Breaking Apart (A Finnerty and Liccione Mystery, #2)Breaking Apart by Wanda J. Venters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from these authors and they have me hooked. This is the second book to the Finnerty and Liccione mystery series. You can read this as a stand-alone but there was another case that got these two together first. This book has you at the edge of your seat until the very end. I can’t wait to see what is next for these two brilliant authors.

Marnie and Louise find themselves teaming up again. They are assigned a very violent death. When they start the case they feel like something is not right. Marnie and Louise go straight to the wife of Josh Baker. She tells them Josh was in a Health Clinic trying to better himself. Marnie and Louise start to get some questions answered and they are not liking where this case is going. Is this case going to get solved or will it become way to dangerous?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series. While the protagonists stay the same, the story is delightfully different. The beautiful female friendship is at the core of the story, as Marnie and Louise find themselves embroiled in yet another strange death mystery. The authors do a great job reeling you in to a modern day story with commentary on current day issues. This story has the VA hospital as it’s back drop, it shines a light on our need to do better for Veterans trying to return to everyday life. A really good story that draws you in from start to finish.

Was a very good first book in a new series. The characters were interesting and developed, quirks and all. Makes me want to visit Galveston. Had all the classic murder mystery vibes. Can not wait to see what book 2 has in store.

Breaking Apart was a good read but not what I expected.
The characters were well developed and even not having read the first book I could still follow the story. I guess it fell flat for me because I had a preconceived idea of what I was going to read.

Breaking Apart (A Finnerty and Liccione Mystery, #2)Breaking Apart by Wanda J. Venters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After the chaos that ensued in the first book of the series, Louise and Marnie both decided they needed a career change. They both decided to care for veterans. On Marnies first day at her new job, she parks beside a truck and has blood all over it. Jumping into doctor mode, she breaks the window to find a young man, named Josh, dead. The clues all point to Josh taking his own life.

Louise is coming to Denver for a course during the summer and will be staying with Marnie. All Louise wants is to do her course and decompress after the horrible events that happened last year. Marnie has another plan. After talking to the widow of Josh, Marnie thinks that there might be more to the story.

With not much to go on, Marnie still thinks that maybe Josh’s death was potentially murder. Marnie and Louise will once again have to band together with their knowledge and figure out the cause of death of this young veteran while juggling everyday life.

This book, in my opinion, was much better than the first one in the series. It was more fast paced and you got to know more about Louise and Marnie. There were less background characters making this book a lot easier to follow and stay engaged.

This book hit close to home. My husband is a young veteran and although he never served in war, he saw and heard a lot he shouldn’t have. When he was discharged, he was really depressed and had PTSD. He started drinking heavily, spending all his money. He admitted that he was planning on ending it once the money was gone. At the time we were close friends and not dating yet but it was still very painful to watch him go down that destructive path. Luckily he got some help and is doing a lot better today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this book to be very engaging and it kept me guessing until the end. This is book 2 in a series and I did not read book 1 first, but I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything by not reading book 1. I enjoyed the military aspect as a veteran myself, so that just added to the intrigue. Lots of characters with many layers to the story. This was a complex story line and at times was a bit confusing to follow, but overall it was a great book and I enjoyed it. I have some family that spent many years in the Denver area so that also added an extra layer of enjoyment to this book. Well done to both authors, they were well researched and did a great job with this story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Breaking Apart is book 2 of 2 in a series written by an author duo, Wanda and Mary Rae, they are uniquely knowledgeable/equipped to write in a genre such as this. Medical Thriller/Murder Mystery is kind of a new genre for me that I don’t usually pick up, but the premise of this book is what really pulled me into it. We start this book off with a veteran suicide, or was it really? PTSD, veteran suicide, addiction, etc, can all be triggering subject matter to some people, but nevertheless is a very real issue. I felt like the authors handled it very well and went on to write a gripping novel. I enjoyed this much more than I thought. Im interested in reading more novels written by this duo.

I can’t say enough about this book. I read it as a standalone but will be going back and reading the first one while I eagerly await the next to come out.

Marnie & Louise make an amazing team. Their friendship and support of one another both personally and professionally shows what true friendship is. The conversations they have between the two of them are real and caring while also sometimes being the tough conversations that close friends have.
The mystery of the investigation with its twists and turns kept me interested the whole way through.

The background regarding the VA and bringing real life concerns and challenges that surround the VA as well as veterans and suicide rates is a very real problem across the US that needs to be brought to light and talked about more often. We can not make change unless we are educated and looking for ways to truly help.

I truly enjoyed and definitely recommend this book.

