Murder Comes Home: Classic Detective Action. New Breed Detectives, Book 2
...the second before he touched the knob, something pounded on the door with a force that shook the wall, and the handle fell to the floor. Cool air touched his face as the door opened.
“Run, Bart. Get out!” Connor backed up and went into his fighting stance.
A Latino with slicked-back hair and acne scars stepped through the doorway and looked at him with a who-the-hell-are-you kind of look.
He had seen that empty stare many times in the army. It was the price men paid for getting too comfortable with killing. This guy, he knew, had looked into the eyes of death too often, and it had sucked some of the living out of him.
Connor could not allow this killer to enter a bar filled with innocent, laughing people. He would not move.
The man stepped close and Connor saw a contraction around his eyes, the closest thing to a smile the man had left. He also saw a gun, inches from his chest. But that didn’t matter. Every bit of his awareness was focused on the man’s eyes. It was from there the attack would come. That was where he would read the assassin’s move.
Connor’s entire life was this moment. All his military training, the years of exercise, hand-to-hand combat training, daily sparring, toughening of hands and mind, all boiled down to this second.
While trying to solve a bloody family mystery, and investigating an old, triple homicide, a Private Investigator finds that the Russian mob and the police want him dead. And the Russians are out for the blood of his family too. Where can he turn?

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.
A pair of private eyes get into a mess when one of them films the Russian mob. The mob wants the film, the cops want the film, the FBI wants the film. The film is just part of a plan to avenge the death of a colleague. At the same time, the senile auntie of the pair remembers that she hid a $3.5 million treasure...somewhere, and the boys should find it.
Fast moving with a lot of action.

Twisty thriller
Interesting characters, deftly drawn, combined with an interesting story arc lead to a satisfying read. K.R. Hill provides a thriller that will keep you awake, and saying "hmmm."

I received this in a giveaway. This was a good book, but I think that it could have been better. There was a lot going on and it was hard to keep straight in some places, but it did eventually come together and everything was laid out. You don't really know the characters, and they are not very likeable. Also, for what the background was for some characters, they should have been smarter and planned moves better. The writing did not grab my attention and there were a few mistakes, which could have been why my attention drifted in some places. The point of the story was good.

Murder Comes Home by K. R. Hill is a compelling story about Connor’s life in the military, his training, the years of exercise, hand-to-hand combat training, daily sparring, toughening of hands and mind. The author draws you into the lives of each character. There is plenty of fast pact action and intrigue. Looking for the next book in this series.

The author tells a compelling story with plenty of action and intrigue. Readers will be drawn into the lives of the characters and be inspired to reflect on their own lives and which experiences have instilled lasting impact...negative and positive. A great read!

This is a fun book with great compassion. A PI who is caring for an aunt with dementia. It has terrific action as well. It shows that often as adults we are forced to examine the memories we have of our childhood.
