Author Susan Russo Anderson weaves a sinister plot through the lives of the innocent and not so innocent in this debut mystery series featuring private investigator Fina Fitzgibbons. What begins as a hunt for a strangler-kidnapper develops into a multi-layered plot that has Fina searching for clues to mysterious deaths and to unexplained events in her own past. No stone is left unturned where this courageous PI is concerned!The characters in Too Quiet in Brooklyn are so vividly described that I felt as if I could see, touch, hear, and smell them. They held my attention in every scene and drove the action forward at a rapid and steady pace. The description of Brooklyn neighborhoods, the New Jersey boardwalk, and the diverse restaurants that Fina frequented give the story a realistic slant. Add Fina’s handsome police boyfriend, a best friend with smarts, opinionated family members, good guys and bad guys, and you have the potential to expand on a thrilling series.Too Quiet in Brooklyn offers a gripping multifaceted plot that comes together and wraps everything up by the end of the story. If you’re a fan of contemporary whodunits, you’ll want to add this riveting book to your to-read list.
