A broken down porch and one fatal shot!

But, there is much more to consider before all of the answers are revealed. Flashing back to the author introduces four young men hoping to go out and make some type of a fortune but not in a legal way.

Within this intricate plot the author reveals information or short biographies of each of the men that were involved in the heist to rob the payroll from a shoe factory.

Two elderly guards were driving the armored truck and these four young men thought they could overtake them and get the money. Who was the mystery person in the prologue that apologizes for killing her? Will they ever be mended? Will anyone come forward to help him? Describing the dangers of putting a penny in a fuse box, how fast a fire can ignite and what happens when a town is unprepared for the worst, Broken Promises will not disappoint readers. Would you want wind turbines in your town? What if you would get paid by the company and would make a profit?

Reviews Wanted 11 33 May 29, I like to read a book slowly, digesting and savoring each word. Doug marked it as to-read Feb 19, Will anyone come forward to help him? As Time Goes By. Joe Perrone Jr is a skilled writer, and Gary Kohler did a wonderful job of bringing all the different characters alive.

When promises and dreams are broken and two hearts tattered can they ever be mended and rewound as one? Friendships that are trusted, corruption that runs rather high, the past that winds up punishing some in the present and one woman whose memory will always live on. Aug 24, Cathy Speight rated it really liked it. I especially like crime thrillers with a recurring main character, e. Matt Davies is one such character: In this novel, Matt has to get to the bottom of the tragic murder of a much-loved and well-respected elderly lady. A slightly confused elderly lady, who finds herself in the wrong place at the very wrong time.

Perrone once again pulls off not only combining first and third povs, but present and past tenses. As with Twice Bitten by this author, all loose ends are neatly tied up.

A thoroughly enjoyable book, and I'm a devoted Matt Davis fan. Mar 30, Martha Cheves rated it it was amazing.

Broken Promises - Review by Martha A. As he moves forward, he trips, and suddenly there is a flash of light and a loud crack like a tree being struck by lightning. Maggie feels a dull thud, then a burning pain in the center of her chest; and in just seconds, nothing. She never hears the words the man screams, his voice filled with anguish, "Oh, my God! What have I done? Maggie McFarland was 86 years old. She was dressed in a textured lavender cotton dress with pearl buttons down the front and a high collar trimmed in white lace. The dress falls just above her satin-finish shoes with stacked heels and laces, all dyed in matching lavender.

The dress was tailored to her perfect figure seventy years ago for a very special occasion. Her destination - The Artemis Hotel. Matt Davis is the chief of police of Roscoe, NY. When a call comes in from Nellie, Maggie's granddaughter, saying that she is missing, it doesn't take Matt and his team long to find Maggie's 86 year old body at the Artemis, which was nothing but ruins and had been since its burning in Who would murder a sweet elderly lady like Maggie?

The only thing Matt has to go on is a shell casing found in the rubble. The name Broken Promises fits this book perfectly. The promises, made years earlier, were broken by both Maggie and her Beloved. Matt Davis' problem is that he will never solve the murder until he knows exactly what the promises were and who they were made to.

This was a book I read late into the night. Author Joe Perrone took you into two stories, one of the past and one of the present, as he led you to the ending. I will say that I was just a little surprised when I found out who actually killed Maggie. I will also say that to me the ending was beautiful in a sad way. I love this character - Matt Davis - and I want to read more about him as well as his wife. Here is hoping that the stories will keep coming. Jun 14, Trista Borgwardt rated it it was amazing.
