Reviews for The Measure of a Man

 

A serial killer and a love triangle. Things aren't always as they seem in this romantic mystery. The reader is left guessing what will happen--with both the killer and the love triangle--until the very end. O'Connell shows that sometimes love can be obvious and instinctual, but other times needs to be cultivated to see what has always been there. A page turner that will touch your heart. Amanda Biela, Chicago, Ill

 

This is a taut, fast-paced mystery with an interesting mix of forensics, police procedure and romance. I couldn't put it down. I read it in one day! Virginia Grant, Oceanside, CA

 

I had the pleasure of reading the pre-release copy of this highly imaginative novel by Brette O'Connell. She has done a wonderful job of creating a believable set of characters, wonderful dialog and fast-paced plot. The story is both a thriller, in classic CSI fashion, and a romance. Each chapter draws you farther into the story and grabs your attention. The book left me wanting more, and I look forward to the sequel. I highly recommend this book to you! Steven R. Waters, Minneapolis, MN

 

I'm not much of a reader but this book had me hooked from page one. I'm glad I took my friend's advice and read it. Looking forward to the second book in the series. Jenna Chapman, Hollister, OK

 

Entertaining crime drama. Looked forward to it every night! Got involved with the characters and their complicated situations. Fun read! Bing Michaels, North Providence, RI

 

I loved this book! I like how Ms. O'Connell drops readers into the middle of a scene at the beginning of the book and we have to figure out what is going on. I also loved Siobhan and the chemistry that she had with Garnett. I loved Siobhan as a character; tough, smart, beautiful...she was great! The pacing of the book was excellent and I just couldn't put it down once I started reading it. If you like good, character-driven, page-turning fiction featuring an interesting plot and memorable characters, you will really enjoy this book. I am looking forward to reading more works by this author in the future. Eliot Parker, Chesapeake, Ohio