Breaking Apart (A Finnerty and Liccione Mystery, #2)Breaking Apart by Wanda J. Venters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breaking Apart is the Second Book in the Finnerty and Liccione Mystery Book Series. It is a fast-paced medical crime thriller full of action, suspense, murder, mystery, intrigue, secrets, and drama. The story centers around the characters of Marnie and Louise who are doctors at the Colorado VA Behavioral Health Clinic. Marnie has just begun running a trial at the clinic to help veterans suffering from PTSD. On her first day she discovers a young veteran by the name of Josh who appears to have committed suicide. As she delves deeper into his death, she learns that there may be something more sinister behind it and that it may not have been suicide at all. The story is told from multiple points of view so that you can get a better understanding of the other characters, and their perspectives and situations as well. As Marnie and Louise work to uncover what happened to Josh, they discover that there is an undercover network of prescription scams which puts the lives of the doctors in danger. I love the medical aspect of this book and how the authors tell the real and raw story about PTSD the veterans suffer as they try to reintegrate into society after serving. The characters are complex, real, raw, and it is easy to become invested in their lives and their stories. The authors have done an amazing job of writing about such a sensitive topic and the struggles and trauma that veterans go through.

Breaking Apart (A Finnerty and Liccione Mystery, #2)Breaking Apart by Wanda J. Venters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A gripping medical murder mystery which kept me hooked throughout. Physicians Dr. Marnie Liccione and Dr. Louise Finnerty have teamed up again, this time to investigate whether the violent death of a patient whilst at a Colorado VA Behavioral Health clinic was suicide or murder. The pair must discover if young veteran Josh Baker is another victim of the suicide epidemic or if he was murdered. As Marnie and Louise investigate in order to give Josh’s widow some answers, they uncover a prescription drug diversion scheme with a link to those involved in the illegal sale of the deadly opiate krokodil. Getting closer to the truth surrounding Josh’s death puts both their lives in danger. This is a fast paced story with plenty of twists and turns which kept me guessing as to the outcome. Marnie and Louise are once again a great team, and both the characters and the setting of a VA Behavioral Health Clinic came to life through the descriptive narrative. I thought the issues raised in this story regarding PTSD were dealt with honestly and sensitively. I look forward to the physicians next investigation!

Book number two in this series and we have another murder mystery for Dr Liccione and Dr Finnerty. This time, a young veteran dies by suicide and his wife believes something else is up. The doctors must figure out if there really is something evil at play or if there are rampant suicides happening. They once again, get involved in something people don’t want them involved in and it becomes dangerous. This was another hit for me. I love how descriptive the authors are. I hope they continue this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Finnerty and Liccione Mystery series. While the books can be read as a stand alone I do recommend reading them in order to get a better grip of the characters and their pasts.
This is a medical murder mystery with twists and turns that keep you guessing with every turn of the page. I never knew what was coming and I was surprised as the story unravelled.
The author does a great job of handling subjects such as PTSD and addiction in the story in a way that is informative and respectful. Allowing the reader an insight into what that is really like for the people suffering.
When a young veteran is found dead in his car in the garage of the VA Behavioral Health clinic the question becoming was it murder or suicide?
When Dr. Marnie Liccione and Dr. Louise Finnerty join forces again to get to the truth they start to uncover things which could have dangerous consequences for them both. With a dangerous drug doing the rounds and drug ring operating could this be the cause of the deaths/suicides of so many veterans? And can they get to the bottom of this before another life is lost?
With danger, threats, and race against time this is a fast paced story that I couldn’t stop reading

3 Stars

The start of the book was a bit confusing. It did get easier to understand  as the characters were explained and their general lives were expanded on. It was a very complex medical thriller. It was a very gripping “who-done-it” while they determined if it was murder or suicide.

Just knowing what the veterans go through as they are reintegrated into society after serving and the various levels of PTSD is gut-wrenching. I felt like it gave the audience real-world explanation of what military personnel go through.

Breaking Apart is book two in the Finnerty and Liccione Series by the powerful duo Wanda Venters and Mary Rae. I dove right into this immediately after finishing book one, and finished this one almost entirely in one sitting. This one can be read as a stand-alone, however be warned, it does contain spoilers for book one if you haven’t read it yet. I adored the way these two authors are not afraid to write about the harsher, real topics that most authors don’t. I have definitely fallen in love with this authors and cannot wait to see what else they have in store for us!

I love a good medical thriller and this one did not disappoint!

Marnie finds one of her clients, a veteran, while on her shift. It’s not immediately clear if this is the result of a suicide or something more sinister. Marnie and her co-workers are conducting trials on PTSD with the veterans and now have growing concerns for the rest of the clients.

This is very well done and is the second book in the series. I strongly recommend reading them both but make sure you set aside ample time because you won’t want to put this down!

