Book Description

August 3, 2004
New from the author of Love & Justice comes the continuing story of Virginia City's detective Jason Jerrard, who must track down a ruthless murderer while he pieces together the remains of his own shattered heart.

In the second book of Rique Johnson's series featuring Jason Jerrard, Virginia City's finest detective is faced with finding a murderer lurking in the streets of his own city -- a ruthless killer who takes the lives of his victims by brutal beatings.

While Jason is dealing with his own turbulent emotions following the loss of his beloved Sasha, Jason encounters two women, the wife of a political figure and a woman from his past -- Monique, the first love of his life who has reappeared -- who unbeknownst to each other vie for his love and affection.

Meanwhile, the precinct is trying to solve the mysterious cases of lonely men who have fallen prey to brutal beatings and are left for dead. With Jason's close personal friend being the only surviving victim, Virginia City's finest sets out to avenge his friend's attack. Jason finds he must face the killer in a showdown that seethes with enough love, mystery, betrayal, and suspense to captivate readers until the final page.

Masterfully plotted and artfully rendered, Whispers From a Troubled Heart combines the action of a thriller with the deeply felt emotions of a love story. Once again the unstoppable Detective Jerrard is able to capture his killer -- and the heart of the woman he loves.

Rage, resentment, revenge and resilience cross paths in the novel Whispers From a Troubled Heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Heart of a Man, May 20, 2005
This review is from: Whispers From a Troubled Heart (Paperback)
Author Rique Johnson has done it again! I thoroughly enjoyed his debut novel "Love and Justice," and thought that the story could not get any better, but boy was I wrong. I decided to take a peek into Whispers From a Troubled Heart before going to bed and I was up into the wee hours of the morning, carefully turning the pages trying to savor this intense story.

Whispers From a Troubled Heart picks up the action right where Love and Justice left off. Reading that book is a definitely a prerequisite. Detective Jason Jerrard is still grieving over the loss of his love, Sasha, but he soon has his hands full. Not only does he have two women who are both head over heels in love with him, but he also has a new case that hits very close to home. Jason must give his all to handle this case, but will giving his all cause him to everything?

Whispers From a Troubled Heart is an intriguing novel that has something for everyone. It seeps with drama and suspense, but also has elements of a tender and endearing romance. I am enthralled with the character of Jason Jerrard and the plot flows well with many twists that will have readers glued to the pages. Rique Johnson has definitely earned a spot on my list of must read authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heather Covington's 5 Star Pick of the Day: Whispers From a Troubled Heart, August 21, 2005
By 
A YOUnity Guild Book Club (CEO of Disilgold.com /#1 Literary Network) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whispers From a Troubled Heart (Paperback)
Whispers From a Troubled Heart by Rique Johnson is an explosive serial murder mystery set in the town of Virginia City, a place the author knows well as a Virginian. The main character, Detective Jason Jerrard, has just come face- to- face with a past flame named Julie who unexpectedly reappears to claim Jason as her lover at all costs and even if it means turning a gun on his new love, Sasha, and perhaps himself.

What happens next is devastating enough to turn Jason's life upside down, but he hasn't time to breathe or morn the circumstances of an ill-fated love affair gone deadly haywire. Virginia City men are now showing up dead one- by-one all around town.

The murders catch the attention of Mayor Blake who insists on hiring Jason as a private investigator to solve one of the most bizarre series of incidences to face men in the town. The men are brutally beaten, and authorities are bewildered by a chain of events that will entrance readers from chapter to chapter. The rich dialogue, scenic imagery, twisted plot, and masterful story line make Mr. Johnson a veteran in the genre of mystery.

Suddenly, two woman by the name of Crystin and Monique come into Jason's life. One reminds him of his murderous and deceased ex-flame and the other a possible replacement of a woman in his life who was relentlessly killed. Between these two women and heated moments of intense romance, he needs to find out who is beating up and killing the Virginia City men.

Can a woman perform these murders? There is an element of revenge scathing and hinting at an anticipated ending. Mr. Johnson delivers without disappointment. Readers will become engaged in this modern day thriller mystery that questions if Detective Jason Jerrad is sleeping with the enemy, and will he find out before it's too late? Explosive, vivid, concise and well written are just a few words to immaculately describe, Johnson's summer literary blockbuster, Whispers From a Troubled Heart. "A new page-turning mystery writer with an intelligent writing style is born."

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Excellent Read from Rique..., July 23, 2004
By 
This review is from: Whispers From a Troubled Heart (Paperback)
The "Boy Wonder" detective, Jason Jerrard, is back. And, "Love and Justice" is a must read before this thrill-of-a-ride sequel. While coping with the loss of his love, Sasha, Jason encounters two women, the wife of a political figure and a woman from his past, who unbeknownst to each other vie for his love and affection. Meanwhile, the Precinct is trying to solve the mysterious cases of three lonely men who have fallen prey to brutal beatings and are left for dead. With Jason's friend, Alfredo, being the only surviving victim, Virginia City's finest sets out to avenge his friend's attack. Rique has done it again with this heart-stopping sequel. He pulled me into the storylines, as I could relate with the characters. "Whispers From a Troubled Heart" contains the elements (action, mystery and romance) that I need to keep me glued to the pages. I'm looking forward to another Jason adventure.
