Broken Trust: A Gripping Murder Mystery
A GRIPPING MURDER MYSTERY
Broken Trust is an absolutely gripping murder mystery guaranteed to hold you captive.
Detective John Watson longs for a change of pace in his career. The seemingly endless stream of mundane, run of the mill divorce cases have sullied his motivation for the job he once couldn’t imagine living without. Watson aches for excitement – where are the Mafia hits, the gangster rivals and the serial killers he always dreamt of catching?
Watson is at a cross-roads. Give up his passion for crime, continue stalking wayward husbands for angry wives or give it all up for a steady paycheck elsewhere?
Mrs. Olivia Shapiro’s case is just the elixir he needs to turn his life around. As fate would have it, Olivia’s husband, James is a missing person. The key objective is that he must be found. Or so it seems.
Detective Watson soon realizes this simple case is not so simple after all. Just when he thinks the kidnapping mystery is solved…a new twist enters the mix. Questions and answers swirl within a web of deceit, it’s his job to decipher who is telling the truth and what is a ghost-chase. As he moves deeper into a family’s past, Watson finds himself entrapped in a much larger conspiracy than he ever dreamt he’d investigate. Why is James Shapiro really missing?
Detective John Watson is the cool, calm, and collected hero of Broken Trust. Putting his career on the line, he doesn’t pull any punches, searching only for the truth. Intelligent, resourceful, and uncompromising, he will take readers on a memorable, white-knuckled journey in this suspenseful, gripping murder mystery with a shocking twist.

The last thing in the book was a request from the author to post a review. I'm not sure that's such a positive for him/her in this case. I very seldom write a completely negative review, but I have several quibbles about this book. First, the dialog is very stilted and doesn't sound realistic, and there's a lot of dialog! Second, the main character's description is distinctly odd: he doesn't know how to interact with people, he gets angry and throws a coffee cup at the wall but he's not violent, he doesn't seem to have an adult relationship with women, etc. Third, there are some plain old mistakes in vocabulary, "queue" for "cue" and the like. Finally, this is not a complete book. It stops in the middle of the story. When I see a trilogy, I expect at least some sort of wrapping up of a story line with other plot lines to follow in the subsequent volumes. This just stops, practically mid-sentence. The good news is at least I didn't pay for it. I guess this is a case of you get what you pay for.

I can't say as if I really liked this book but I did not hate it either. I found it slow moving and did not keep me entertained as much as I would have liked.
