Bryan's Bluff

A Pulse-Pounding Mystery Thriller Debut

The most dangerous enemy is the one hiding in plain sight.

When the mysterious death of a childhood friend forces homicide detective Alex Abrams to return to her hometown, she’s pulled back into a world of dark secrets and painful memories she thought she’d left behind. Alex, a battle-hardened Iraq War veteran, is forced to confront the ghosts of her past—and the deadly truth lurking in the shadows of her tight-knit community.

Teaming up with her twin brother, Lucca, Alex soon uncovers a chilling pattern of so-called "accidental" deaths—each one more calculated and chilling than the last. But as the body count rises, Alex realizes they’re not dealing with a simple string of tragedies; someone is orchestrating these deaths with a deadly precision.

The closer Alex gets to the truth, the more personal the stakes become. A ruthless psychopath is hell-bent on tearing her world apart, and her brother may be next on the killer’s list. With every step, Alex faces a race against time to stop a monster who’s always one step ahead.

Will Alex uncover the killer before it’s too late, or will the twisted secrets of her hometown claim her—and her brother—forever?

In Bryan’s Bluff, debut author CD Sharpe delivers a heart-stopping, unforgettable mystery thriller filled with betrayal, small-town secrets, and a heroine with everything to lose.

decent, but has its issues

I got a free version as a promotion. The story while in the shorter side had parts that were difficult to follow. I still can't figure out if the author was trying to alluded to three different people being the kill and I just honed in on the correct person asap or if the other guys were meant to be that stilted. I kind nd of expect one of them to be the killer in the next one.

Great listen

amazingly written and perfect narration. Great look at ptsd from both veterans and loved ones point of view. story line keeps you engaged and wondering. Great book.

The end left me wanting more.

Listening to the novel left me wondering who was speaking sometimes. I felt as if I missed something or drifted off and didn’t pay attention. I was pretty sold that this wasn’t the series for me, until the last few sentences. I’m eager to hear more.

I’m curious how the storyline will progress.

I Am A Good Swimmer Who Drowned in Bryan's Bluff

I enjoyed Bryan's Bluff much more than I expected. Character drama strengths help a murder mystery along. The writer seems to be having fun with things and the plot gives a structure to hanging out with Alex, her twin brother, and crew through their past trauma and current hangups. While it is a book about a surprising number of deaths it is also first a book about people. I really liked the breezy vibe of the social circles. The murder mystery stuff helped lend a gravity to things. Sometimes the mystery plot seemed to proceed too easily, that the hero happened to see a somewhat obvious discrepancy no one else found but thankfully that's really not the focus for suspense (since it's an after the fact investigation). There is a military culture vibe that gives some character to people here but seems like it may be more important in future books. I am looking forward to Cooper's Creek.

Good short listen

Nothing super amazing or super bad average overall enjoyable short listen not credit worthy but it’s ok.
