Wow, thumbs up for Matt Coyle! YESTERDAY'S ECHO is the
first book that
he has ever written. I have to say, I can't wait for the
next one.
Matt Coyle's story line has suspense, romance, mystery and
friendship. From the first page I was hooked. The other
item that I really liked is that there is a Black Lab in the
book named Midnight. I have a black lab, so I was very
happy about that. I was right there in this book. Even
though the main character is a man, you could have just
changed the name and it could have been a woman.
Meet Rick Cahill, a former policeman. Rick is off the
force as he was once a suspect in his wife's murder. He
is now a part owner of a restaurant. Or he at least thinks
that he is. He meets a woman named Melody and the mystery
begins. Just when Rick feels that he is changing his life,
something else comes up. We also meet Turk. He and Turk
run the restaurant together. Turk also has some things that
he is hiding. It also shows us how even though you and
your best friend fight. In the end, no matter what, you
will always be there for your friend.
Matt Coyle gets you right into the story from the very
first page. His descriptions whether he is talking about
the restaurant business or being a cop, bring you right
into the story. Some of the story reminds me of the old
movies black and white PI movies. The PI
always takes and a case and than has to dodge the gangster.
Matt Coyle is going to give some of the mystery writers a
run for their money. His writing reminds me of something
James Patterson would write. I am hoping that in his next
book we will continue to see the main character be Rick
Cahill. I do like when authors bring the main character
back.
Rick Cahill was never convicted of his wife's murder, but he
was never exonerated either. Not by the police. Not by the
media. Not even by himself. Eight years later, police
suspicion and his own guilt remain over his responsibility
in his wife's death.
When he meets Melody Malana, a
beautiful yet secretive TV reporter, he sees a chance to
love again. When she is arrested for murder and asks Rick
for help, the former cop says no, but the rest of him says
yes and he grasps at a chance for redemption. But Rick's
attempt to help turns terribly wrong, and he becomes a
suspect in the murder and the target of a police manhunt.
On
the run, Rick encounters desperate people who'll kill to
keep their pasts buried. Before Rick can save himself and
bring down a murderer, he must confront the truth about his
own past and untangle his feeling for a woman he can never
fully trust.
