The Chapel of Retribution
The Chapel of Retribution | Glenn Burwell
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Robert Lui, a detective with the Vancouver Police Department, has left the Gang Taskforce to return to the duller but supposedly safer work of the Major Crimes Unit. Assigned to the benign west side of Vancouver, he didn’t expect to be breaking up fights between developers or finding body parts in the ponds of local horticultural attractions. Nor did he expect to be entangled in a revenge drama playing itself out across the city’s southside. Motives are hard to fathom, and victims have nothing in common, leaving Robert’s small team perplexed. They are also learning to be wary if they ever scrape up enough money to enter the housing market. On the plus side, they are spending time in one of the nicer environments on offer in the city, even if circumstances might be deadly. Content Warning: This is a revenge thriller, and contains several scenes of violence, including harm to a dog, murders, and a suicide.

#TheChapelofRetribution #GlennBurwell #20in4 #April #BookSpinBingo #SeriesRead2023

Robert Lui, a detective with the Vancouver Police Department, has left the Gang Taskforce and joined the Major Crimes Unit. Revenge is the main theme of the story. Glenn Burwell uses his job of almost 40 years as a registered architect in writing this book. He writes about the local development industry and how it affects the lives of people living in Vancouver.

EadieB The bodies of two people and one dog are found and needs to be solved by Robert Lui and his team. The characters are well-drawn and the plot allows the reader to read to the surprise ending of the book. This is a great debut book of a good series for the author and I will be awaiting another book by him soon. If you like mystery novels, then you will love this book. 12mo
