Patchwork Man
by D.B. Martin
Have you ever met a patchwork man?
Lawrence Juste is one. The QC with a conscience - privileged, reputable and emotionally frozen. The perfect barrister. But Lawrence hasn't always been who he is now. When he is glaringly in the public eye after his enigmatic wife is killed in an apparently random hit and run, he could do with his hidden past surfacing like a hole in the head. Unfortunately the past has a way of finding its way back to you, just like betrayal. His dead wife has helpfully left him a sinister resume of his, and she just keeps adding to it...
Patchwork Man is a psychological thriller as fast-paced as any of Dan Brown's, whilst evocatively recreating the chaotic and poignant childhood that has led Juste, the patchwork man himself, to chaos.
'Gripping all the way through...'
'Compelling.'
'Patchwork Man' is the first in the Patchwork series. 'Patchwork People' - the second in the series - will be released in September 2014

♥♥♥♥REVIEW BY EMMA MISTRESS OF ALL DARK & TWISTED♥♥♥♥
Patchwork Man
This is the first in a trilogy of mystery books by D B Martin following the lawyer Lawrence Juste. He appears to have the world at his feet until his wife is killed in a hit and run accident....it's seems a straightforward accident but this is just the beginning of Lawrence's discovery of his wife's activities.
The story was suspenseful with so many relationships that were interrelated into many areas of his life and childhood. The author has written a captivating mystery that has many parts to it. Ms. Martin creates a mystery so full of suspense with woven webs of twists and turns you really have to pay attention to keep up with events unfolding. The author takes us through many flashbacks of the character's lives within the story, which enables the reader to understand Lawrence's reaction and behaviours to many situations. Just as we learn more of the characters, the mystery deepens and the story becomes more suspenseful. The author seems to have the uncanny ability to keep you in suspense until she is ready to let you know what is really going on. She has characters that the reader can relate to. I was just sorry when it ended and I really want to know how things are resolved!!

Patchwork People (The Patchwork People Series Book Two)
Lawrence Juste QC has already had to face the public appearance of a long lost and criminally inclined brother, the renewed attentions of a boyhood bully, threatening to ruin him professionally and financially, and the machinations of his dead wife apparently keen to do the same. What else could go wrong?
Plenty.
It seems it can only end one way for Lawrence - disaster; unless...

♥♥♥♥REVIEW BY EMMA MISTRESS OF ALL DARK & TWISTED♥♥♥♥
This is the second book in the Patchwork People murder mystery trilogy by D B Martin. Lawrence Juste has serious problems: Murder, blackmail, and a desperate need to close down this horrible nightmare that his wife’s murder has left Juste a wreck and on the brink of joining his wife’s fate.
As the blackmail letters start to come in Juste finds himself in yet another situation where his past could come back to haunt him. What will he do to silence his blackmailer? Will his secrets be exposed? This intense thriller was a really, really good read.
I highly recommend this book if you love a mystery with rich characterization and a vast background and to be honest, who doesn't? There is a third book coming out and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next in Lawrence Juste's chaotic yet exciting life.
4 stars Emma Scott
