Keep It Real Bill Bryan Bleak House Books ISBN: 978-1-932557-31-2 Fiction, Mystery Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Ted’s life has taken a strange turn. Once a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, he now finds himself heading up a reality television show called The Mogul. Normally Ted wouldn’t even consider the job but he’s got bills (alimony to his ex who is living in luxury spending more on her appearance in a day than Ted makes in a month). Then, there’s Hallie. Ted’s daughter is the absolute love of his life and he’ll do whatever it takes to spend more time with her. Despite the new job and the sold out attitude, there still seems to be a bit of a journalist still in there. So when Ted stubbles upon a mystery he just can’t seem to let it go. 

Keep It Real is a witty read with fully developed characters and a number of good one liners. Normally, I like raw, sarcastic individuals but I felt that perhaps Ted and his buddies were just a bit too over the top. Unfortunately, I never really felt a kinship or bond with any of the characters so what could have been a really good book was reduced to an interesting read.
