There are no perfect individuals here even though some may seem so on the surface. The characters (there are quite a few) are well developed and complicated people. To top it off, a Hollywood true crime writer has come to cover the story and he has designs on Ellen. She’s pitted against a hot shot attorney from Minneapolis with whom she has personal history and a judge who has a super sized ego. What seems to be an open and shut case turns into anything but. She’s been handed the case involving Garrett Wright who Mitch Holt arrested for the assault of Megan O’Malley and the abduction of Josh Kirkwood. The story continues with the State’s Assistant City Attorney Ellen North at the forefront. However, I liked the book even though it had some issues. I’ll start off by saying I’m not a fan of having to read two books to figure out the resolution to a mystery. This is the follow up to the first book in the Deer Lake series.
