Another 5 STAR REVIEW by Brian Hayden for "Secrets in the Shallows"



Thank you Brian Hayden for such an awesome 5-STAR Review for our book "Secrets in the Shallows." We are honored to have so many people that have enjoyed our book so thoroughly.
Brian M. Hayden writes this on his blog:
“'The Monastery Murders – Book 1 – Secrets in the Shallows' is not the type of book I usually read. But I decided months ago to write reviews. So, the time was right to expand my horizons. And expand them I did. This was the perfect book for me to break into murder mysteries. ”Secrets in the Shallows” is skillfully written to keep the reader off balance. Try as you may, you won’t be able to guess what happens next. The story keeps you guessing all the way through.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Secrets in the Shallows'. Our author’s, through their descriptive writing and storytelling skills brings the reader along for a suspenseful and entertaining ride. I strongly recommend this book for anyone out for a sitting on the edge of your seat read."

_________________________________
Adrenalin pulsed through the attacker’s veins as the ropes encircling Tom Green’s neck went taunt. Power over the victim was like an addictive drug to the would-be killer. Each pull on the rope rubbed the victim’s neck raw and crushed his airway. An intense emotional rush filled the assailant with momentary satisfaction and supreme elation born from control over life and death.
The long sleeves of a habit's robe flared back with each yank, as the victim desperately tried to break free. Straining to hold Tom captive until he passed out, the attacker held a firm control. “You just had to run your big mouth, didn’t you?”
Tom’s unconscious body fell limply on the ground, still entangled in the rope. Shadows from the surrounding trees parted just enough for the pale early moonlight to shine on him. Standing there and quietly smiling, the attacker glanced over the sprawled victim for several seconds, before casting the rope aside.
