Murder List

This book kept me engrossed for its entirety. It is written in such a way that it is an easier read while still having steady twists and turns. Even now, a couple days after finishing it, I can't help but think about it.

Never having read any books by this author I wasn't sure what to expect but I'd heard good things about her books so was hoping for a good read. I was not disappointed. The Murder List still has me shaking my head hours later. Hank Phillippi Ryan is a powerful storyteller and kept my interest from the beginning to the end. A legal thriller par excellence with strong characters that you either really like or really despise (some you'd even like to smack!) and a plot that has several twists that had me wondering how did I miss that. Layer by layer the author unwraps a complex story of murders, cold cases, and an inside look at legal activity from the ADA to the prosecutor to the jury itself. Needless to say, I will be looking for more of Ryan's books. Readers who enjoy fast-paced suspense stories will not want to miss this one. Since I usually review books in the Christian genre, be aware this book has a few 'cuss' words. I received a complimentary copy of the book from NetGalley and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
