A 2023 review by Alma Boucher, READER'S FAVORITE "Beware the Ides of March: A Novel Based on Psychic Readings by Bruce Miller introduces Ron Dalton, who is behind bars in the Miami-Dade County jail for a murder he did not commit. Ron lost his wife and most of his money. If the case is not thrown out of court, he will get the death penalty. All this happened because of a fortune teller. Twenty-six years ago, the mother of Ron's girlfriend read his fortune. She told Ron that a young woman might die because of him in the future. Ron had completely forgotten about the prophecy. While flying to the Bahamas on a fishing trip, Ron saw a woman's face, and he remembered the prophecy, although he could not recall the details of the reading. Ron fights with himself, tormented, and tries to stop the killing as other unexpected and terrifying things happen...
"...The story is original and exciting and is based on a true account of a psychic foretelling the future, which makes this book all the more compelling and intriguing. It was fast-paced and challenging to put down. The characters were authentic and relatable. I believe that there is a psychic reality and that governments, law enforcement, and large organizations all use psychics at some point. Two stories involving the DEA and an innocent attorney are intertwined in a brilliant finish that leaves room for a second book. It is a gripping thriller with a fitting end." -- Alma Boucher, READER'S FAVORITE, FIVE STARS.

Five Stars. "Beware the Ides of March" by Bruce Miller is a fast-paced story based on a true event. Exciting and entertaining! I loved the Grand Jury Room scene and the legal theories were fascinating. I could relate to recalling things foretold in the past coming to consciousness as the events start to happen. Great characters, and great dialogue. An excellent thriller! Highly recommended." - Verified purchase
"This was a quick-paced, interesting, action-filled read. I really liked the plot because it was unique in my reading experiences. Julian, the disguise artist, was my favorite character. While it was a legal thriller, I was surprised at the comfortable evolution of a love story between two other central characters. I wasn't expecting that. And the author did it skillfully." -- Tennessee Gidget
"This story has so many levels. Love. Gangsters. Lawyers. Intriguing side plots. Psychics. It was an interesting read...
You won't be disappointed if you get this book." - Glenn DiCaro
"Just finished this fast-paced thriller and what an interesting idea. This book has it all, beautiful women, rich successful men, drug dealers, clever cops psychic mediums, and at the center poor Ron Dalton who tries to keep everything together. A very entertaining read that moves from past to present quite smoothly as it weaves its way through to the bitter end." - Sam Harper
