Promise Me EternityIan FoxKindle EditionMystery; Suspense; Thriller5 StarsPromise Me Eternity is one of those novels that I found hard to put down. Not only is it filled with suspense, but greed, jealousy, affairs and murder. They say that the love of money is the root of all evil and that is surely portrayed to the fullest in this book.  With a cast of many characters one will have to start to think when they are reading and watch for clues.Dr. Simon Patterson is a well known and respected neurosurgeon in Oregon. Although he has been married for 15 years they have no children. In all actuality he is married to his work, not the surgery but trying to develop an anti aging vaccine, which in turn takes time away from his wife.  His wife on the other hand is a money hungry woman that wants the best of everything, clothes, cars vacations and more. When Simon saves the life of a Carlo Vucci a known gangster little does he know how is life is about to change. Accepting a dinner invitation Carlo offers him a check for Fifty Thousand dollars. When Simon turns it down, his wife hits the panic button and Carlo's wonders, No one has ever turned down his money.Now the problems begin, Simon's wife is going out, acting strange, Carlo's wife is making a play for Simon and his associate is trying to take over his job and that's just the beginning of his nightmare. His wife is murdered and all clues point to Simon. When Carlo's wife Christine says she will help prove his innocence and say that he was with her, there was only one problem, her husband. When Carlo ends up dead after a fight with Simon, Christine confidently changes her mind about Simon. Can Simon prove he is innocent? Were they out to kill Helen Simon's wife or did they make a mistake? As the neighbors confide will they be the straw that helps Simon get free or be condemned?There are more twists and turns in this novel that will keep you wondering throughout. There are quite a few different characters and the chapters may be about one character and then change to someone else. At times unless I kept my mind on whom I was reading about at the time I would lose track and would back track to see which one I was reading about. All in all this is a great mystery with plenty of suspense which leaves one wondering just how the story is going to end. Recommended for those who like a strong suspenseful mystery with occasional hints at sexual activity but nothing heavily sensual or erotic and no coarse language.I received this complementary copy from the author. A positive review was not required and all opinions  expresses her on my own views of the novel.
