I especially like that they're all standalone books, since it makes it easier and gives each individual book a central case and plot - which really just seems to fit better. This particular one definitely took some crazy turns along the way, but overall follows the same general pattern as the previous books. And, hey, it works! Dillard is an increasingly likable and moral character, a varied supporting cast comes in and out of the picture while still each being developed enough to care about, and as a reader I'm definitely engaged enough to want to know where this guy's career goes next. Joe Dillard witnesses one of his lawyer friends being denigrated by an unpopular and somewhat power mad judge. His friend then commits suicide in court in front of that same judge, who is later found hanging from a tree outside his own home. Joe’s family are involved because his friend’s wife is also a close friend of Joe’s wife, and Joe’s son is best friends with the Miller’s son who becomes the main suspect in the murder inquiry. What this story shows is just how corrupt officials can be – the judge for one, and members of the FBI for another. Sherriff Bates, who has featured in previous stories, plays a very large part in setting things to rights, but the internal politicking that takes place is quite mind boggling. The book is well conceived and moves through the story with some pace, all the ends are neatly tied up even though Joe ends up with a role in which he did not see himself. The next books are probably even more revealing. no reviews | add a review
