Back on Murder

Short Review: I am not really a fan of Christian fiction. But I also read very little Christian fiction. I finally got around to reading this after several people I know recommend it as a book for people that don't like Christian fiction. I started on the audiobook, which is a bit scholocky. The narrator was just the wrong choice for the character. It is not that he did a bad job, he was just the wrong choice.

I ended up finishing the book on kindle and it was a much better option. Roland March is a Houston police homicide detective who has seen better days. After an event (that isn't disclosed until near the end of the book) March lost his mojo. He is kept around mostly because he used to be a great detective. After getting bounced around from assignment to assignment he realized that these different cases were actually all related and that revelation, and his desire to get back in the real game, got him working.

In the end the crime is solved and March finds some healing. This is the first of a trilogy and I will probably pick up the later books soon. In the end this is still a Christian novel, but it is not a hit you over the head with the gospel novel or an ‘all things work out good for those that follow the Lord' novel. It is a more complicated and realistic story than that. There are still some point I would change (so 4 rather than 5 stars) but it is worth reading.
