Crawford, a scientist who was about to have FDA approval for her cancer treatment. Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown catch the case and begin interviewing the people that knew her best. With each friend or co-worker they find another piece of the puzzle. It turns out that much more is going on then a simple murder of a single doctor.
While the partners are investigating they decide to take a breather and head out for drinks one night. Amaris gets to talk and shares the story of her childhood with T.J. It's a story no one knows and she's afraid it will affect their partnership. As it turns out T.J. has had his own hardships and when he opens up to Amaris, the two become more bonded then ever before. Soon they are an unstoppable team.
They soon get a tip about a car that had been following Dr. Crawford around. When they find the owner he leads them to another man. Soon they have a large group of people that may have been part of a conspiracy to commit murder. It starts out as small time players but soon there are CEO's and big wigs involved. If Amaris and T.J. are able to turn evidence to convict the people responsible it will cause a lot of companies some major trouble.
Meanwhile, who will take control of the cancer treatment Dr. Crawford was working on? Who would benefit most from getting it? Dupree and T.J. are racing against the clock as dead bodies are piling up and one of them might just be next.
Amaris Dupree is a smart woman who has a keen sense for who is telling the truth and who isn't. T.J. is a great observer who picks up on the small details. Together they make an almost unstoppable force. I enjoyed seeing how they worked together and whenever one was lacking, the other picked up the pieces. They are both smart, hard working, and have skeletons in their past that make them more realistic.
I enjoyed the fast pace of the book. There were so many twists and turns that I didn't know who the murderer was until almost the end of the book. The reasons behind the murder made sense once it all came together. This was an easy to read book that made me want to keep turning the pages until I found out what would happen next.

I love me a good mystery and that’s what I found in Hypocrisy. Detective Amaris Dupree is believable as the female lead detective in this novel. A detective that has some family issues of her own but manages to keep it together and do this case justice. T.J. Brown, her partner of only a few months is likable as well and they have good chemistry together which is what’s needed for a pair of detectives to be interesting.
The mystery in this book is all about the death of a scientist who has made a very important discovery. A discovery that could sink her competition (the drug industry) and cost them to lose billions in prescription costs. Mr Annechino says this several times throughout the book so I’m not giving anything away. In fact, there are so many players in this book, I went back and forth as to who I thought was ultimately responsible and this is what a good mystery lets you do. It lets you judge the characters to see if they are killer material, if they have a good motive (which several of them did), and if ultimately you think they are the ones who “pulled the trigger” literally or figuratively. A good mystery also gives you an opportunity to change your mind as new facts come to the surface.
I enjoyed reading Hypocrisy. I enjoyed the twists and turns it took and I enjoyed having to change my mind again and again as I thought I had it all figured out only to discover I didn’t have a clue what I was talking about! Pick it up, read it, enjoy it. If you figured out who is responsible right away you are a much better Detective than I am!

This is such a sad story. A very loving and good doctor is trying to do something great for cancer patients and it was all because her mother had gotten cancer and had to go out of the country for treatment that wasn't available here. So, she makes it her mission to help cancer patients. Sounds like a very caring and involved doctor, but someone didn't want her solving the cancer issue.
I guess it brings in big bucks and god forbid we stop helping doctors and hospitals along with insurance companies from making money off of us sick people! This book really hit a raw nerve as you all know I am Disabled and I have to admit that between the seniors and the disabled, we get treated pretty darn shabby. I used to get the best care and no tests were ever withheld from me if a doctor thought something might be wrong, but not anymore. No one hardly runs tests anymore. It's such a shame what we have become and this story just boiled my blood.
But, if you love medical drama/thrillers, then this is the book for you! Lots of action, lots of people who could be guilty and a very determined woman detective and her partner on top of the case from the get go! A little affair thrown in from the cheating ex-boyfriend of the dead doctor and you have a nice mess and plenty of people with motives.
It's a great crime/drama book and if you love the hunt and the chase that ensues, read this book to get your thriller fix!

