Political pledges - inheritance expectations - marriage vows... Broken promises can end in loss of power, disappointment, and divorce, or assassination and serial killing. In Garton Borough, London, promises are like pie crusts, made to be broken, and DCI Croft is left to sweep up the toxic crumbs. Duty rocks his marriage and endangers his life.

Readers' Favorite - Broken Promises by Sarah Stuart is part of the DCI Gerald Croft series. DCI Croft is back, this time to investigate betrayal and murder. Garton Borough in London is a hotbed of broken promises - political, marriage, and inheritance - and each one could turn deadly. Croft heads the investigation, uncovering secrets that have the potential to destroy lives, but the stakes are raised when a high school student is murdered. Promises and lies must be sorted through and untangled before Croft can track down the murderer, but with his marriage falling apart and his life under threat, can he succeed, or is this the end of the line for him?

This is the fourth DCI Geral Croft book, and I must say, the series just keeps on getting better. I've read the previous three books, and each one ramps up the tension just a little more than the previous one. You could read this as a standalone, but if you really want to understand what makes the main protagonist tick, read the series in order. The plot is nice and twisty with plenty of threads that all pull together in the end, but they'll keep you guessing right to the last page. There are some graphic descriptions, but they fit the story perfectly, and there's plenty of action and drama to keep you reading. It's edge-of-your-seat stuff as you try to figure out who did what, when, and why, and every chapter will make you want to read "just one more" before you put this book down. This whole series is perfect for readers who love suspenseful stories with a great plot and plenty of mystery.
