Nicky Fusco thought he knew right from wrong, living by an oath of friendship & honor with his three best friends. But life took them down separate paths, and the oath was broken. Secrets were kept. Years later they are reunited and the bonds of their friendship are brutally tested, putting them on a collision course set in motion long ago.
Murder Takes Time is not a typical murder mystery or mob story. It is a thriller, a romance, and a coming-of-age story that rips your heart out. By the time you're done reading it, you just might find yourself rethinking the definition of friendship & honor--even right and wrong.
Three boys, one girl. Friendship, honor, love--betrayal. It ends with murder. Amazon.com

This book was so very astounding good, delightful, scary, and heartbreaking! I don't think I'll ever forget it! The author has truly written a most beloved book! Probably in a lot of people's lives the old neighborhood that the author talks about "was that's what and how the old neighborhood lived". And the "old neighborhood" was good and then not so good. The characters were so typical of what everyone has run into and made the story just perfect! The plot was well put together and the ending was just wonderful. Don't think the author left any thought unfinished as to the characters by the time the story ended. His rules of friendship, how he was taught to murder along with his neighbor mother figure and a Sister of his Catholic School were just wonderful! Truly a great read and probably would recommend to anyone to read as long as they're over the age of 18! Off to find more of his books!
