~ CLOSED ~ "Confessions of a Catholic Cop", Review and Giveaway

I have to be honest;  I was a little hesitant about doing this review.  I'm more of a history, biography, "top 10 book club” type of girl.  When I saw the cover, I tried to get my husband to read it and do the review, I thought it was more his type of book.  He told me I, “had agreed to do the review and had an obligation to the author and publisher”, and even though I’m stubborn and reluctant to admit this, he was absolutely correct. 

Let me reiterate, that which has been said a thousand times ...you can’t judge a book by its cover!  Confessions of a Catholic Cop is a white knuckled, first-rate mystery. Thomas Fitzsimmons, the author and an ex-New York City police officer takes you on a journey through the shadows of the gritty New York Bronx.  You meet a wide variety of characters from high powered NY executives to local thugs, and corrupt cops to sketchy bar owners.

The story follows an honest Bronx cop, who moonlights as a supporting character on Law and Order, and his very disturbed partner, as they try to solve a string of mysterious arsons. Clue after clue brings them closer to what they suspect is a huge cover-up. The action is non-stop and the mystery propels you deeper and deeper.

This book does contain strong language and violence; however, it is necessary to relay an authentic story.  In general, this book was a fascinating read and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a compelling mystery.
