Yesterday's Echo

A Good Guy

I decided to read this book because I recently got an arc of Blind Vigil which comes out tomorrow and is book seven in the Cahill series. Sometimes when I get an arc of an author, I am unfamiliar with I will go ahead and purchase the first book to see how the character started and where it developed. I will say that if you are not a series type of person these books read as great standalones.
YESTERDAY'S ECHO is a great first novel. The author writes well and knows how to bring a reading audience in, mixing crime, mystery, action, revenge and a host of emotions into the pot to simmer and boil. He does not just drop hints to his mystery along the way, he grows them so the reader can pluck them up at the appropriate time. Rick Cahill is an engaging protagonist. If you prefer your heroes to be squeaky clean, he's probably not for you, but if you like your main characters to live with their flaws and take life on at their level best, then I suggest you read this book. It is character driven, but the plot is intricately woven, and will not let you down for the read. I am looking to see how the story develops. I am curious to see which characters remain in the story as I continue to finish book six and how it progresses all together. I will for sure be reading the books in between the first and the sixth. A very compelling read.
