Description
Nicky Fusco thought he knew right from wrong, living by an oath of friendship & honor with his three best friends. But life took them down separate paths, and the oath was broken. Secrets were kept. Years later they are reunited and the bonds of their friendship are brutally tested, putting them on a collision course set in motion long ago.
Murder Takes Time is not a typical murder mystery or mob story. It is a thriller, a romance, and a coming-of-age story that rips your heart out. By the time you’re done reading it, you just might find yourself rethinking the definition of friendship & honor—even right and wrong.
Three boys, one girl. Friendship, honor, love—betrayal. It ends with murder.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
Murder Takes Time plows through your mind like a freight train. Heavy hitting and well crafted, this book is not for the weak of heart (or stomach!) This is a new breed of book. ~ Reviewed by Keri English for Indie Reader
This is a truly honest portrayal of characters and one of the best mob-related mysteries that I have ever read. ~ The Feathered Quill Review of Murder Takes Time, by Mary Lignor
A trail of murdered mobsters puts three best friends on opposite sides of the law in Giammatteo’s debut crime novel.
Giammatteo turns a genre stereotype on its head with a smart balance of conflicting perspectives that emotionally involve the reader in the New York underworld and its dirty players. The author digs deep to find a balance between a psychological thriller and a coming-of-age story. A nuanced debut that upends genre stereotypes and readers’ expectations. ~ Kirkus Review
Murder Takes Time
The author of Murder Takes Time, Giacomo Giammatteo, may be the Mario Puzo of our time. Giammatteo’s debut novel is breathtaking and groundbreaking. ~ eNovel Reviews
Giammatteo brings new life to the typical detective murder story. He takes the time to develop a complex plot into an attention-capturing tale of intrigue and friends betrayed, remade and destroyed.
In this tale, there is a lot of right, wrong and terribly, frighteningly gray. The characters are smoothly real and the tragedy of the way these lives move brought tears to the eyes of this reviewer. The final betrayal is brokenheartedly realistic. ~ Murder Takes Time: Reviewed by Chris Phillips, Bestsellersworld
