Candace wanted her prince. Chester wanted to fill that role for her. From the day that they met, soft-spoken and kind Chester was sure that Candace was out of his league. Beautiful but haunted by a difficult foster home childhood, Candace was never fully satisfied with her life. She longed for a prince to rescue her, to show his full devotion and love. Candace is often distant and unhappy and Chester worries she will leave him. So, Chester does the extraordinary…he hires a hitman and sets himself up as the hero who will save Candace. Taking full advantage of a serial killer working in the area that Chester and Candace head to on vacation, Chester sets up the hit to make it look like the serial killer has struck again. You’re kept on the edge of your seat, wondering how Chester will get out of the mess he finds himself in, and whether Candace will support her hero. This is a well-written, interesting, and entertaining read! Peter McPhie does an excellent job of creating a crime story that keeps mounting in tension, and with a great twist at the end! I received a giveaway copy of the novel and am happy to leave this voluntary review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
'It's not every day that a good man sets a killing in motion.'So begins this tale.Chester has a serious problem. Tender-hearted and utterly devoted to his beautiful wife, he's convinced she will soon leave him and take their young daughter. It's a prospect he can't live with. Desperation overcomes him. But how far will he go? Well, a whole lot farther than you would ever think, and you have a good imagination.A tidy plan. A very unusual murder.But...as Kirkus Reviews warns, 'on several levels, all is not as it seems.'Sometimes funny. Sometimes dark. Always intriguing.No only a suspense thriller, but a tale of love dangerously at the brink.Kirkus Reviews says, '...a masterful job of building suspense...Intelligent characterizations elevate the story, as does the twisty plot...keeps readers guessing until the end...An entertaining, well-written, and smart crime tale: An excellent read.'Reviews by readers: 'You think you know what's happening, but you don't!''Not your typical suspense story.''A unique story'.'Never read anything quite like this before'.'A smart, suspenseful crime drama involving a hit man, a dastardly plot, a serial killer, crime-solving, marital mistrust, as well as emotionally textured characters.'The book says 'never underestimate the obvious' and I did just that because it's not what you think.''Wow! What a fun read! Surprises galore...kept me guessing, and guessing wrong...a very clever book'.'This book was full of surprises. As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, I did not guess the twists until they were right in front of me'.'It's very clever. Things aren't what they seem. When you think you know what's coming, you'll be shocked!''I loved this book! I read a lot of thrillers and did not see the twists coming.''You're kept on the edge of your seat wondering how Chester will get out of the mess he finds himself in. A well-written, interesting, and entertaining read. And a great twist at the end.' No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Chester is the "good man" of the title. Unassuming, good-hearted, hard-working, he falls head over heels with Candace, who is a bit of a lost soul and in need of a prince to rescue her. "Ches" is no prince, but he rescues Candace, and believes he has found his happy ever after. Candace may have other ideas....
The storytelling is solid and suspenseful, with some nice twists all the way to the end. The book requires some suspension of disbelief at some character motivations and "coincidental" plot points, but such is fiction. ( )
