Reviews

[Harvey · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 stars

Liked the main character, Addy McNeil, former star investigative reporter and recovering drug addict.

I liked the 1990's "old school" newspaper milieu; no cellphones (fax machines).

However, the plot was just too predictable.

Nevertheless, I will try another one in the series.

I nearly quit reading this book in the beginning. However, I decided to read some more hoping that the book would get better. Well, the first book in this series about a Boston newspaper reporter got better and better. There are a total of four books about Addy McNeil as of 2008.
