When Uncle Mike died, Seamus returns to Boston. Uncle Mike was murdered, so that doesn’t really sit too well with Seamus. Seamus is the executor of his uncle’s estate and that really isn’t the problem. The problem is what Uncle Mike left that no one knew about…well very few knew of. Now the one who killed Uncle Mike is after Seamus and his family! Seamus has to go through years of lies and things that go clear back to his father’s death. Can he solve the mystery and keep everyone alive? You will need to read the book to find out. Wonderful story!!! I enjoyed it very much! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
When the going gets tough, Seamus McCree keeps going!
In False Bottom, a grieving Seamus McCree must settle the estate of a murdered man who’d been a second father to him. If it wasn’t enough to have rogue ex-cops and a hit man circling their every move, Seamus, his son, and his mother keep company with their own dangerous secrets. His long-lost sister surfaces, still at odds with his mother, and their conflict adds to the powder keg of family drama. Introspective at times, action-packed at others—what more could you ask of a mystery novel?
False Bottom is Book 6 of the Seamus McCree series. First off, let me say I have loved this character from Book 1. He’s a great investigator, a little tough when he needs to be, yet caring when it’s called for. Combined with all of this, he is really and truly a good man. Seamus has had some real difficulties in his life in this book. Deaths of people close to him and a lot of surprises; some good and some bad. This is a different Seamus emotionally. Did I still like him? You betcha.
Each of Jackson’s characters seems to become a little deeper and even a little more well-known to the reader this time. It’s as if the whole extended family is a little more involved. I have them each pictured in my mind…the funny, bossy mother, his handsome son, even the nosy next-door neighbor who saves the day more than once. I think all of this is a little more vivid this time because of the emotional settings in this story. Don’t get me wrong. This is still the rough and tough Seamus McCree that Jackson writes about but there’s a touch of sadness this time. Maybe it’s because the story itself brings out the realization of times to come in all our lives.
And then we have Jackson’s writing. A well put together book with a story that flows so well. There were some twists and turns that almost had me throwing my hands up in the air thinking “what now”. Then I realized Jackson’s writing had got me going again. That is after all an author’s job isn’t it? Moving the reader.
I was fortunate (no fortunate is not the proper word) I was as LUCKY as can be to be given an ARC and you can be guaranteed that all opinions are definitely my own.
Jackson has put together a continuing storyline and a book that can be read as a stand alone although you’d be foolish to miss any of the series. Hope I don’t have to wait long for Book 7.
