Kiss It goodbye book review

“John Wessel’s Kiss It Goodbye is tense and
atmospheric, fueled by the sort of suspense that will
make you suspect the shadows outside your windows
and sleep with the lights on.” Jan Burke couldn’t be
more accurate in her description of John Wessel’s third
novel. This book was a thriller from the start. It’s a very
complex book, yet it’s not very hard to follow along. With
as many characters as this mystery contains, you’re left
guessing until the last possible moment of who the
actual culprit is. And at the very moment that you
eliminate someone as the murderer, the next page
shows you clues that make you think twice.
Harding, an ex-con with amazing PI skills finds himself
wound up in a murder case when a cop blackmails him
into doing the dirty work in the case of the murder of a
young girl, Tracy. Harding’s girlfriend, Allison, is deeply
disturbed at the sight of the remains of her one time
best friend. When a drug dealer is found murdered,
and a groom turns up missing, things don’t look very
good for the groom. Using his PI skills and friends
from his jail days, Harding is able to skirt around the
law in order to find clues that the police would
otherwise be helpless without.
As the body count raises, Harding’s witnesses are
assaulted, and Allison herself is threatened, this ex-con
finds himself in a time crunch to solve the mystery
before another is killed.
