Synopsis:
After a murdered partner, a cheating wife and a lost job in Houston, Nick Sibelius sets up a private investigation business in a small Texas town hoping to find some peace and maybe, himself. When a couple disappears and a bass fisherman turns up dead, he finds himself drawn into a web of toxic relationships: MaryLou, a beautiful woman with a mysterious past; Junior, a failed farmer whose best intentions seem to always result in a dead body; Barry, a sociopathic dentist turned illegal toxic waste entrepreneur with visions of grandeur. When the felon who killed his partner in Houston joins forces with Barry, Nick must not only stop the toxic waste dumping while finding his client’s missing daughter, but keep from being killed in the process. In the end, MaryLou’s dark secret will either save him or kill him -- whichever comes first.

Review:
"Toxic Relationship" is a suspense crime novel with more than a touch of humor. Richard pens his characters sort of nutty and dysfunctional but totally lovable. This is a great book to read if your looking for some good laughs. I totally enjoyed this book and recommend it to all readers, whether you are a fan of suspense or not.
I give "Toxic Relationship" a 5 star rating.
