FREDERICK
Lee Brooke could be creating a new literary sub-genre – the relationship thriller.
Like all good thrillers, Collateral
Damage crackles along at a merry pace while the reader eagerly awaits the denouement
of Annie Ogden’s entanglements with three men.
The dilemma gets more core concentrated
when Michael is arrested for murder and Salvatore refuses to help investigate, Annie
is forced to try to find the killer herself.
At the same time, Annie’s sister’s
creepy husband, Todd, is making more of an arse of himself than usual.
Annie's problems with these three
obsessive men suddenly pale in significance when she realizes the killer has
set his sights on her.
Changing his mind about helping her,
Salvatore is the only capable of finding the killer before it’s too late.
Frederick Lee Brooke is the author of
the Annie Ogden mystery series, which includes Doing Max Vinyl, Zombie Candy,
and now Collateral Damage.
“This is an intense, can't put down book, that
clearly shows the problems of returning Vets to mainland USA life. Even though
this is primarily a well written mystery book, with P.I.'s at the forefront,
this also shows the reality of PTSD of returning Veterans and the intense
disfunctionality they, and we, have to deal with.”
