Renewals

By Gregory F. Delaurier

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 not only of the renewal of a city but of people as well--a sexually abused young woman seeking autonomy, a young ex-con seeking redemption, and others.

Renewals

Renewals is the fabulous debut from author, Gregory F Delaurier. I thought the writing style was different and unique. Within the first couple of chapters, I was intrigued with this story of mystery and suspense. The main character, Richard, finds himself in danger when he makes shocking discoveries and must do everything he can to protect those he loves. I enjoyed seeing the dialogue between him and those around him. The author sprinkles in humor all throughout between the characters that had me laughing out loud at times. Some of the scenes were so detailed at times that made me see the horror and sadness of the city and surroundings. I found this tale to be believable, fun, entertaining, mysterious, suspenseful, dangerous, and adventurous. I thought it was an overall great novel and a perfect start for Mr Delaurier's writing career. I loved it so much and had no problem of reading it in one sitting. I am going to give Renewals a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it and believe fans of mysteries will not miss out on it. It is most definitely worth the read. I would love to read more like this from the talented, Gregory F Delaurier, and seeing where else he would take his characters, readers, and fans to next. I received a copy of Gregory F Delaurier's Renewals from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
