This book was one of two in the same item by this author. Having enjoyed the first one, I was looking forward to reading this. Sorry to say that it isnt one that I would recommend. It concerns a lawyer, Adam, who finds one of his lady clients dead. One of the suspects is her husband, but Adam thinks otherwise and the book is about his attempts to find out whodunnit and why. He is not helped in this by a very stroppy policeman who appears to regard him with the same contempt as the husband, andI love a good Richard North Patterson book! This was an okay book. I'm still giving it 3 stars because (1) it is his first book (& clearly he improved his writing skills by the time I discovered him with Degree of Guilt) & (2) Patterson kept me guessing - & interested - about who the killer was.
Richard North Patterson has alway been one of my favorite authors. His books are thoughtful and well written. This was a great exposure of layers of secrets finally coming to a head. He discovered cases of unrequited love that smoldered for decades resulting in death and destruction. He discovered that old moneyed Alabama wasn't all he thought it would be. It was an enjoyable read.

DisappointedI have been a Richard North Patterson fan and this book was okay but not as compelling as his other efforts. His other books have had good. Character development and I just needful d myself liking most of the characters in this effort.
Intriguing but surprisingly dated having been written in the 70s. I always enjoy RNP's books but this isn't my favorite
A very talented author. He is very good in developing complex characters & the story line stays gripping. This is the first time in a long time I literally could not put a book up.
