Darra's Review:
This book was fantastic. I usually don't get to read many real mystery books. So this was a breath of fresh air.
The plot was fantastic. The characters were original. I will not lie, I was stressed till the end. Which must explain why I loved the book. It is thought provoking. This is a book that will stick with you. I have memory loss and most books are the same story, different name. Blessed are the Dead will not be one of those.
And the book left me hanging. I have to wait for the next book?! I can't wait!
Enjoy it as much as I did!
