My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/723004365">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
James Grippando is a new favorite author of mine.  I love a good mystery and this book was good, just not a favorite.<br /><br />It started out really good, but the middle got a little dry.  It would have moments of white knuckle intensity followed by a whole lot of slow moving lawyer mumbo jumbo.  <br /><br />The ending was great, but took a long time getting there.  The problem was I would look at my kindle and it would say 91% but the book still wasn't wrapping up.  I found myself watching the percentage increase and wondering when the climax of the book was coming.  I also felt like the ending happened too fast.  I wanted a little more closure from the side characters like Theo, Cindy, and Evelyn.  If book 3 picks up where this one left off than I may come back and give it 4 stars.  Otherwise, I am giving this book a solid 3.<br /><br />There was a murder/suicide scene where the woman is naked, but no other sex scenes.  The "f word" here and there, but not excessive.
