A BODY GUARD TO
REMEMBER. (Book 1, Men in Uniform)
By: Alison Bruce.
Lachesis
Publishing. 2015 $4.99
Nothing like a great opening line to set the hook: “It
started with a dead body on my living room floor.” And from there A Body Guard to Remember is a catch worth reading with a lively mix of colourful characters,
murder, indeed on a living room floor, cops, protectors in various good looking
postures, a plot with a neat climax twist and budding romance…right here in
Canada’s capital.
Bruce’s grasp of partnering two genres into one well-paced
novel is well known and is as sharp as never in A Body Guard to Remember.
Action, quick and forceful, action, gentle and affirming, add a plot worthy of
a seasoned crime writer and a supporting cast with struggles and dreams galore
makes for a, I’ll just read a bit more,” and you’ll find as I did, you can’t
put it down.
If A Body Guard to Remember is book one, Men in Uniform, I
can’t wait to read book 2.
