The sensitive, brooding, witty protagonist in an attempt to better his condition falls prey to misfortune. He gains our sympathy and we root for him. His clever sense of humor helps him survive. A believable character and plot, set in the 70's brings us back to that period with accuracy. With pleasure, I look forward to the next in the series.
First in series shows great promise.

Met the author at book signing while on holiday in Scottsdale at Poisoned Pen. Very impressive background and charming speaker. No doubt it is a first novel, but it contains lots of strong moments. Mr. Oliver's discussion of where his protagonist is going (and growing) whet the appetite for more of Moody. Moody and his associates in Spokane can make you laugh and make you cry. You cannot help but care about them. Interesting plot that is fully resolved.
