Good Man Gone

By Peter McPhie

'It's not every day that a good man sets a killing in motion. But sometimes in a life there are desperate times and those times can be answered only with desperate measures'.
Chester has a serious problem. Tender-hearted and utterly devoted to his wife, he's convinced she will soon leave him in search of another and take their young daughter.
Desperation overcomes him.
But how far will he go? A whole lot farther than you would ever think. Really.
A tidy plan. A highly unusual killing.
A quirky romantic suspense thriller that's both light and dark. A tale of love dangerously on the edge.
Sometimes humorous, sometimes sentimental, sometimes chilling, sometimes high action. But always intriguing.
Unpredictable twists you just won't see coming.
Kirkus Reviews says, 'a masterful job of suspense...Intelligent characterizations elevate the story, as does the twisty plot...keeps readers guessing until the end...An entertaining, well-written, and smart crime tale: An excellent read.'
Reviews by readers say:
'You think you know what's happening, but you don't!'
'Not your typical suspense story.'
'A smart, suspenseful crime drama involving a hit man, a dastardly plot, a serial killer, crime-solving, marital mistrust, as well as emotionally textured characters.'
'Never read anything quite like this before'.
The book says 'never underestimate the obvious' and I did just that because it's not what you think.'
'Wow! What a fun read! Surprises galore...kept me guessing, and guessing wrong...a very clever book'.
'This book was full of surprises. As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, I did not guess the twists until they were right in front of me'.
'It's very clever. Things aren't what they seem. When you think you know what's coming, you'll be shocked!'
'I loved this book! I read a lot of thrillers and did not see the twists coming.'
'You're kept on the edge of your seat wondering how Chester will get out of the mess he finds himself in. And a great twist at the end.'
'An unexpected mystery with surprising twists and developed characters.'
'Get ready for a thrilling ride, an intriguing mystery. You won't see it coming.'
'Twists and turns that lead to a totally unexpected ending.'
'The suspense builds as the story unfolds.'
'Blew me away at the end.'
