Review: Dying Brand by Wendy Tyson

A Mysterious Review of Dying Brand by Wendy Tyson. An Allison Campbell Mystery.

Review summary: This is a very complicated mystery, probably more so than it needs to be. But its greatest fault is that it suffers in comparison to the previous books in the series, with too much emphasis on interpersonal relationships and not enough on what should be a compelling, but in the end isn't, murder investigation.

Henery Press (May 2015)

Publisher synopsis: A former boyfriend is dead, slain on the streets of Philadelphia. His widow claims he was meeting with Allison, yet Allison hadn't spoken to him in years. Nothing about his death — or life — makes sense. When compromising photos from their past arrive at Allison's office, they raise more questions than they answer.

Driven to find justice, Allison deconstructs the image her ex had created for himself, looking for clues about the man he'd become. As her hunt for the truth unveils secrets, Allison's past and present collide — with deadly results.
