Murder Takes Time

Giacomo Giammatteo
Inferno Publishing Company (2012)
ISBN 9780985030209
Reviewed by Kam Aures for RebeccasReads (6/12)

As the book begins, the setting is present day Brooklyn, New York, in a coffee shop.  The killer is sipping a cup of coffee and looking out the window at his target, Nino Tortella.  “Killing was an art, requiring finesse, planning, skill- and above all-patience.  Patience had been the most difficult to learn.  The killing came naturally.  He cursed himself for that.  Prayed to God every night for the strength to stop.  But so far God hadn’t answered him, and there were still a few more people that needed killing.”  (p.1) 

Giammatteo wastes no time with long drawn out paragraphs, slowly intensifying into action.  He gets right into the thick of it immediately, with the first murder taking place on page three.  It is not your ordinary run of the mill murder either, as it involves a baseball bat, a shot glass, and a pair of tongs.

What follows is an action-packed book that never slows down.  We delve deep into the character’s lives and minds, both past and present. Giammetteo’s writing style is very readable and is sure to grab your attention.   The writing is gripping and fast moving.  The reader is reeled in immediately in the opening pages and the non-stop action doesn’t stop delivering until the last page is turned. 

If you are looking for a unique thriller, then definitely give “Murder Takes Time” a try!  As this book is the first in the Friendship and Honor series of books, I am anxiously waiting to see what Giammatteo comes up with next.
