Pierce Review

I’d like to thank the author and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read Pierce in exchange for an honest review. Let’s get to it.

Synopsis

When janitor Truman Pierce isn’t listening to his classical jazz records, he stays under the radar and keeps to himself. Nothing much happens in his world until popular college instructor Danielle Hutchins asks him out. The day after their first date, Pierce finds Danielle murdered in her classroom. With only a little information to go off of, and a pair of detectives that he doesn’t trust, Pierce sets off to find Danielle’s killer. What first starts as murder, quickly becomes more for Pierce as he begins to pull off the layers of his quiet town by going up against drug dealers, thugs, Danielle’s vengeful brother, and an array of people who don’t want him to find out the truth. Every corner he turns, he’ll find another challenge for him to overcome.

With the help of two college students, David and Goliath, and another college instructor, Pierce will do what it takes to find out the truth about Danielle. He’ll be tested to his limits as he seeks to track down the devious killer responsible for ending Danielle’s life.

But will the search for the truth be the end for Pierce?

My Thoughts on Pierce

There were parts of Pierce that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was an easy read and I consumed it quite quickly. The mystery was intriguing, and I really wanted to know what going on. But I will say Pierce could have used a bit more editing. There were some inconsistencies that I noticed that would drag me out of the story for a bit. It made the pace feel a little choppy.

I also noticed that the story felt a tad farfetched. The character’s backstory wasn’t fully developed, and based on the information I had the character acted in ways that I wouldn’t have expected the character to act.

Overall, this was a quick read with a few bugs that need to be worked out.
