"Murder 8", by Brian Shea


Nick Lawrence #5

This book has an awesome story filled of action, suspense and is quite entertaining. Mr. Shea gave us a great story very relevant in today’s age.....opioids and the dangers of fentanyl. In addition to following the law enforcement coming down hard on the rampant drug rings that is plaguing the streets of Massachusetts the author gives us a captivating spin into the corruption that is rampant everywhere.

Nick Lawrence and the Valhalla Groups are tasks with taking down the distribution network but when they were about to make a bust, things go south. The drama started when the daughter of Senator Buzz Litchfield overdosed and he wanted revenge....tension galore from then on. The plot is good and moves along at a steady pace, I also like the characterisation: Declan, Nick, Mouse and Jay are depicted with care, although without having read the previous books it was harder to relate to them. It may be recommended to start with the previous books first.

Who doesn’t love crooked politicians? And what a joy when they get what they deserve.

This novel is not taxing, it is short and sweet and is one to zipped through it in no time.

“Murder 8” is a pretty good read I enjoyed passing time with.
