Product Description

Kindle Edition On Sale for a Limited Time.


Would you help, would you run, or would you just watch?


When a young woman is brutally assaulted by two men on the subway, her cries for help fall on the deaf ears of onlookers too terrified to get involved, her misery ended with the crushing stomp of a steel-toed boot.  A cellphone video of her vicious murder, callously released on the Internet, serves as a trigger, pulled a year later, for a killer.


A girl disappears. She's no one. A waitress, studying to be a nurse. But the investigation finds she does have something in common with a sickening number of missing women: blonde hair, young, and a penchant for a retro look. She is the latest victim of a serial killer operating so far under the radar, no one noticed until now.


Two different crimes, two different investigations, are about to collide in an ending so shocking, you'll be left asking: What would I do?


Depraved Difference is another international hit from the bestselling author of The Protocol and Brass Monkey. A fast-paced murder suspense novel, Depraved Difference has enough heartbreak, terror, twists and laughs to keep you on the edge of your seat, then knock you flat on the floor with an ending so shocking, you'll read it again just to pick up the clues.


Depraved Difference is a full-length novel.


Now Available: Tick Tock, Book #2 in the Detective Shakespeare Mysteries

About the Author

J. Robert Kennedy wrote his first story when he was five. Everyone in it died. Things didn't get much better from there. After horrifying his teachers in creative writing classes he took an extended hiatus, returning to writing on a whim, haunted by the image of a woman standing in tall grass, the blades streaming through her fingers. The result was a short story, Does It Matter?, written in a single evening. And then he let it sit. A couple of years later he let several friends read it and they encouraged him to try and get it published. He submitted it to The Sink and it was immediately accepted. Encouraged, he wrote a second story, Loving the Ingredients, and it too was accepted, along with a reprint of Does It Matter? by The Writers Post Journal. With several publishing credits under his belt, he was ready for something bigger. A phone conversation with a best friend led to Robert writing his first novel, The Protocol. Lachesis Publishing, the first publisher he sent it to, agreed to publish it and cloud nine got a little more crowded. His next effort, Depraved Difference, was accepted for publication, however he turned down the offer, and decided to publish it independently on the Kindle, allowing him to offer his books at the prices he felt readers wanted to pay for eBooks. Robert was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, and grew up an Air Force brat, living in Halifax and Greenwood, Nova Scotia, Goose Bay, Labrador, Lahr and Baden, Germany, and finally Winnipeg and Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. He escaped his parent's clutches to attend university in Waterloo and settled in Ottawa, Ontario. Robert has a wife and daughter, and is hard at work on his next novel.

An unexpected treat 18 April 2011
By FictionFan TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being new to self-published books at ridiculously low prices, I started this book with low expectations - proof again of how wrong I can be! This is a great read, fast, furious, with more dead bodies than a holiday weekend in Midsomer.

As the blurb says the main story is about revenge killings of people who stood by and did nothing while a young woman is murdered. But it's also a look at how the internet and media can turn brutal crime into entertainment and the impact that can have on the people involved.

The two main characters, reporter Aynslee Kai and Detective Hayden Eldridge are both attractive, likeable people. Aynslee's crush on Hayden is very well handled and provides plenty of humour to act as a counterpoint to the darkness of the main plot. No spoilers, but yes, I was genuinely surprised by the ending.

Off now to check out the author's other books.

I bought this book for my kindle because I like a crime thriller and it was cheap. I was hooked from the beginning, the two storylines were fascinating, I did not see the finale coming and can honestly say this was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I will be looking out for this author and eagerly awaiting the next book. I was surprised that the author decided to self publish to keep prices down for readers and applaud him for this. If you are debating whether to buy this book or not I say 'go for it', you will not be disappointed.

Disappointing
I enjoyed the book up to a point, this being about halfway through. With each passing murder, the killer's spree was causing my interest to wane (it was too pat). Read more