Breaking Apart is the second book in the Finnerty and Liccione Mystery Series . This is a Medical Mystery/ Crime that is hard to put down once you get into it. I’m going to be honest I had a hard time getting into it at first there is a whole lot going on. But once I did I had a hard time putting it down. I had to know what was going to happen next. This is packed with action , drama , mystery, suspense and so much more. It also touches on serious topics of PTSD and addiction. This story took me on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride but man it was worth it in the end. I don’t want to give anything away.i highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

In this story the widow of veteran Josh Baker is seeking answers to her husband’s untimely passing. She is unsure if it was self inflicted or was it homicide? Drs Liccione and Finnerty are prepared to investogate and help Mrs. Baker get spme answers so that she can properly grieve. Will they be able to help her get the closer she so desperatley needs or will the bad guys stop them from finding the truth? Peppered throughout the story are things that are happening to our vets in the real world such as PTSD and addiction. Writing about things that are happening outside of this fictional world makes the book so much more relatable. It helps us to better understand what these men and women deal with daily. I’m glad I took a chance on this medical mystery as it is something outside of what I would normally read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second installment of the Finnerty and Liccione series, and believe me when I tell you I almost cried when it was over. I wanted it to last much longer. Again, these co-authors turned out a story that is so well-written and intriguing that it is SO HARD to put down and deal with the responsibilities of normal life. In this book, Drs Finnerty and Liccione once again set out to figure out a mysterious death – this time of a veteran. Like the first book, this one is full of real-life problems that many face every day. I am hoping there is a third book to this series and highly recommend this and the first to anyone wanting to get lost in a good story.

Seeing this I had to give it a try, like who better to write a medical murder mystery than two MDs 😀 you just know the lingo was going to be a plus. This is my first time reading work from these authors and I’m glad I did. Although I have a hard time stopping myself from going to the end to peek at who did ( i may or may not have done it lol) I enjoyed the nail biting ride it was getting there. I will 100 percent be going back to reading the previous book.( even though you don’t have to to understand). The author did a fantastic job at keeping you intrigued while reading. Switching from multiple POVs, which furthers the tangled web of mystery and secrets like i said it will keep you on your toes. I Highly recommend you give this book a try, if you haven’t already.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

::trigger warnings for suicide, PTSD, addiction::
Breaking Apart was a pretty complex crime mystery book, which is apparently book 2 in the Finnerty and Liccione Mystery series. I did not know that until after completing, and thoroughly enjoyed the book. I did struggle with all the characters, and keeping them straight, so perhaps that would have been minimized by reading the first book. I thought it was cool that it was written by two doctors. Reading a little about them, it seems they incorporated a bit of fact into their story (Wanda Venters worked in pediatrics and has 2 labradoodles). I like crime, mystery, and psychology, so this was a must read for me. The topic of the book is very eye opening- PTSD, Veterans suicides, addiction, black market drugs, and get rich schemes. The book did a good job of balancing the mystery surrounding Josh’s death, with characters development and their personal lives. The book had me intrigued, and I found myself on google several times, trying to validate if what I was reading was real or based on the author’s imagination. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering what was gonna happen next.

The start of this book was kinda confusing in explaining what was going on. After getting through the beginning it did get better, still a little slow, but it gets gradually more interesting about the halfway point. I like how the characters all knew each other in part of their lives. Overall it does give the reader how much the real world is like for the military personnel who choose to go back to the civilian world especially after during a tour that affected them mentally and emotionally.

Another awesome book by this author. Once I started reading it I just could not put it down. I enjoyed it so much that I can’t wait to see if they release another book in this series.

Marnie starts a new job at the VA Center and on her first day there she finds a deceased man in a pick up truck in the parking garage. It looks like he has committed suicide. When his wife finds out she just can’t believe it. She says that things were going good between them. Josh was looking forward to his new job at the hospital.

The Police have ruled it as a suicide and closed the case, Amanda insists that she needs answers and asks Marnie to help her find them. So Marnie and Louise set off to see if they can find anything to confirm or deny Amanda’s suspicions.

I really enjoyed this book and think you will too. Check it out and give it a try. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Breaking Apart if Book 2 in the Finnerty and Liccione Mystery….and this was so well written and the emotions of this story….wow. This story is centered around PTSD, mystery, suspense, lies, struggles and took me on a roller coaster of emotions.

Dr. Marnie Liccione and Dr. Louise Finnerty are back with another medical mystery, this time the investigation stems the death of a Veteran. The question is…was this suicide or murder? Marnie and Louise are now trying to piece together the truth of this matter…..

Overall..this was a fantastic and emotional read. I highly recommend reading the series from the beginning and looking forward to more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Breaking Apart is the second book in the A Finnerty and Liccione Mystery series. It reads fine as a standalone, but does contain spoilers for the events of the previous book. I don’t often read medical thrillers but was interested in trying something new and there was enough in common between this and standard murder mysteries that it felt familiar!

The story is really intriguing. It’s clear early on that there’s a lot going on, with some big secrets and mysteries to untangle. There’s a large cast of characters, and the narrative switches frequently between the points of view of many of them. To begin with I found this somewhat confusing but as I got used to the style and recognised different characters it was easier to follow.

I found the medical side of the book very interesting. The story explores issues such as PTSD and addiction with sensitivity and understanding. There is a particular attention to health issues faced by veterans, as well as the challenges faced by medical professionals in various fields.

This book gets four stars from me. I’d recommend it to fans of medical thrillers, as well as mystery fans looking for something a bit different.
