The Lost Brother by Gretta Mulrooney - Book Review
I haven't done one of these book reviews in a while. I missed it though, I love to read new genres and authors and catch up with old favorites too! Today I am presenting you with the gripping mystery The Lost Brother by Gretta Mulrooney which you can find HERE. This is actually the tenth book in the Tyrone Swift Detective Series but the books work perfectly as stand alones.
What the book is about
You stare hard at the man in the photo, you’re sure that’s your brother. But he’s been dead for years . . . hasn’t he?
Steve Buckley was just four years old when he was told his two-year-old little brother Zac had died. Baby Zac’s distinctive strawberry-shaped birthmark and the missing little finger on his left hand are some of Steve’s only lasting memories of him.
Now years later, Steve stumbles across a photo of a man with the exact same birthmark and missing left finger. He’s also the same age that Zac would have been — could this mysterious man possibly be his lost brother?
Detective Tyrone Swift is called to investigate. But with Steve and Zac’s mother now dead and their father long gone, there’s few clues left for Swift to go on.
All the evidence suggests Zac died as a young child, but Steve is convinced that this man is his brother.
It’s up to Swift to find the truth, no matter the cost . . .
THE DETECTIVE
Tyrone Swift is an ex-police detective who now works privately. He’s survived a stabbing and his fiancée running off with another man. Swift's personal life is complicated, to say the least.
