This was an entertaining read. It has a great premise of a reporter looking into the story of man wrongly convicted of murder during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Who's lying? Who's telling the truth? What is the REAL motive behind the reporter's investigation. The reason I didn't give it a higher rating is that as a first novel, I thought the writing, although good, could have used an editor. There was a lot of character jumping also, so I couldn't get too invested in any one person. Lastly, despite the action and thrills the author delivers, I felt there were missed opportunities where a more sinister conspiracy could have been hinted at, where any character at any given moment could fall victim to the dark forces hiding their secrets. All that being said, I have high hopes for this author and I look forward to his next work.… (mais)
