Poetic Justice: A Rascal Todd Mystery Featuring Brody Thompson Paperback – 2 juni 2025
Aankoopopties en uitbreidingen
Rascal Todd wants to help, but her editor keeps her away from the story. Why? What was Wilson Barcroft doing at Gateway Park the night he was killed? Who is the mysterious Poet? What do the odd bits of poetry he has spread around tell us? Is the Poet still alive? Will he survive? Will Brody and Trevor find the answers—will they survive?
Join Rascal and her friends and coworkers as they try to help from the sidelines without becoming targets in an ever-growing list of deadly crimes. Real life turns out to be far more dangerous than any fiction Brody could create as the history of a war long over comes back to haunt the city of Pittsburgh.
Consistent with previous books by this author, this is a character-driven story with an ensemble cast. Some characters will be familiar to readers of Antion’s other novels. Some are new faces that you might just come to love. The addition of poetry by Willow Willers provides an interesting mechanism driving this story forward, and driving Brody Thomson into dangerous territory.

Yvette PriorBeoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 31 augustus 20255,0 van 5 sterren Engaging mystery story with relatable characters and lets you feel some of Pittsburgh, PA
Formaat: Kindle-editieGeverifieerde aankoopThis book was gripping to read and easy to follow along with as the characters problem solved the mystery with poem clues and deceptive characters. The play on words and literal use of "poetry and justice: was a clever narrative device and came so well together in each chapter.
The authors gave a us a good length book here while also keeping details succinct. For example, at times we have specifics but other times the details were not needed, like with thisL "Brody suggested stopping at the diner to plan their next steps. Once inside, they snagged a booth and ordered a basic breakfast." Without the authors going into details - we could imagine our version of the booth setting and the basic breakfast - while staying immersed in the next part of the unfolding story, which was meeting with a professor.
The various psychological details in the story made sense; for example, not making an appointment and deciding to drop in (surprise the person) so they could not prepare or create a fictional felt smart. This is important in detective work and aligned with other realistic elements.
Another takeaway for me was the setting of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have only been there once, but feel like I know the city so much more from Poetic Justice (in the Rascal Todd series). It will be fun to visit the city again and visit some of the areas mentioned in Poetic Justice (like Forbes Avenue, the Oakland area, etc).
In sum, Dan Antion and Willow Willers teamed up astutely to give readers an exciting story that touches your heart at the end with the dedication to the heroes who lost their lives in the Vietnam War, or those came home displaced, and disrespected, displaced, and not helped properly. I think readers will enjoy this book.

MacTrishBeoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 12 juli 20254,0 van 5 sterren A whodunnit that ticks all the boxes
Formaat: Kindle-editieGeverifieerde aankoopPoetic Justice is one of a series of books that centres on a newspaper office and its intrepid journalists who delve deep into mysteries and crime. In this one, the newspaper plays second fiddle to a crime writer called Brody Thompson who is hired by Trevor Barcroft to solve the murder five years ago of his father.
Brody is reluctant to take on the case, but as it becomes clear that people want this closed case to remain that way, his interest is piqued and he uses his intuition and the sleuthing skills acquired from his books to start digging for the truth.
The main players from the past all have time in Vietnam in common. I was touched by Brody’s references to those who had fought for their country, putting their lives and mental health on the line, yet denied the welcome back expected after such a brutal campaign. One of the elusive characters is a homeless man who served time in Vietnam and is referred to as The Poet. He has left cryptic poems (hauntingly written by Willow Willers) in different places and Brody has to try and interpret them to solve the mystery of several deaths.
This is a lively Whodunnit and the pace is just right. There’s excitement, danger, romance and some delicious humour. This is the first book I’ve read from the series, but now I feel I need to go back and get to know the characters from the start.

JanBeoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 5 augustus 20255,0 van 5 sterren A carefully layered mystery full of secrets
Formaat: Kindle-editieGeverifieerde aankoopIt's never a good idea for the police to try to stonewall a famous crime writer who's become involved in a closed case, particularly when the murder victim's son ends up in a coma after a traffic accident ... but they do. Why the coverup (is it a coverup?) is one of the central issues of Dan Anton's new book Poetic Justice. There have been other murders, there are family secrets, there's a mysterious poet who holds many clues but there's also time for an occasional sporting event or a drink at a local bar. Anton's love of everyday settings always shines through - as does his ability to capture the way people actually talk!

Frank HubenyBeoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 16 juli 20255,0 van 5 sterren Kept me wondering to the end and even at the end there were surprises
Formaat: Kindle-editieGeverifieerde aankoopBrody Thompson is the main character in this dialogue-driven mystery which kept me wondering who was committing all of the murders. Early on Brody warned Trevor that it might be safer not to know the truth. That hooked me on the tale.
