Well, it's been long since I delved into investigative stories especially with not one but two murder victims.
I bet it's thrilling to take the journey especially where the suspect is an immediate family member. Very eerie though to imagine the culprit can be an underage child.

Dora Gravnick steals the show! Her character sounds dynamic and adds a unique touch. The author's use of alternate chapters for character backgrounds is clever. The engaging plot, despite grammatical issues, makes me keen to delve into the twists and turns of Gravnick.

Gravnick by Bob Herpe is a really interesting detective novel. It shows us how a police officer of the same name must solve a double murder while detailing the story of how he grew up and became a law enforcement officer. Furthermore, it is quite easy to imagine every detail thanks to the author's way of writing, which is simply brilliant.
