Sean must have been through a lot of trauma, losing his partner. I wonder what the serial killer had in mind.
I would also like to know the role played by Kayleigh in this intriguing story.
Congrats on the BOTD.

After a temperamental meltdown on stage, Sean Hightower, a regretful and resentful “one-hit wonder” rock musician hoping for a comeback, returns to his girlfriend’s condo seeking comfort from the woman he loves. But after letting himself in, he discovers her naked body on the bed, murdered from a bullet to the head. When the police detective arrives and sees the two taped pieces of paper on the wall with the word, “hello,” on one and “goodbye,” on the other, he realizes that the renowned serial killer, The Beatles Song Murderer, has struck again. In the days that follow, he reaches another conclusion—the Beatles Song Murderer is probably somebody Sean knows. Now the detective needs Sean’s help to find the killer.

Does the book deal with issues such as purpose and meaning in life? The amazing characters in this thriller engage and attract. How does Sean, the main character, find true friendship in the midst of a painful and intriguing journey?

"You Say Goodbye" by Keith Steinbaun is a suspense-filled murder mystery novel. I wonder why anyone will murder Sean's lover, knowing that he treasures her. I hope Sean was not hurt in the process of trying to unveil the culprit. Congrats to the author on BOTD. Beautiful review.

A musician character, a crime novel with action, mystery is so exciting, but at the same time is a little sad because he wasn't a recognize artist but he found love and that is a bless, just the reading journey keeps you alert and awake to every details of the ongoing plot. I recommend the book to everyone specially the lovers of crime and suspense.

“You Say Goodbye” by Keith Steinbaum is a fictional murder mystery and heartbreaking story. The main character is Sean Hightower, a one-hit wonder rocker who battles depression. His inspiration was Melissa, the love of his life. He came home one day and found Melissa with a bullet in her head and Sean began to lose the will to live. He met a woman named Kayleigh that was battling cancer and this gave him the determination to find Melissa’s killer. There are many interesting characters and this is a very good read.

This is a mystery that would snap Sean back to reality. I wonder what role Kayleigh would play in all these though. Congrats on BOTD!

Upon reading an honest review, I found myself immersed in a mysterious and suspicious situation. It evoked a deep sense of sorrow for musician Sean, who tragically lost his beloved Merissa in a suspenseful murder case. As someone who enjoys enigmatic and thrilling books, I highly recommend "You Say Goodbye" by Keith Steinbaum, the author of this gripping novel.
