Joe Clifford’s Broken Ground takes us further into his unconventional hero’s life. An Everyman we can readily relate to, Jay Porter is an estate-clearing handyman with PTSD stemming from his brother's suicide-by-cop. In this fourth book, Jay’s ex-wife (Jennie), her new husband, and Jay's son, Aidan, have moved into a MacMansion closer to him so he can spend more time with his son. Jay has given up alcohol and is working on quitting smoking, as he makes headway into being a better part-time dad. When a high school classmate asks him to locate her sister, Jay is unwillingly drawn into another mystery and again puts himself at risk to do the right thing. Clifford’s clues are subtle enouugh that you quickly realize that if it’s on the page, it’s important. And, as always in the Jay Porter series, the cold climate is a character in itself, wearing on body and soul. I made the mistake of reading this during the cold snap of early January 2018 and nearly froze to death on my couch. My sole complaint is that I turned the page and the book was over—a real cliffhanger—that left me feeling unsatisfied.
