A Simple Act of Violence by R.J. Ellory

Title: A Simple Act of Violence
Author: R.J. Ellory
Did I listen or read?: library book
When did I finish?: Sept, 2012
When was the book published: 2011
Main Characters: Detective Robert Miller, murder victim Catherine Sheehan, John Robey - college professor.  Miller's partner Al Roth
What happens? Miller investigates Sheehan's murder, gets assigned responsibility for 3 other serial killings, and gets entwined in a plot with CIA overtones.
How long was this?  448 pages
Did I like this? Not as great as "A Quiet Verdict."  Good story, great character development.  The political story being told is interesting, plausible, but perhaps not as compelling as I would like.
Overall grade: B+
