We both leaned against the old house, peeling paint digging into my arms as I a glanced into the window.
She was there!
Raising her gun toward the Sheriff, she took careful aim as a maniacal sneer formed on her lips.
“You disgust me,” she snarled with unbounded rage. Throwing her head back suddenly, she let loose a loud, evil laugh, straight from the bowels of hell.
“At least this way, I get to personally witness your last breath,” she grinned as she cocked her gun. “Quite the consolation prize, I assure you.”
I glanced over at Frank, who nodded as he tensed himself to break through the door. Cocking my own weapon, I knew that this was the moment…capture or kill, this all ended now.
“I damn you to Hell Sheriff,” she shouted next, “You should feel right at home there.”
Frank burst through the door with me close behind…I had no way of knowing that this would be the moment that changed my life…forever!

Murder! Too Close To Home The Adventures of Gabriel Celtic Book 1 eBook JT Lewis
Nice whodunit set in southern Indiana, with a good mix of characters. I must admit I had the 'mystery' all figured out about 15% in, not only the 'who' but the motive as well. Although this definitely has a 'first novel' feel to it, there are enough good things that kept me reading. But I would be remiss if I didn't point out some of the things that just had me shaking my head.First, we're never told the age of Gabriel (or perhaps I missed it). Sometimes he acted as though he was in his 60's, other times in his 40's, and other times as though he was in his 20's.
Secondly, the repeated overuse of superfluous adjectives upon seeing his wife was downright embarrassing. Every single time Betty was mentioned we were deluged with a plethora of over-the-top accolades of adoration. Those assorted paragraphs read as if they were written by someone else, as the writing style simply did not fit in with the rest of the writing throughout the book.
Thirdly, coffee. Coffee, coffee, coffee. The word coffee shows up no less than 80 times in a 250 page book, averaging out to once every three pages as we were reminded of Gabriel's love of coffee. For some reason, the author felt the need to let us know each and every time Gabriel stopped and got himself a cup. Which was pretty much every time he stood up.
Unfortunately too much filler like that pollutes this book, such as when the author spends almost four full pages describing the breakfast Gabriel is making for that super-duper, awesomely intelligent, wonderfully beautiful, sparkly-eyed wife of his. Moving along, not only is this book chock-full of misused homophones (i.e. 'grizzly' scene instead of 'grisly'), but there are numerous other glaring 'oops' as well. A few examples...Glocks do not have a safety, front-wheel drive cars do not 'fishtail', and the time when the officer couldn't figure out by himself that there are no thorn bushes in the middle of a paved road.
Now, despite all my petty annoyances listed above, I readily admit I really liked the story and the characters, and wanted to finish reading this book. Truth be told, the ending of this book stunned me by how emotional and powerful the writing was. Even though it sets the stage for book #2, there is enough closure to provide a satisfactory conclusion to book #1. My overall feeling is that underneath all the awkward clutter, there is something good happening here, and I still feel it's worth at least three stars. With a real editor, more proofreading, and less picturesque speech, this book would be very good.

Murder! Too Close To Home The Adventures of Gabriel Celtic Book 1 eBook JT Lewis Reviews
My first encounter with this novelist and definitely worth the read. The plot was interesting and held interest although some of the end outcomes were predictable. However, the story was well paced, the characters could have been better developed to help understand their motivations but overall not bad. I am definitely plan to read the next book in the series, Gabriel's Revenge.
It was a book that kept your attention to beginning to end . It was great !ove affair that let you empty in the end. It do keep you guessing and HD a surprise ending.I guess the ending brought it to code to home. It told you how he felt
I recommend that e everyone read this book. I won't give you any other information other than you will really enjoy it.
This book was well written and captured my attention and emotions equally. I downloaded this some time ago cause it was free. However, I enjoyed it so much I am happy to pay for the 2nd book in the series.
I gave this book a five even though it needed some editing. I was surprised at the love story between Gabe and Betty. Most detective stories have the lead character either divorced or on the verge of a divorce.. This book kept my attention all the way to the end. I really didn't figure it out til the end. It caught me by surprise.
The book was a wonderful read, unique and intriguing. How Betty and Gabe lived there lives and all the love they shared with each other. How his dreams added to their clues. How he and Frank worked together, how all of the team worked together. How they found the killer and Jane had blinded everyone of who she really was. It is a shame that Dear Betty had to die. I would recommend the book to everyone gray and gratifying book.
I didn't realize that I had both books 1 and 2 so I ended up reading book 2 first which was great and then I found book 1 so I then read that one and it was just as great as the first one. I love how the suspense starts right in the beginning and through the both the characters are introduced and not at the beginning where when you get to that charater you can't remember what part they play in it. I will try to continue with this series because it great!!!
