Isosceles by Scott R. Caseley Review

 
About the book:

When he finds his best friend Trey Goodsby dead and almost completely submerged in a bathtub filled with bloody water, Sean McIntyre is determined to find out if it was an accident or suicide. Did his death accidental or intentional have anything to do with Madeline Edwards, the woman who came between them constantly through their thirteen-year friendship? The tale begins with the death of Trey Goodsby, and explores his relationships with family, friends, his romances, and which of the circumstances he found himself in that led to the tragic event, and the repercussions for those he left behind.

About the author:
While this is his first novel, he wrote and directed a dramatic feature, co-wrote and directed a documentary and wrote for an online magazine. He’s also a trained voice, stage, and screen actor. In addition to his creative pursuits, he is passionate about healthy living. He follows a mostly self-directed fitness quest consisting of weight training, walking, swimming, yoga, and hula hooping. When not working out, he also enjoys cooking healthy gourmet meals as well as playing board games with family and friends with plenty of coffee brewing to keep the fun going until the wee hours of the morning.

My Review:
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book. I was surprised how the author managed to keep a love triangle interesting, after Trey died. Triangle references were fun to look for in the book. This was a coming of age book mixed with mystery and of course drama. I liked that the book started with someone dead. The author did a great job of getting my interest. I expected the ending, but not the way the author told it. I am giving this book a 3/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

    Thank you very much for your words of support in your review of my work. I am glad that I was able to maintain your interest in the love triangle after Trey's death and that you enjoyed looking for the triangle references I peppered through the piece.
