An Innocent Murdered is one of the best mystery novels I have ever read. You had me going there trying to figure out who the real murdered was. And you certainly added a great twist to the story by adding an unexpected second murder that helped solve the case of the priest’s slaying. Great job! Five Stars!!

An Innocent Murdered by Tom Mach is 191 pages, packed with unexpected twists and excitement.  The hero, Detective Matt Gunnison, is propelled through a child abuse case into one of murder, moving from one crisis to another, always exemplifying compassion and understanding.  The characters exhibit all kinds of alternate lifestyles but are presented in an objective, non-judgmental manner. The notable exceptions are the suspected child abusers and murderers, and the venom of those who try to do away with them.

An Innocent Murdered is a great page turner and ends satisfactorily with all of the loose ends gathered up to convict the evil perpetrator.  It is worthy of addition to one’s collection of murder mysteries.  —reviewed by Barbara Boatright, Author of  Impaled on the Horns of the Devil
