About the Book
When academic Richard returns to his hometown he discovers a scam that has ruined the city, he must unite his friends and family to uncover the truth, but this pits him against the scam’s architect, aging but violent drug kingpin Giacomo Duchamps, who could destroy everyone Richard loves should he fail.
Renewals captures the nature of a hardscrabble small town and those who live and struggle there, in this pitch perfect tale of corruption and renewal. It is the story of the renewal of a city but also the renewal of the lives of those who are lost or oppressed; a young woman trapped in sexual abuse and exploitation, a young ex-con searching for a better life, and others.
My Review
Expect a Fast-Paced Novel with Believable Twists, Turns and Tension. This novel creates a very believable storyline, with realistic plot twists and believable dialogue and scenes. I love reading a fictional novel that feels real enough that I find myself wondering if it's based on true events. This novel holds all of the corruption, greed and suspense of a mob thriller but does so in a real-world way that pulls average readers into the lives of those affected as the scenes unfold.
Renewals Offers the Perfect Cast of Characters. While there are no perfect characters in the book, there are plenty of memorable characters that will hold your interest from the beginning to beyond the last page. I enjoyed the humor, the conversations, the twists and turns, and the relationships presented in the book. While the novel is well-written and reaches satisfying conclusions, you can expect to be sad to leave the characters behind as you reach the end.
Would I Recommend Renewals by Gregory F. DeLaurier? If you enjoy crime fiction with realistic amateur sleuths and a perfectly imperfect cast of characters--this novel is a well-done, quick read that will hold your interest from beginning to end.
