Book Two: Your Turn To Die
What Readers Are Saying!
Fast Paced And Michigan Based!
Mark does a great job with describing the characters and creating a fast paced crime novel, all set in Michigan! ~B. Cohen 
Great Follow-Up In The Jefferson Chene Mystery Series To Why 319!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Marc Love’s 2nd novel in the Jefferson Chene series. Having gotten to know many of the characters in the first (Why 319), I felt like I was reuniting with old friends in the early pages of the second, particularly the scrappy Pappy Cantrell (Captain of the group of detectives), and Chene himself. Your Turn to Die has all the characteristics I have grown attached to in Mr Love’s writing: entertaining dialogue amongst well described characters who are easy to visualize, great pacing, and a very satisfying resolution. Also evident is the author’s true love of mystery writing. It’s a great read to say the least. ~Laurence Schanker 
On The Edge Of My Seat!
This is the 2nd Jefferson Chene mystery that I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Love uses the metro Detroit area as a backdrop for his storytelling. Chene is surrounded by interesting characters while trying to solve the case. ~Big Tech Alum

It was supposed to be a friendly round of paintball. But blood, not paint, covers Kyle Morrissey's body. Though admired by the public for his charity, the businessman was no choirboy. Could it be that more than one person wants him dead?
Sergeant Jefferson Chene and his detective squad catch the case. With two new faces on the team, he finds himself in the unfamiliar role as mentor. He is also cautiously beginning a relationship with Simone Bettencourt, the beautiful woman he met while pursuing a serial murderer. Complicating the case are two retired gangsters, a fortune in jewels, and Detroit's history of organized crime. But the squad must utilize every resource available to catch a killer.

If You Like A Good Mystery Then This Novel Is For You!
As a member of the Stormy Night Writer's Society, I am interested in fiction, particularly mystery fiction. Your Turn to Die was well written and had a good storyline. A bonus for Michigan folks, particularly those who of you who live in the Detroit area, the story takes place in your locale. One of those 'who done it' books you don't want to put down until you find out! Who done it? ~Jane Sorn 
Hard To Put Down!
I may be a little prejudiced since this is my brother-in-law, but the book was great! I have read all of them and they keep getting better and better. We are from the area and so it has special meaning. Hope there will be more. ~V

This Mystery Is Edgy, Colorful, And Realistic!
A dead body amongst a paintball course discovered brings Sgt. Chene and his detectives in between warring factions. As the suspect list grows, Chene realizes that his time is running out to catch the killer. Your Turn to Die is a gritty mystery set in the heart of Detroit. The narration is descriptive. The cast of characters is quite large. But the mystery is one that kept me guessing until the very end. I’m a voracious mystery reader. I read at least three mystery books a week. I like my detective mysteries to be edgy, colorful, and realistic. Your Turn to Die ticks all my boxes and more. The narration is a great companion to the world-building. Every scene is detailed as is the investigation. Mark Love takes the reader into the mind of Sgt. Chene as he uncovers clues and motivations. The narration is a huge part of why I dove into the mystery. The characters are another reason to love Your Turn to Die. Sgt. Chene is a brilliant detective. He’s got an uncanny ability to solve crimes using logic and hard work. He also knows how to sniff out when a suspect is lying. The rest of the characters are realistic and well-written. Each character is not easy to peg down but intriguing none the less. The plot unfolds at a good pace with false clues, dead ends, and many suspects to weed through. The writing is sophisticated yet emotive. Your Turn to Die is a brilliant little mystery and one I thoroughly enjoyed. Recommend to mystery readers. ~N.N. Light |
