Synopsis

It looked for all the world like a terrible, tragic accident. Susanna Morgan had gotten up in the middle of the night, tripped, fallen, and broken her neck. Yet when detective Justin Westwood inspects the victim’s apartment, he can’t help noticing that the details don’t quite add up. The glass on the bedside table is knocked over but there are no cuts on her body. The scrape on her knee looks suspiciously fresh. And then a terrified witness comes forward, confirming his worst fear. This is no accident. This is murder. Justin Westwood moved to East End Harbor to escape a dark, disturbing past, and to lead a quiet life. He had retreated from reality by taking a menial post with a small-town Long Island police department, drowning his troubles in mindless traffic duty and lots of booze. Now his dormant professionalism is awakened after Susanna’s brutal murder. This is just the kind of reality check that Justin needs, and he will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of this madness - to find the meaning of the mysterious "Aphrodite" - and maybe save himself in the process.

You can tell this is written by a man, and it's not aged very well (18 years old currently). The plot was good in some places but a lot of the writing was just too cringy for me.......more

Goodreads review by Diana on December 31, 2016

This was a fantastic read....I couldn't put it down for longer than a few minutes without wanting to continue to read the story so I could find out what was really going on.

Goodreads review by Glenn on October 27, 2015

The writing is so bad that it is unintentionally funny at times. But the plot is pretty good and the ending is worth sticking around for. The characters are pretty well drawn, too. Read it at the beach and then give it to some book-starved soul. Or use it to start the barby.......more

Goodreads review by Susan on August 12, 2017

New author for me - started slow but then I could not put it down - it started out as another cop with a terrible history who finds he is still a good detective - the plot is different and very interesting.......more
