A twisting and turning murder mystery with heart, The Brothers Kenney offers up an unpredictable search for answers wrapped within a tale about ambition, failure, atonement, and family drama. Adam Mitzner latest novel hits hard with emotion and life’s lessons while delivering a thrilling whodunit that’ll keep you guessing.
In the wake of a family tragedy, Sean Kenney returns to East Carlisle, New Jersey after a two-year absence, having fled after being overwhelmed by the failure to realize his only dream. While trying to secure forgiveness from his family for his prior actions, Sean continues to struggle with the cause of his brother’s death and won’t stop investigating on his own despite the insistent pleas of his sister. But despite his troubled past and the impact that had on the relationship with his family, Sean is convinced something more sinister is at play. And he won’t stop until he proves his instincts are correct. Even it if means burning down everything in his life that he’s desperately hoping to repair.
The Brothers Kenney is a book that’s more about family, dealing with failure and finding your purpose than it is about finding the truth behind a tragic death. That’s not to say the investigation portion of the story takes a backseat, because it’s incredibly relevant to Sean’s soul searching and offers a highly intriguing, twisty, suspenseful and compelling mystery that keeps you on your toes and tugs at your emotions. But at its core, this is a story about how you deal with disappointment and regret. How you can move forward after being intensely focused on one goal for so long that you don’t know what to do next. How resilience is a critical part of being human. And how it’s never too late to seek forgiveness, find redemption and discover a new purpose for your life. Lessons we can all relate to and reflect upon.
