What happens? Brittany has one date with Rick Jessup, who is a prototypical psychopath political mover and shaker, working for Liam Goodman, city councilman. He drugs her and date rapes her, and turns up dead, after Moses beat the crap out of him for injuring Brittany. His shillelagh is missing and the wound on Jessup's head has the same shape, and Moses is clearly the most likely suspect.
How long was this? 418 pages
Did I like this? This is a really great thriller, very well written, impossible to tell what is going to happen next, lots of long term implications for the characters. A wonderful page turner of a story, very believable with characters that you care about.
Overall grade: A
