Rating: 3 out of 5

Keith Rommel's newest novel You Killed My Brother is a layered suspense thriller with crime and controversial police work. Rainer is a successful doctor and father of two. He's known for his charity work and involvement in the local community. Brick is a street thug and addict. Glenn, Rainer's younger brother, is a seasoned cop, aiming for revenge as Brick is brought to trial for acts committed against his Glenn's wife Jennifer. When Brick's sentenced only with a lean penalty, Glenn is pissed and eager to act, which of course triggers reactions and therefore guns. The story line wasn't easy to follow along. I read in 3 sessions, but had difficulties getting into the plot again. Every scene or chapter is told form a different perspective, sometimes repeating itself and slowly moving with all kinds of conversations. And then, suddenly there's the action again, faster than a bullet. The transitions could be better, strengthening the power of this worst nightmare scenario.
