But when a dogged detective digs deeper into the case, the political superstar must decide just how far he is willing to go to keep his dark secret and avoid an explosive scandal that could ruin him and rock the entire nation.
Kritters Thoughts: Have you ever been sucked into a story from page one? Have you ever known who the bad guy was, but somehow kept rooting for him a little? Danny and Blair, two friends who have stood by each other's side until a fateful night where careless driving ends up with someone dead and a friendship lost.
I had a hard time reading this book because I kept finding myself feeling a little pity for the resident bad guy. I blame the nasty father-in-law and the conniving wife, if it weren't for them our bad guy would have been put in the dog house much faster. Full of colorful characters, this book had heart and soul with a story that progressed through the years with ease and finesse. I loved jumping through times in both of their lives and watching both of them grow.
Rating: absolutely loved it and want a sequel
Pages: 320

ReplyDeleteI loved that the bad guy had you in his corner but you was hating it, lol
ReplyDeleteGreat review.
A good story is a good story, even when you know who the bad guy is. I was sort of sucked in just reading the blurb and it's not normally the type of book I'd pick up.
