My life got in the way of me finishing this book in a timely manner. If I had been able to sit and read this would have been a book I couldn’t put down. You quickly get reconnected with the characters that you met earlier in the series. It’s like catching up with old friends and finding out what’s new! Masterfully written, with just enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes! Would recommend this book, as well as the others in the series!

Review of advance copy received from Author
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY READ "TATUM'S ALIBI and "NEVER DOUBT NADEEN" (and you SHOULD), then you fully realize this author knows how to pull you into the community and the lives of all the characters involved. So, I'm saying DO NOT PICK UP "EMMA'S DEMISE" unless you are prepared to travel deeper into the same world you will find in this book. If you enjoy intrigue and mystery, DO read this gem.
As I try to assemble my thoughts, I realize why this book is my favorite, as it pulled me completely into the mysterious and exciting life-like world these characters live in. Knowing some of the familiar names (towns, counties, people, etc) may have had something to do with it, too.
Many times I felt I knew what was coming next for Emma, and I was often wrong. The mystery continues and the several twists and turns near the end will NOT let you put this one down. Read it and enjoy the ride!
Patricia Lang EMMA'S DEMISE
Oh my! What a great addition to Roger's previous books, Tatum's Alibi and Never Doubt Nadine! Emma's Demise is full of suspense, thrilling moments, and unexpected twists. Emma is a femme fatale who is always a step ahead of law enforcement, and defense attorney, Mike Jorgenson, as she is on the run after being accused of multiple murders, fraud, and embezzling millions of dollars. They want to bring her to justice, but she is brilliant, beautiful, ruthless, and will do anything to escape. There are some themes that are not for young readers, but otherwise, this is a fun and suspenseful read. The characters are interesting and the storyline is very enjoyable. I was on the edge of my seat throughout. I enjoyed every minute reading this book and absolutely did not predict the ending! I highly recommend this book if you are a fan of legal thrillers, crime fiction, or mysteries!

NEVER DOUBT NADINE by Roger Skrypczak is a rollicking murder mystery that
will keep you guessing right up until the thrilling ending. The Wisconsin settings
and Midwest characters are brought to life with Skrypczak’s vivid details. The story
moves along with a crisp pace while the ticking clock adds delightful tension to this
roller coaster ride of a novel. Well done, Skrypczak.
Angelina Haibing NEVER DOUBT NADINE

It's the tale of Phil Bressler, once a dogged investigative journalist now enjoying
retirement. Yet, fate has a different plan. A story lands in his lap, one that's not only
intriguing but could potentially land him the prestigious Pulitzer Prize he's always
yearned for.
The drama unfolds around Nadine and Lester, a seemingly average couple thrown
into turmoil by Lester's fleeting indiscretion. However, the aftermath is anything
but ordinary as Lester finds himself entangled in a murder accusation of the very
woman he had a fling with. The plot thickens, drawing Phil and his wife Susan into
a web of mystery and suspense.
As Phil digs deeper, the reader is taken on a journey through the labyrinth of lies,
secrets, and betrayals. The characters are richly developed, each with their own
hidden motives and secrets. The question that keeps you hooked: Can you trust
Nadine?
Daniel Harper NEVER DOUBT NADINE
April 7, 2024
The whole setup with Nadine trying to clear her husband with the help of a judge is
unique and keeps you hooked. Roger Skrypczak has a way with words and pacing –
never too fast to lose you but always enough to keep the pages turning. The way he
introduces and develops characters is top-notch. If you’re into crime stories that
don't just entertain but also make you think, this one's for you.
Cristina Davis NEVER DOUBT NADINE

As we navigate the twisted narratives through Phil Bressler's eyes, every
character becomes a puzzle. Skrypczak masterfully crafts a story where
trust is a rare commodity, making this a must-read for anyone who loves a
good puzzle wrapped in intrigue. A classic noir gem!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful characters
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2024
Roger developed full characters that were lifelike, and I could relate to them.
Family support as shown in the book was wonderful to read. Combining a murder
mystery with a love story was fun to read.
Jennifer Kordish TATUM'S ALIBI
5.0 out of 5 stars Good Read, well written!
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2024
This story was fun to read, and the characters were well developed. The details
given for the setting and characters were descriptive enough so that you were able
to identify with the characters and the situation in what they were going through.
The dialog between characters was easy to understand and read. I am reading his
second book; Never Doubt Nadine" and its being just as good as the first one. I
met Roger the author in WI at a book event and he was fun to meet and talk to
about his books. His enthusiasm and passion for his stories was great to experience
and I would recommend his books to anyone who loves a great murder mystery
with a nice love story mixed in.