Did I enjoy this book: 100% yes!
Mr. Annechino writes a wonderful murder mystery. He sticks close enough to the formula to make the mystery flow, but spices it up nicely with unique and interesting characters and plots/subplots.
The main character is a detective named, Amaris Dupree. It’s refreshing to see a protagonist in a mystery that’s not old, male, washed-up, or emotionally stunted. She feels like a real person in the story. I love that.
Her partner is equally likable and interesting. I kind of picture him as a young version of L.L. Cool J. Sexy, sensitive, smart, and harboring a secret crush on a very sympathetic main character – doesn’t get any better than that.
As you may have gathered, I’m a sucker for strong character development. But, of course, you have to have a strong story too. I didn’t figure out whodunit until the end, so thumbs up in that area as well.
Would I recommend it: Yes, it’s a quick, easy, entertaining story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this medical thriller! This is the first novel I have read by Daniel M. Annechino and the first medical thriller I have read, but I am definitely interested in checking out more books in this genre! The characters in this book were very well developed and interesting to read about. As for the plot of this novel, it begins with the death of Laura Crawford, a scientist on the verge of developing a treatment for cancer. Detective Dupree and Detective T.J., our main characters, must work to determine if her death was accidental or planned. The novel moves at a fast, action-filled pace, which kept me wanting to read more. The writing style was also amazing throughout this book; Annechino writes characters that are realistic with great background stories, and plots that keep the reader wanting more! I definitely recommend this book if you are interested in medical thrillers and even if you have never read a medical thriller before, I would still recommend checking this book out!

Hypocrisy is a solid detective novel. The plot centers around detectives Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown as they try to figure out who murdered a scientist who was on the verge of discovering a cure for certain forms of cancer. As the investigation unfolds the circumstances around the murder become more and more complicated. Instead of having a difficult time finding suspects, there seems to be quite a few people who could have killed the scientist, whether for personal jealousy or greed over trying to make money from the scientist’s discovery. Then, for Amaris Dupree, the investigation becomes personal when the murderer begins to send her threats as well.
This was a very good detective/crime procedural novel. The author does a great job of bringing the investigation to life and keeping things interesting. He does a good job of letting you into the mind of Amaris Dupree as she thinks her way through the clues and brings the reader into the investigation, which I really liked. His straight forward writing style keeps the story going at a steady pace. I read this pretty fast, definitely kept my interest.

Hypocrisy by D.M. Annechino is a fast-paced, top notch mystery/thriller. The concept of the story is so rich with possibilities, I couldn't wait to see where the author took the story. The characters are strongly developed and I felt I could easily relate with Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown, the two detectives in the case. They're both struggling with serious inner demons, but still work each day to try to stop the bad guys from winning.
I liked the medical aspects to the story as well as the trip into forensics and the work involved in investigating a murder. Once I started reading the story, it was one I didn't want to put down. Maybe it has to do with my interest in criminal justice, plus the fact that the story is entertaining and flows well. I just really enjoyed Hypocrisy by D.M. Annechino, and I definitely want to read his other books! He has a gift for writing a mystery that builds upon itself throughout the book.

Hypocrisy is a really well written crime drama that follows a female homicide detective, Dupree, and her partner TJ on a case in New York. Both main characters are well rounded, have their good quirks and their dark secrets and I became attached to both of them quickly in the book. The murder that they are trying to solve is of a scientist that had been researching a cure for cancer. This topic is such an interesting one that engaged me from the beginning and really makes you think about the many layers of the drug industry and how a cure to cancer would affect it. I will say that Dupree and TJ might have had too easy of a time getting the stories out of all of their culprits, that might have been the only thing that wasn’t totally believable. It was definitely a great read though and I would totally read more books by D.M. Annechino.

I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
Hypocrisy grabbed my interest from the start and never slowed down. It is a good detective murder mystery. It begins with the murder of a brilliant doctor who was about to revolutionize the way some cancers are treated.
The case is given to Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown. They have been partners for a few months and work well together but they don’t know each other personally. They decide to change that during the course of this investigation so, as they get to know each other, the reader learns about them as well. I thought it was a good way to develop the characters and introduce their pasts.
Hypocrisy flows well and is easy to read for the most part. There were times when I got confused about who was talking because a new paragraph wasn’t started when someone new was talking during a conversation.
I definitely recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery.

