Story
Charlie Webb is a third rate lawyer who graduated from a third rate law-school and, because he couldn’t get hired by any of the major law firms, has opened his own law firm, where he gets by handling cases for dubious associates from his youth and some court appointed cases. Described as “a leaky boat floating down the stream of life,” Charlie has led unremarkable life, personally and professionally. Until he’s appointed to be the attorney for a decidedly crackpot artist who calls himself Guido Sabatini (born Lawrence Weiss).

The plot had potential. However, it was drawn out. Pacing was slow. I never became attached to the characters or the outcome. It became bogged down in the middle so much it lost its way. Certainly, not his best.

This is a well thought out story with likable characters and a few good plot twists. The narration is also good. But it doesn't break the mold of mystery books with exceptional writing.

It seems like an open-and-shut case for FBI special agent Lucy Thorne when Eliza Cook walks into the field office. The teenage girl confesses to murdering a young boy. Disturbingly composed, she reveals chilling details only the killer could know. Beyond that Eliza doesn't say another word, leaving a vital question met with dead silence: Why did she do it?

I wanted to like this but it was dull. I couldn't get into the plot. The pacing was very slow and the narration was monotone. Save your credit for a better novel.

This story had promise, an intriguing premise but in the middle of the plot it lost its way. The characters became boring, the pace of the novel slowed. I am not impressed and glad I got this on a sale.

Reminiscent of Steven King's "Misery," but not anywhere near as good. The story became unreal, tried to pack too much into it. Characters weren't realistic. Became boring. Pass this one by. Not worth the credit.

Story
When ten-year-old Ebby Freeman heard the gunshot, time stopped. And when she saw her brother, Baz, lying on the floor surrounded by the shattered pieces of a centuries-old jar, life as Ebby knew it shattered as well. The crime was never solved—and because the Freemans were one of the only Black families in a particularly well-to-do enclave of New England—the case has had an enduring, voyeuristic pull for the public. The last thing the Freemans want is another media frenzy splashing their family across the papers, but when Ebby's high profile romance falls apart, that's exactly what they get.

Great character development. A bit disappointed in legal aspects of this however. This part was unrealistic. Narration was excellent. Worth your credit. The ending was a bit abrupt.
