Product Description

Product Description

Fans of James Patterson, Rick Murcer, and Michael Connelly, prepare for a story so real you won't believe it's fiction.

Sinful deception. A malicious corporate takeover. A grisly murder. Unrelenting greed.

We all have that inner voice, the one who knows all but refuses to let even our closest confidantes inside. The one we must calm when we're most unsettled. The one who seeks to understand our path, our destiny.

Michael Doyle lives in emotional anonymity, resistant to fully devote himself to anyone or any cause. Without warning, a technology conglomerate acquires Michael's company, and he quickly sees through the fog of political posturing: false hope, layoffs, and blatant dishonesty.

Then, death reaches up and grabs him. Shaken to the core, Michael leans on his live-in girlfriend, who has touched his heart like no one else. But her haunting past resurfaces, and she's pulled into a seedy web by an outside force so cruel, so cunning it destroys every soul in its path.

Can Michael rise above his greatest fear to uncover the truth about a murder and save the life of the person he loves most?

Only if he's...COMMITTED.

Intriguing 10 Jan 2012
By MJ
Format:Kindle Edition
3.5*

Michael Doyle is having a bad week, first he finds out his job is on the line because of a company take over bid, and then, on a rainy day he finds the body of one of his co-workers in an alleyway. Concussed and unsettled over the discovery, Michael can't get the image of the dead girls arm out of his head and takes it on himself to find out what happened to her.

This is a steady paced thriller with mystery and suspense, conspiracies and corporate greed. It has a complicated plot with unforeseen twists and turns, and I didn't predict the outcome (I'm not an experienced crime reader though and only have a few under my belt so my opinion on hidden clues and red herrings is not reliable!)

Michael and Melissa both have their hang-ups but still we see romance and love in their relationship. Being a romantic at heart I had high hopes for this pair and hoped they could both lay their demons to rest, you will have to read the book to see if that worked out for me!!

This is a quick read with short chapters, technically the writing is great and it is well edited but overall it felt quite formal and not as relaxed as the writing I normally read. This may be typical of the genre which isn't my usual choice. The characters were well developed and real and most of the dialogue was believable. I am definitely starting to enjoy this type of story and will be adding more crime/thriller/mystery to my TBR pile.

Copy supplied for review. Thank you

The Plot Thickens! 30 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I just finished "Committed" by John W. Mefford and I have to say it was a treat. The story is fast paced and keeps you guessing. Just when you think you know where it is going a new layer of mystery is added to the plot.

Michael Doyle is a mid-level manager at a company that has just been bought by a larger corporation and he fears he and his co-workers will be outsourced to India. Then he finds a body behind the dumpster at work and things go downhill from there.

He discovers that he knows the young female victim and is compelled to find out who is responsible for her death. A co-worker is arrested for the crime and Michael does not believe he could be a murderer and becomes more determined to uncover the truth. As the cast of villains grow and corporate greed and hidden agendas are revealed the stakes get higher for Michael and his girlfriend, Marisa.

This is a great first novel. The characters are well-developed and believable. The numerous twists in the plot are all woven together and none are left hanging. I'll be looking forward to book 2!

Thrilling Thriller 27 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Mefford laid down a great tale. Well constructed characters and
a plot that kept me turning the pages. I enjoy a story that
is well-paced, intelligent, and populated with likeable characters.
Also love to read "good" bad guy characters, and Mefford has a whopper
of a bad guy.

grab a copy of this book. very good readCommitted (The Michael Doyle Chronicles)