In this book the author uses his medical knowledge to best effect as the background to a murder. The plot is interesting as Dr Lauren Crawford is murdered just as she has discovered a potential cure for cancer. With the big drug companies about to lose money if this radical treatment goes public, this book is partly a thriller, partly political and partly a cop story.
I especially liked the relationship between the investigators, Dupree and T.J. The rapport between the pair is second to none and it is in this area that the author excels. Each of them has their own secrets and worries about what they bring with them. I enjoyed watching the relationship develop and the repartee blossom. Readers will easily identify with them and enjoy the banter as light relief from the rest of the story.
This book will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good story with realistic characters.

I wish i could give this novel ten stars! I was engaged throughout the entire book. The main characters are detectives Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown. They are put on a case to investigate the murder of a brilliant research scientist, Dr. Crawford, who was on the verge of a treatment for cancer. Hypocrisy has so many twists and turns, and definitely does not disappoint in any way. Dupree and Brown have only been working together for 6 months, but by the end of the book they are an amazing team. As I was reading Hypocrisy I felt like I could see the scenario on Law and Order or CSI, which are two of my favorite tv shows so this book was right up my alley. I wish all crime novels were as captivating as Hypocrisy. Thanks D.M Annechino for an incredible novel!
May 16, 2014
I really enjoyed this book. The author, D.M. Annechino, did an incredible job at keeping the reader guessing at what was going to happen all the way to the very last page. I am an avid reader of anything dealing with medical research and nontraditional healing modalities and have read a lot about Hulda Clark, who is mentioned in this book, which made it especially interesting to me. What I really liked about this book was that it wasn't too complicated to follow. If you love conspiracy theories and murder mysteries, then you will enjoy this book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read a good story that keeps you guessing. I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

A scientist is murdered and no one can figure out why this prominent researcher is dead. She was working on a cancer cure when her life was cut short. At first it was thought to be random but as detectives Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown start investigating all who knew or worked with Dr.Lauren Crawford, they find that it is not as simple as a random killing. The story is suspenseful, intriguing and full of good guys and bad guys. This is a tale of how some entities can stop or prohibit a cure for a most devasting illness, all for money.I loved how, once I started to read the book, I could not put it down. I love a good detective story and one that keeps the readers interest until the end is a good one in my book. I highly recommend it!!

I received this book through Goodreads First Reads.
What a great, fast moving book! I read this in record time. Unfortunately I had to sleep and work, so it took longer than I had wanted.
I loved the well-developed and well rounded characters. I would like to see more books "starring" both Dupree and TJ. The plot moves right along, no drawn-out lapses in the action. It definitely had some surprising twists and turns. I hated for it to end, and would like to see a continuation of the storyline. Being a cancer survivor myself, I had a special interest in this book.
I look forward to reading more of Mr. Annechino's works!

I love a great thriller/mystery book. I love to be on the edge of my seat and wondering what’s going to happen next; so, when I read the excerpt of D. M. Annechino’s book, Hyprocrisy, I was excited to begin reading the novel. However, I did not find the book as thrilling as I had expected. The story line was boring and I could anticipate the next move. But, the development of the two main characters, detectives Amaris Dupree and T.J. Brown, was awesome. I continued to read the book just to find out what was happening with the detectives. Their development and final conclusion to their lives was a great ending to this story.
May 7, 2014
After I finished the last line in this book I set it down and said meh. That isn't a great reaction to have after reading anything. It didn't invoke any afterthought whatsoever. The story itself was like an episode of some bad t.v. show that really has very little basis in reality. I will say that the characters and their charm but over all not a great read. My suggestion for anybody intending to write a book about any subject is to do your homework. The readers will only forgive so much for a nice plot point if the whole idea is laughably inaccurate.
August 30, 2016
Such a great book. This was definitely a page turner. The author did a really great job creating the plot and the characters are well developed. This is one of those books you can't put down because the author keeps you engaged the whole time! I would definitely recommend this book to those who like murder mysteries. I enjoyed it.

This book was a really great read. The characters were really well written and the interactions between he two detectives were a lot of fun. The story moved along at a really good pace and had interesting twists and turns. If you enjoy CSI or other detective shows, then you will definitely love Hypocrisy!

Not as good as the Sammi Rizzo story line. Lacks imagination.
