The Bitter Past ~ Porter Beck #1 (by Bruce Borgos)

I read the second Porter Beck book and when the opportunity presented itself to read the first book in the series, I knew I had to take advantage of it. The characters are well developed and I loved getting to know Porter Beck. The dual timeline was handled well and will keep you on the edge of your seat as the story begins to unravel mysteries from the 1950s to present and Russia’s interest in our nuclear testing. Great twists and turns that will have you invested in the story as you work alongside Porter to figure out why a death was not ruled a suicide. There was so much to like in this book … mystery, wit, likeable characters, clues, surprises, a shocking revelation. I cannot say enough positives about this book. And I am now anxiously reading to read the third book in the series. Looking forward to many more adventures with Porter Beck.
