Jim Murray - Double Ugly

$3.62

“A tale of bad versus evil - a psychological thriller that pits the sociopathic ex-detective Burke against a brilliant and ruthless serial killer. Will Burke be able to bring him down? And what price will he have to pay?”

Double Ugly, the first volume in a new series, is riveting and mind boggling, entertaining yet very disturbing. And, indeed, is destined to become a classic for noir fiction lovers! Anita Lock. San Francisco Book Review.

DOUBLE UGLY is a lively mystery with an intriguing lead character and some interesting speculation on the purpose of ethics, morality and ambition. IndieReader Review.

Double Ugly by Jim Murray is captivating. It is a very well-written, fast moving crime novel. Jim Murray’s narrative is dense, with many interesting unpredictable twists, and the plot’s intrigue is well constructed. Murray’s writing style makes it a great read for noir fiction fans! Galina Roizman. Portland Book Review.

I found the author’s writing style unique, even hard to describe, a bit quirky, dark. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed “Double Ugly” and highly recommend it to anyone with a taste for a suspenseful mystery/thriller lined with a unique twist. Sheri Bebee. Reader Views Review.

The plot was great, really absorbing. At times it really sped along, effortlessly twisting and turning. It was an unusual book but very well written book – sometimes dark and sad but it also manages to be quite offbeat and sometimes funny. Anna Sanders. Goodreads Review.

After fifteen dispiriting years in the force, Detective Burke suffers a catastrophe that causes him to have a heart attack and leads ultimately to a heart transplant.

His police career in ruins, he invests in a restaurant, and by using his surveillance skills he gets honest feedback on the food and the service and elevates the restaurant to be the finest in Dublin.

When he eavesdrops on a party of criminals he learns something that connects his recent calamity to the stirrings of his transplanted heart.

As he is launched on the trail of a psychopathic killer, he learns of the killer’s victims, and confirms that he is in fact an urn to one of them.

Only by ridding the world of this murderer can he do the right thing by his heart, and be finally free of his bitter regrets.
