Nothing to Hide Book Review

Nothing to Hide (A Roland March Mystery) by J. Mark Bertrand was my next book from Bethany House Publishers that I got to choose.  It seemed drastically different from the lat two that I read so it seemed like a great choice.

Although this is the first book that I have read from the author, J. Mark Bertrand, I was instantly interested in his writing style.  The writing in this book reminds me of Robert Parker who wrote the Jesse Stone series and lots of others.  The language was very flowery and detailed to start out the book.  I was quickly engrossed in the book and couldn't put it down.  The characters are wonderful and the plot was full of twists and turns.

The main character is Roland March, a police detective, who is working on a case where there is a headless corpse in a park.  Dedicated to right and wrong, he continues on the case even after suspension from a shooting in the line of duty.  Not knowing who to trust, he has many different groups of people helping him to put together the pieces including the Houston police, FBI, and possible CIA working to clear his name and do the right thing.  The great thing is that this book covers not only his work life but including his home life with wife and friends.  It seems to be a little more realistic view of the detective's complete life so that you understand his motivations.

I don't want to ruin the mystery but check it out for yourself!!!  I can't wait to read some other books by this author!!  Going to add them to my list of books to find at the library next starting at the beginning of this series and working my way through as long as the author keeps writing this series :) I hope that you all check it out at your local library or bookstore!!
