IMMORAL

Brian Freeman
Genre: Mystery
Published: 2005
Personal Rating: 4.5/5
Yearly Count: 32



Freeman's debut mystery is our introduction to police detective Jonathan Stride. The disappearance of a teenaged girl causes Jonathan and his partner Maggie to try and piece together a bunch of loose ends to solve the puzzling case. The storyline keeps you wondering and takes you beyond what you may expect.

Finally! I had this book in my hands several times since it came out - knowing it had potential. I was not disappointed! While I certainly could have done without the s*x scenes, the mystery was executed very well, especially for a newbie. Freeman has already written two three more (Newest Release: September, 2008) in this series, so I look forward to learning more about Jonathan and the cases he encounters.

  5. Joy, I finished Then We Came To The End. Over all, I liked it. That said, it's not a cozy, comfy book by any stretch of the imagination In fact, I was kind of uncomfortable while reading this book. Just not my usual type of book. I do enjoy broadening my horizons, however, so I'm glad I read it. There were parts that made me laugh. Oh, if you're bothered by the F word, this may not be the book for you. Not that I love it, but it seemed kind of natural for the characters who used it. If you read it, let me know what you think.

  7. Mary ~ I checked it out from the library and gave it to DH, so he's reading it now. :) I'm thinking I will be giving it a try. Thanks! As for the "F" word - I don't like it, but I can skim it when reading. I definitely don't like to hear it.
