When I started reading this novel I immediately thought of those black and white detective movies. I enjoyed that the story kept me guessing. The character development was great. I really felt like I knew everyone and could understand their thought processes. The writer didn't add overwhelming detail to just pad the novel. Every detail was for a reason. This novel had everything that I look for in a thriller/mystery. There was murder, cover-ups, romance, fights...I couldn't have asked for more.

After the death of his ex-wife, Dallas PI Dylan Fisher is brought into a world of mystery, deception and danger (more than normal) as he must find Rose's killer before he is falsely charged with the crime. This brilliant thriller becomes a rollercoaster of emotions, mystery and intrigue as Fisher sets out to discover the truth behind Rose's death, uncovering decades-old mysteries and seeing the world he once knew in a different light.

Overall, The Life and Death of Rose Doucette was a great whodunnit with interesting characters, a well-written plot and an atmosphere that will satisfy any crime/thriller/mystery fans.

Thank you, NetGalley and Oceanview Publishing for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a good book! It was a quick read with short chapters. As far as the plot goes, I do think it started out a little slow, but then it picked up. The characters were well developed and there were lots of unexpected twists.

3.5 Stars

Dallas PI Dylan Fisher reluctantly meets with his ex-wife, Rose, to confidentially discuss a case her superiors have suggested she drop. Parting ways, Dylan observes a car tailing Rose from the hotel and he takes pursuit. Arriving too late to save her life, he holds Rose in his arms as she succumbs to a fatal gunshot wound. Now the primary suspect, Dylan vows to bring his beloved ex-wife’s killer to justice and, in doing so, get her department brethren off his back.

During his sluggish investigation, he discovers a sinister, decades-old skeleton in Rose’s closet. Collaborating with an unlikely assistant―Rose’s second husband, Dylan draws nearer to discovering the truth. The stakes escalate when he realizes he’s not only putting his new lover in the killer’s crosshairs but also her young son.

A well-written, leisurely-paced whodunit with familial antics, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ROSE DOUCETTE will satisfy most mystery and family-drama addicts. Those who prefer a more complex plot, brimming with dynamic characters and a quicker tempo, may close the book only somewhat fulfilled. Thank you, NetGalley, Mr. Hunsicker, and Oceanview Publishing for the ARC.

Really enjoyed this book , so many twists and turns, you was on a real rollercoaster. Rawking good read. Brilliant thriller, you keep thinking you knew who the bad person was they the author pulled the rug. What a life Rose had!

My 6P review

PI Dylan Fisher agrees to meet his ex-wife and his life changes forever. Before he knows it, he’s suspected of murdering her so he’s left with no choice but to team up with Rose’s widow to find the real killer.

Punchy, fast paced. Wow!

Dylan and Tito so likeable, from their frosty start to their mutual respect. I was cheering for them both.

The plot was excellent and it kept me guessing. The story was well thought out and the final motive was superb. There were plenty of red herrings and twists yet still remained fast paced. How far would you go to protect your family? How far would you go if money was no object?

There were just enough descriptives to know where you were in the world.

I loved this and will read more Hunsicker

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced reader’s copy.

This was a first for me from this author and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed! I could not put this down. The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat. Looking forward to reading more from this author!

I could not put this book down! This is a crime thriller/mystery that is easy to read with action, plot twists and a main character that I just love! This is a new author for me and I can't wait to read more of his books!
Thank you NetGalley, the publisher, and author for the ARC!

Wow! The Life and Death of Rose Doucette is a breath of fresh air. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Lots of twists and turns through the whole story to keep you hooked and guessing! You won't see the end coming. Well done.

Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. Wow. What a ride! I loved this book. Eerie suspense combined with "who done it" executed perfectly

I received an advanced copy of this book to review by the publishing agency, Oceanview Publishing. Thank you to NetGalley for supplying authors and publishers an easier way to deliver advanced copies to readers for advanced review.

This book was a riveting thrill that kept you guessing after each event that occurred. What was to happen next? Who was behind the death of Rose? Why was Rose dead?

The person we are lead to beleive who killed her turned out to be physically and mentally incapable of a crime in his current state. Instead, his brother was pulling the strings and playing the cards, manipulating everyone who he crossed paths with.

I didn't expect the killer or the reason behind the killings. I was unable to peice it together which made the book even better.

I had guessed something had happened to Rose at camp when she was younger, but what I didn't expect was the long lasting outcome and livelihood that incident developed into.

The book ended perfectly with our two favorite characters getting married.

I thoroughly enjoyed this read.

Thank you NetGalley and Oceanview Publishing for this ARC.

Rose reaches out to her ex husband Dylan to solve a crime. Is Rose losing her mind or is her fear valid?

Major twists and dark secrets are exposed. There is so much unknown information about Rose’s past and all of the trauma she endured. Imagine living life constantly looking back to see if you’re being followed or if it’ll be the last day you live.

Corruption in law enforcement makes people who need help fearful on who they can and cannot trust. Good cop bad cop was portrayed very well along with the reasons for self defense. People in law enforcement also live with a sense of guilt and trauma that is often overlooked by society.

I’m not sure how I felt about Mia and Dylan’s relationship. A lot was left open to the readers mind regarding Caleb and if their relationship was always strictly professional.

Tito and Dylan connected on the basis of grief over Rose’s death. I enjoyed their budding friendship and ability to work together to find Rose’s murderer.

The book was very well written and easy to follow. There was a lot of moving pieces throughout the story. Even though there were multiple characters, each one contributed some missing information that would help complete the puzzle. A little too slow moving for me, but very action packed at the end with a twist I didn’t see coming.

It took me a few days to finish this book but in the end I did enjoy it. It was a bit slower than I usually prefer in a novel but the ended made up for the slow start.

This was a great murder story. I enjoyed it very much. Well written and kept me going throughout the whole book.

An intriguing and unique murder mystery that becomes more and more complex as more murders occur.. It held my interest throughout! Characters are multi dimensional and interesting. Former police detective, now PI, Dylan Fisher is tasked by his ex-wife Rose to investigate a supposed suicide of her old friend. Immediately afterwards, Rose is killed and Dylan witnesses the execution. There must have been bad blood between Dylan’s former colleagues in the police department because he was charged with her murder. Free on bond, he attempts to clear his name by finding the real killer. The tension builds as Dylan becomes a target as well, yet has little sympathy from the police. Rose’s present husband,Tito, comes into play. Although Dylan and Tito were rivals for Rose’s affection, the two make peace with one another and team up to work together to solve Rose’s murder and the mystery surrounding it, stemming from something that happened two decades earlier! Indeed, the plot is complex but not convoluted. There are many twists and the twist at the end was thoroughly unexpected and stunning! The climax was intense and exciting; the denouement very satisfying! This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I hope there is another with the same protagonist! I would read the sequel as Dylan and Tito are dynamic!

My thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
