ABOUT THE BOOK
A brutal murder.
A heinous secret.
A deadly conspiracy.
The brutal murder of the little old lady next door puts FitzHugh Donovan on the case. A retired New York City Police Chief, he knows a cover-up when he sees one and his Irish Cop conscience can’t let that happen.
Now, Fitz, his family and his quirky band of Bleecker Street Irregulars are ensnared in the bizarre secret the woman died to protect.
Is this a cold case turned hot again, or an unspeakable conspiracy that could alter the course of history?
Fitz doesn’t yet know how high the stakes are, that failure isn’t an option, and that the little old lady was so much more than she appeared. But he’s trying to keep everyone alive long enough to find out.
Characters you’ll care about, dark shocking secrets, and disturbing similarities to today’s political scene, will keep you turning pages to an ending you won’t see coming.
MY REVIEW
This book follows the story of retired New York City Police Chief, FitzHugh Donovan, who is thrust into a murder investigation involving his neighbor lady. As Fitz delves deeper into the investigation, he realizes that there is a lot more to the case than meets the eye. The little old lady had a dark and shocking secret that she was willing to die to protect. Fitz, his family, and his quirky band of Bleecker Street Irregulars are soon ensnared in the bizarre conspiracy that the woman was trying to keep hidden.
The characters in the book are ones that you will truly care about. Fitz is a man with a conscience, and his determination to uncover the truth makes him a hero that readers will root for. The Bleecker Street Irregulars are a group of misfits that add a unique flavor to the story, and their interactions with each other and with Fitz make for some very entertaining moments.
The book is fast-paced and the plot twists keep coming until the very end. The author does an excellent job of keeping the reader guessing with a shocking ending.
If you are a fan of crime fiction, then Murder on Jane Street is a must-read. The characters are engaging, the plot is gripping, and the themes are thought-provoking.
Thank you to Ms. Spellman and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to review this book without expectation of a positive review.
