A Murder on Jane Street
by Cathy Cash Spellman
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.
Momma Says: 2 stars⭐⭐
I think A Murder on Jane Street is going to be one of those books that isn't for everyone. Those who enjoy stories about conspiracies, hidden agendas, and the like will probably find something here to enjoy. For me, the story was somewhere a little south of okay. It did have potential, but so much of that potential wasn't realized. The book jumps around from character to character a little too often, and the short chapters don't really give time to get a feel for them. It felt scattered and between subplots, several characters, some of whom are a bit flat and underdeveloped, and trips to the past via our victim's diary, it was just all a bit much and failed to completely hold my interest. As I said, I feel like this one isn't a story for everyone, and it clearly missed the mark with me.
