Posted: 28 Jun 2023, 21:56
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Love, Pride & Murder" by Dennis A Feece.]
Thomas Stone is a private investigator who deals with all kinds of cases. A woman named Lucia Nordone brings a case to him. Her fiance, Abraham, is dead, but she doesn't believe his death was simply an accident, as the reports say. She believes there's foul play involved. At first, Thomas hesitates to take up the case, but afterwards, he agrees to investigate it.
Along the way, he experiences a break-in, albeit one that doesn't come cheap; he's offered a secondary job by the government, and he becomes friends with a lieutenant involved in the case. Family secrets are uncovered, alliances are formed, and theories are created. Will Thomas find the person responsible for the death of Abraham? And can he achieve this without losing his life in the process?
Love, Pride, and Murder by Dennis A. Feece is a suspenseful thriller. We are kept hooked as we are introduced to different characters who could serve as the culprits. We are kept guessing as the book progresses. In this story, we explore the themes of friendship, determination, and love. Across each scene, as the investigation builds up, we see unforeseen love relationships budding, sprinkling a little romance into an otherwise fast-paced suspense book. I especially loved how there was no clue pointing to the culprit until the end of the book. I also loved how the book easily flowed with an excellent plot progression. There weren't any loopholes to leave the reader confused, and this made the book all the more enjoyable. Finally, I did not find any errors in this book, which suggests that the book was exceptionally well edited.
However, I was a little concerned with the work ethic of Thomas Stone in relation to his relationship with Miss Lucia Nordone, which made the book feel a bit unrealistic. I also found some scenes unnecessary and irrelevant to the plot of the book, for instance, the scene where various unrelated events occur, which somehow helps Thomas make a break in the case. I found that part quite confusing, even after he explained the process to Miss Lucia Nordone.
To some extent, I enjoyed reading this book. So I will rate it 5 out of 5 stars, considering that my concerns are mostly subjective. If you're someone who loves being kept on their toes and also appreciates a little bit of romance, then this book would be a perfect read for you.
