Get Started On Blood Truth (Rick Cahill, #4) Written By Matt Coyle Available In Leaflet
soon as I finish this review I am looking up every other book in the Rick Cahill series and any writing by author Matt Coyle, This book was amazing!
Yes, it isin a series, but I read as a stand alone without any issues, Rick Cahill is a bad PI and this story begins with two different story lines that seems worlds apart but somehow Matt Coyle tells this story flawlessly and ties everything together.
I don't want to give too much away but Kim, was Rick's exgirlfriend, whom he still has strong feelings for, She is currently married to a huge realtor in the La Jolla, CA area and hires Rick to investigate her husband as she is concerned he is cheating on her.
The second story line involes Rick's father, a police officer who diedyears ago and Rick finding acaliber pistol withbullets missing in the chamber,k cash, and a safety deposit box key in a wall safe in his father's home.
I won't go into anymore detail as I don't want to spoil this amazing story, But, what starts as a simple investigation quickly becomes intense and quite a page turner,
Special thanks to Oceanview Publishing and NetGalley for providing me an advance read copy in exchange for an honest review, """ This is one of the best Rick Cahill's a lot of his history gets tied into this one, and it all falls together right before Rick seems to fall apart.
ha. No spoilers. I won this book at goodreads, com !
This novel is the fourth in the Rick Cahill series, I've found another author and character to love, I WILL read the first three!
Rick is a P, I. out of La Jolla / San Diego, He's long feared the truth about his father, His father, Charlie, was kicked off the La Jolla PDyears ago with suspicions of taking money from the mob in exchange for favors,
Rick finds a hidden safe at his father's old house that holds clues to why Charlie was kicked of the force and then woundup in an early drunken death.
While Rick deals with this a woman
from his past, one he still loves, asks him to find out if her new husband is cheating on her,
He becomes embroiled in shady land deals, corrupt politicians and cops, the Russian mob and more,
Killers who will do anything to protect their secrets are after him,
It's a thrill ride from start to finish!
What I really like in the sitelinkRick Cahill Series , is a perfect pace of the plot.
The author knows EXACTLY how to keep your attention: melancholic quite parts alternate with pure actions at a dizzying speed, It is why I recommend you not to start this book late in the evening if you have a list to do on the next early morning there is a high risk that you'll stay awake and read the whole night through.
And what I REALLY love is of course the main character, a PI Rick Cahill, He is AMAZING, an exemplary model of a lone warrior who has been hit by blows of every kind in his life and yet stays true to himself and his principles, a loyal fighter for justice who is difficult not to fall for.
In sitelinkBlood Truth Rick works on two cases, that represent two parallel storylines that on the first sight have nothing in common, The first one is Ricks private matter related to his long dead father that sheds light on the mystery of his destruction, VERY EMOTIONAL. The other one is a delicate case that he agrees to take only because his exgirlfriend, a woman that he still loves, begged for it, Rick has to find out if her husband is cheating on her, Is it a possibility to get her back Is it THE case that will prove his loyalty
I ENORMOUSLY enjoyed this book, The previous one, sitelinkDark Fissures, my first of sitelinkMatt Coyle, was already good enough, but this one exceed all my expectations,
Matt Coyles series has everything you need to savor: dynamics, great characters, an exciting and emotional plot and very enjoyable writing, It was the bookin the series, and my second in it, I normally dont read series in reverse, but I like this so much, that Im seriously considering to go back to the very beginning and read the first two books that I've missed.
Note: You can read sitelinkBlood Truth as a stand alone,
And if you like a good mystery with a likable character, you really should,

Rick is brought evidence regarding his father, which pushes him into investigating a coldcase that led to his father's dismissal from the police force afteryears of service.
The dismissal caused his father to go into a subsequent downward spiral until his death nine years later, Rick is determined to know the truth about his father, good or bad,
Meanwhile, his investigation into exgirlfriend Kim's husband whom she suspects of having an affair, leads him into places neither one of them expected and gets Rick almost killed several times.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Oceanview Publishing for allowing me to read an earc of this book, All opinions in this review are strictly my own,
I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley to read an review,
BLOOD TRUTH by Matt Coyle is theth book in the Rick Cahill Series the first novel in the series that Ive read to date, and opens with a scene from his childhood playing catch in the yard with his father after hes cut the grass, and after being hit by a ball that takes a bad bounce, his perfectionist and stubborn nature is revealed, along with a glimpse into his fathers qualities and personality.
Rick now an adult is currently running a one man investigation firm specializing in divorce cases, which provides him with a meager existence and lack of respectability in his town of La Jolla along with the cloud of his late fathers past as a dishonorable former policeman who died in the throes of alcoholism after years of shame and depression resulting from his troubled past.
Kim is Ricks exgirlfriend who remarried after he broke it off with her, and she contacts him in an effort to investigate her husband for the possibility of infidelity, pressuring Rick into taking on the case knowing it likely will not end well.
Further added to Ricks plate is his interest in reopening the case that brought shame to his family and tarnished his fathers name based on new evidence in a hidden safe is discovered while renovating is being done by the new owner of the house he grew up in, also opening old wounds much like Kims case.
Moira is an investigator that Rick previously angered by getting a case she wanted to be hired for yet afterwards the two reach a tenuous agreement for her to work with him on cases from time to time.
Rick finds several things on both cases that spell trouble and involving sketchy legalities, corruption, and eventually murder that place Rick and Kim in danger, as well as Kims husband Jeffery.
Will Rick succeed in digging to the bottom of one or both cases without finding himself and the woman he still loves in even more danger, or will it be impossible for him to find the truth in both cases based on the complexity of the current case and time passed in his fathers unsolved mystery
Solid detective novel with a strong emphasis of involvement based on personal relationship and unwavering determination to find truth, this would be a great read for those who enjoy novels involving detectives, police, mobs, and those drawn into circumstances based on others greed.
