This definitely isn't the quality of writing that this author is capable of doing. Although he is on my "favorite authors" list, this book just didn't manage to make it a good read. From the beginning to the end, this book was a very depressing read. Although truth can be stranger than fiction, this storyline stretches believability. I did not enjoy this book and would never read it again. The proofing was horrible. Toward the end, there was a sentence along the lines of, "he chased her as fast as SHE could run..." This is not the exact quote, but it is close. There were numerous other things similar that should have been caught but weren't. An author of this quality, I expect more from.Product details

Before Sunrise edition by Rick Mofina Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
A huge departure from Rick Mofina's usual books. Not a mystery but a realistic story of what a law enforcement official deals with when forced to take a life. In this situation not only the perp but two innocent children who were caught in the line of fire. The emotional journey for Will Fortin from the shooting to the resolution. Most LE will never fire a weapon, some unfortunately have to. The emotional turmoil they face can be devastating. Some can work through it, some can't. It doesn't make them weak, just human.
At times, it was a psychological study. At other times, it was a sort of mystery. Then it moved to detail a couple of other stories that would tie together at the end. It’s not that it was confusing to follow; it’s that the author couldn’t decide if he was telling a story or describing a series of events, or detailing the way the RCMP worked. It just didn’t have an authentic voice. There were several grammatical errors, which, though minor, distracted me. There were even odd letters and numbers like [P1], as if the author forgot to remove placeholders or something. This could have been a gripping story. It just fell flat in the telling.
I'm 40% in. Starting with an emotional upswing, it becomes an unrelentingly gut wrenching, melodramatic, Lifetime Movie kind of story. I could easily believe it was not written by Mofina, as it is out of character with other Mofina books I have liked very much. It has just gone from heart-breakingly bad in one direction to heart-breakingly bad in another, like a soap opera tear-jerker on steroids.
I kept reading. It has gone from bad to worse, to worse, to bad, to neutral, to bad, to worse. Is this a parody? Threads of the story get tied together in unbelievable coincidences for a redemption at the end. I found it thoroughly unpleasant,, and more of a morality tale or soap opera than a crime or detective story. It is not a "thriller", as advertised.
I have read quite a few of author Mofina's books and like his style of writing.
This tale was a bit different. It's much shorter for one thing - a short story extended into a novella. I wish it had been extended into a full-blown novel.
Will Fortin is a Constable with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in southern Alberta, Canada when a deadly accident happens and changes Will's life for always.
He struggles for years with his guilt and finally finds redemption.
This was a dark story but there was light at the end.
I've read and enjoyed a number of Mofina's books. This was not one of them. It wasn't terrible, but it just was very amateurish for someone who is normally a pretty good writer. Writers of fiction always try to create a willing suspension of disbelief in their readers, but the overwhelming number of far-fetched coincidences in this book would strain the credulity of the most gullible.
This book has several different stories going at the same time, it get confusing, but in the
end they all come together, but it is getting to the ending that is the torture.
It drones on and on and repeats so much.
It was boring for the most part too much back stories on each story.
It did have some good interesting and action packed parts.
But mainly I lost interest when one of the stories about the main characters
was an FBI agent, has an issue on the job, then went through some mental
problems over it, but ended up kicking his wife out, telling her to leave her home
move out, get out, when she did nothing wrong what so ever.. I decided then I didn't
care for him at all, and it really made NO sense with the story, because before that
they were a loving, caring, close couple... nothing built up to them splitting up like that.
This author repeats so much about that case, and this lead characters feelings, over and over and over.
I was so sick of reading about it.... but I did finish it... and as I said, in the end all the stories do
come together. BUT honestly this same story could have been told so much better and in a way
not nearly as boring as it is here...
I can not recommend this book.
Before Sunrise is a very emotional story about an RCMP officer who accidentally killed 2 children in the line of duty. While he was cleared of any wrong-doing, he couldn't forgive himself. This guilt led him to a lifetime of anguish. He kept doing his job in a small town in Alberta but was much tenser than before. Believing his wife deserved better, he told her to leave. Meanwhile, Ren Carter is living a quiet life in Ice Lake, Washington. I wondered why she kept popping up in this story and found out toward the end.
The wrap-up to this book was not what I expected, at all. So I was disappointed. But since other reviewers loved the ending, I seem to be on my own on this.
This was a very depressing book. Even so, I was compelled to read it to the end so I could find out what happened to the man.
This definitely isn't the quality of writing that this author is capable of doing. Although he is on my "favorite authors" list, this book just didn't manage to make it a good read. From the beginning to the end, this book was a very depressing read. Although truth can be stranger than fiction, this storyline stretches believability. I did not enjoy this book and would never read it again. The proofing was horrible. Toward the end, there was a sentence along the lines of, "he chased her as fast as SHE could run..." This is not the exact quote, but it is close. There were numerous other things similar that should have been caught but weren't. An author of this quality, I expect more from.
