A review by ashleyfuhr
Back on Murder by J. Mark Bertrand

4.0

This book took a while to get into. It wasn't written in a tone that I normally read, so it threw me off a bit in the beginning. I started off hating Roland March and his piss poor attitude. I almost thought about putting this book down, but suddenly I was captivated. I think it was probably more by the progression of the story than the character, but as time passed I found myself understanding March and even enjoying his character. I think Bertrand did an excellent job of developing March. He was 100% real. Real thoughts, real struggles, real wounds. When I put the book down I felt like I knew March better than he knew himself, and I can't wait to read the next 2 installments of this series. The story line was gripping and kept you wanting to find out more. As pieces began to unfold you knew the final outcome, but had no idea how it was possibly going to get there. Chapter 1, I thought I would have an awful review for this book, if I finished it at all. Fast forward to Chapter 30, and I am excited to pick up Pattern of Wounds!
