Too Many Bridges by Bill Gormley
Detective Branko Radic is tasked with following up with an anonymous call reporting a murder under a bridge. Who is the victim? Who is the witness? Where is the body?
Detective Branko Radic and Officer Kathleen Mulroy travel throughout Pittsburgh to track down the answers to these questions. Engrossing story filled with memorable characters. I look forward to reading more books in this debut series. Recommend.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this work in exchange for an unbiased review.

An eyewitness to a murder calls the Pittsburgh police from one of the city’s 446 bridges, then disappears. To solve the case, the police must find the bridge. But where to start? Detective Branko Radic and Officer Kathleen Mulroy seek help from a nun, a professor, a mechanic, and a tattoo artist. They learn of a family feud, a business in trouble, some sketchy Harry Potter merchandise, and a missing young woman. If only they can find the right bridge, they might be able to put it all together! Good book!! This book had suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, a good who done it and a few twists and turns! The story was interesting, and worth reading but it wasn’t one of my all time favorite?! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me m!

Who knew that Pittsburgh had such an abundance of bridges? Of course, that aspect forms the backbone of the novel but it’s a short lived point of interest and only remains relevant for a short period. An anonymous phone call kicks off what turns out to be an unusual case for the local Police force. Not only a missing person enquiry but an investigation into unlicensed Harry Potter merchandise.

The investigation initially offers a pleasing conundrum, bridge related of course, but as the story progresses, the suspects are paraded in front of us and the mystery elements vanish quicker than the swish of an Elder wand.

I would have liked more threat and intrigue as the Potter elements soon grew tired.
