Review:
I received this book from the author in exchange of an honest review and though this was a very interesting story about mystery, murder and greed.
Dr. Simon Patterson is a respected neurosurgeon who despite being married for 15 years pays little attention to his greedy wife since he’s completely invested in developing an anti-aging vaccine. When he saves the life of a known gangster who offers him a large amount of money his own life changes completely culminating with his wife’s murder and everything indicating he was guilty.
There’s a big cast of characters in this book so it’ll force you to pay attention to what’s happening. One chapter may be about one character and then change to another one so it can be a little complicated to keep track of who you’re reading about sometimes.
This is a great mystery, though. There’s enough suspense to keep the reader interested and wondering what will happen and how the story will end.
There are some great twists in Promise me Eternity that I really enjoyed and, all in all, I really think this is a very good mystery novel that deals with interesting subjects.
I think anyone who likes a good mystery and suspense story will be able to enjoy this one.
Rating: Somewhere Between Readable and Worth Your Time (3 ½ Stars)
